A scientist is using a species of green algae to study the electron transport chain in photosynthesis. He uses a laser to inacti

vate all of chlorophyll A in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact (case 1). In a separate experiment, the scientist applies a chemical to the algae that inhibit PS I but do not affect PS II (case 2).
Which of the following results is expected?
A)in case 1, only PS I completely loses function; in case 2, no proton gradient is produced.
B)In case 1, only PS I completely loses function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.
C)In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, no proton gradient is produced.
D)In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.

Answer:

D) In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.

Explanation:

The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis, which produces the ATP and NADPH needed in the light independent stage of the process, includes complexes of proteins and pigments called PHOTOSYSTEMS. These photosystems (I and II) are key to the functionality of the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid.

The major pigment present in both photosystems is CHLOROPHYLL A, which absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center. Chlorophyll B is only an accessory pigment meaning it can be done without. Hence, if all of the chlorophyll A is inactivated in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact as in case 1, both PS I and PS II will lose their function because Chlorophyll A is the major pigment that absorbs light energy in both photosystems.

In case 2, if PS I is inhibited and PS II is unaffected, a PROTON GRADIENT WILL STILL BE PRODUCED because the splitting of water into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) occurs in PSII. Hence, H+ ions can still be pumped into the inner membrane of the thylakoid in order to build a proton gradient even without the occurrence of PS I.

CPT codes for diagnostic radiology for the hemic and lymphatic systems are covered under which range?a. 75600-75989b. 77001-7702
Ket [755]

Answer:

a. 75600-75989

Explanation:

CPT(current procedural terminologies)are a set of medical codes used to describe procedures and services perform by health practitioners.

Hemic and lymphatic systems covers procedures of the spleen bone marrow and stem cells and the lymph nodes.

Here codes for procedures such as Splenectomy can be found.

They will be covered under the range 75600-75989 of the cpt codes.

Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms.<br><br> a. True<br> b. False
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

An endocrine system refers to a series of ductless glands and organs responsible for the production and secretion of hormones that are used by the body for the performance of various functions such as metabolism, controlling growth, reproduction, mood, sleep, etc. These hormones are secreted directly into the circulatory system (blood) and then transported to the organs and tissues in the body.

Basically, the endocrine system contributes significantly to the state of homeostasis in the body.

Homeostasis can be defined as a process through which a living organism maintains a steady or stable physical, internal and chemical environment that is ideal to enhance life and proper functionality.

Homeostasis is maintained through feedback mechanisms, which are either positive or negative feedback.

During a negative feedback, a sensor and a control center in the body of a living organism maintains blood glucose to regulate blood pressure by releasing glucagon to increase blood sugar or releasing insulin to decrease blood sugar.

For a positive feedback, a sensor and a control center aids child birth by causing the uterine to contract.

A= pigment
emmainna [20.7K]

Here you have two characteristics to cross on Punnet square: Blood type and pigment.

They told you both parents are AB this means co-dominance of A and B, you draw the Punnett square (photo), and you'll see your offspring possibilities are 50% AB type, 25% A type, and 25% B type.

Now they told you both parents are homozygous for pigments this means Aa. When you draw the Punnett square (photo), you'll see your offspring possibilities are 50% Aa, 25% AA, and 25% aa.

75% pigmented and 25% albino.
