Healthy individuals of Paramecium bursaria contain photosynthetic algal endosymbionts of the genus Chlorella. When within their

hosts, the algae are referred to as zoochlorellae. In aquaria with light coming from only one side, P. bursaria gather at the well-lit side, whereas other species of Paramecium gather at the opposite side. The zoochlorellae provide their hosts with glucose and oxygen, and P. bursaria provides its zoochlorellae with protection and motility. P. bursaria can lose its zoochlorellae in two ways: (1) if kept in darkness, the algae will die; and (2) if prey items (mostly bacteria) are absent from its habitat, P. bursaria will digest its zoochlorellae. Theoretically, P. bursaria can obtain zoochlorellae either vertically (via the asexual reproduction of its mother cell) or horizontally (by ingesting free-living Chlorella from its habitat). Consider a P. bursaria cell containing zoochlorellae but whose habitat lacks free-living Chlorella. If this cell subsequently undergoes many generations of asexual reproduction, if all of its daughter cells contain roughly the same number of zoochlorellae as it had originally contained, and if the zoochlorellae are all haploid and identical in appearance, then which statement is accurate?

Answer:

<em>Zoochlorellae</em> also reproduced asexually at a nearly constant rate

Explanation:

<em>Zoochlorellae</em> (singular <em>Zoochlorella</em>), also referred to as <em>Chlorella</em>-like algae, is a genus of algae that live inside freshwater protozoans (e.g., <em>Paramecium bursaria</em>), exhibiting a symbiotic association with their hosts. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that produces new individuals without the fusion of gametes and does not involve a change in the number of chromosomes. In consequence, a haploid parent, i.e., an individual who contains a single set (n) of chromosomes, will produce haploid (n) offspring. Moreover, and since the question indicates that daughter cells contain approximately the same number of zoochlorellae cells as parent cells, it is expected to observe an asexual reproduction rate at a fairly constant rate over time.

In the polymerization of DNA, a phosphodiester bond is formed between a phosphate group of the nucleotide being added and which
valina [46]

Answer: B

Explanation:

During polymerization of nucleotides to form nucleic acids, the hydroxyl group on the phosphate group attaches to the 3’ carbon of a sugar of one nucleotide to form an ester bond to the phosphate of another nucleotide. The reaction forms a phosphodiester linkage and eliminates a water molecule.

The DNA strands generally runs from 5 prime to 3 prime direction.

Explain how the taiga is different from the other forest ecosystems.
serg [7]

Taiga is a winter type forest. Taiga is different then other ecosystems because other ecosystems are not has cold has Taiga. Taiga ecosystems can get has low has -70 °F (or -60° C)

But Taiga ecosystems can get has hot has 104°F (or 40°C)

Taiga ecosystems can get colder then tundra (which is another very cold too)

Some things that make the Taiga ecosystems unique is:

  1. Evergreen trees, the Taiga is COVERED with these.

Hope this helps!

Any extra info can be provided!
