Explain how each of the following factors affect the rate of photosynthesis 1) temperature 2) inorganic ions

The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, water, CO2 concentration and temperature.
On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic.
The thing is that photosynthesis will be held back by whichever factor is in shortest supply.
As I sit in my study in England, the sun is shining brightly, but the temperature outside is only 5ºC. I suspect the rate of photosynthesis is limited by temperature today.
Yesterday was a dull day, but in the middle of the day it was not cold and I suspect there wasn't enough light for photosynthesis. If I had turned the security lights on my house on, the plants in my garden might (possibly) have photosynthesised faster.
In summer, some farmers growing crops in glasshouses actually increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air as all their plants have plenty of water and light and the temperature is near the best possible for photosynthesis.
A good way to investigate this might be with the help of algae and you can use the 'Immobilised Algae' practical for this.
Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, don't bother trying to investigate water as a variable - plants normally wilt and wither long before water restricts photosynthesis at the biochemical level. They need water to support the plant to face the sun as well as a raw material of photosynthesis.
The simplest equation for photosynthesis:-
Carbon dioxide + water -----(in light, with chlorophyll and enzymes)----> sugar + oxygen
Temperature speeds up all chemical reactions - photosynthesis is no exception.
Enzymes work better in warm conditions (up to about 50ºC when enzymes start to be destroyed by heat).
The idea to get across is that different conditions will be most important on different occasions. This morning, my garden could do with more warmth - yesterday, it could do with more light / sun!

What is not true about alcohol?
nikklg [1K]

Alcohol gives you energy is not true about alcohol. So, the correct option is (c).

As a depressive, alcohol can upset this equilibrium and have an impact on our emotions, thoughts, and behaviour. This is due in part to neurotransmitters, which are molecules that aid in signal transmission from one brain nerve to another.

Your coordination will be impaired by alcohol since it will require more mental effort to cause your muscles to obey directions. Your brain needs more time to see, comprehend, relate to, and decide how to respond to something when you drink alcohol. Alcohol has an impact on almost every organ system in our body.

Therefore, Alcohol gives you energy is not true about alcohol. So, the correct option is (c).

<h2>Next generation DNA sequencing</h2>

Explanation:

CDC must use Next generation DNA sequencing  method to determine the DNA sequence of the dengue virus.

The mostly used sequencing methods now a days are called Next-generation sequencing methods. They are faster, cheaper , accurate and need a small amount of sample.

Next generation sequencing platforms perform massively parallel sequencing, during which millions of fragments of DNA from a single sample are sequenced in unison. Massively parallel sequencing technologies facilitates high -throughput sequencing, which allows an entire genome to be sequenced in one day.

in Medical research where speed is necessary and sample size is small, these sequencing technology will be best to be used.
