Answer:
a. Oxygen performs an essential role in the mentioned microbial cell in a manner that it takes part in the procedure of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain, which eventually assists in the production of energy from food substrates and this generation of energy helps the cell to survive.
In the existence of oxygen, sugar gets dissociated through glycolysis to generate pyruvate, which again in the existence of oxygen is transformed into acetyl CoA. This moves into the Krebs cycle and gets dissociated to water and carbon dioxide generating ATP through ETC. This generation of ATP helps the cell to survive.
In low oxygen surrounding or in the absence of oxygen, some of the aerobic microbes can switch their respiratory pathway and carry on the process of fermentation and anaerobic respiration to produce energy and thrive. However, the mentioned microbial cell, which when it comes in contact with the low oxygen environment cannot carry out fermentation process and would die eventually.
b. This organism can be classified as obligate aerobes as they always need oxygen and do not possess the tendency to carry out the process of anaerobic respiration or fermentation under the absence of oxygenic environment.
Answer:
Something studied on the molecular level is the water.
Explanation:
Water is a molecule formed by two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, whose chemical representation is H₂O. It is a molecule whose polarity makes it a universal solvent of other polar molecules.
The molecular level corresponds to the level of organization where two or more atoms unite to form molecules or substances, united by chemical bonds. H₂O is studied at this level due to its chemical structure.
With respect to other options:
- <u><em>Hydrogen and oxygen</em></u><em> are atoms, and correspond to the level of atomic organization.</em>
- <u><em>Protons</em></u><em> are particles that are part of an atom, and correspond to the subatomic level.</em>
Answer:
D
Explanation:
So basically genes are made of DNA molecules. DNA molecules are the building blocks of genes.... if you think about legos for a second the building blocks of legos would be plastic right? because without plastic you don't have legos which is same here... genes are legos and DNA molecules are the plastic that make them (if you get my analogy).
So genes are the information carriers because they carry information on how to make a certain protein or express certain characteristics. Gene directs the cell to make certain proteins and proteins are the key players that are involved in many cellular process because they carry out major functions hence, the protein determine the function of cell because without protein the cell would have no function
The bell shaped curve indicates polygenic traits. A polygenic trait is controlled by multiple alleles. Hope this makes sense :)
