What is the specific function of a heterocyst cell of an Anabanea filament?

Biology

murzikaleks [220]3 years ago
3 0
Heterocyst-forming cyanobacteria differentiate highly specialized cells to provide fixed nitrogen to the vegetative cells in a filament. In the presence of a source of combined nitrogen such as nitrate or ammonium, Anabaena PCC 7120 grows as long filaments containing hundreds of photosynthetic vegetative cells.

Assuming that the average protein in E. coli consists of a chain of 380 amino acids, calculate the maximum number of proteins th
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

4210.5 proteins

Explanation:

(a)The amount of nucleotide pairs in the DNA molecule calculated using

=molecular weight of DNA/molecular weight of a single pair

molecular weight of DNA

= 3.1 × 10^9g/mol

molecular weight of a single pair

= 0.66 ×10^3g/mol

= (3.1 × 10^9g/mol)/(0.66 × 10^3g/mol)

= 4.7 10^6pairs

Lets, Multiply the number of pairs with the length per pair

Take, length per pair = 0.34 nm/pair

= (4.7 × 10^6pairs)(0.34 nm/pair)

= 1.6 × 10^6nm

= 1.6 mm

= (approx 2mm or 0.002 mm).

Therefore,

the DNA is

(1.6 mm)/(0.002 mm)

= 800

The DNA is 800 times times longer than the cell.

This indivates Tat DNA must be tightly coiled to fit into the cell.

(b) the amount of DNA molecule nucleotide pairs has given

= 4.7 × 10^6 nucleotide pairs,

From solution (a), there must be one-third this number of triplet codons

= (4.7 × 10^6)/3

= 1.6 × 10^6codons

If an individual protein has an average of 380 amino acids, each needs a codon,

the number of proteins that can be coded by E. coli DNA

= (1.6 × 10^6codons) × (1 amino acid/codon)

---------------------------------------------

(380 amino acids/protein)

= 4210.5 proteins

Here is the complete question

The genetic information contained in DNA consists of a linear sequence of coding units known as codons. Each codon consists of three adjacent DNA nucleotides that corresponto a single amino acid in a protien.

The E.coli DNA molecule contains 4.70 x 10^6 base pairs. Determine the number of codons that can be present.

Assuming that the average protein in E.coli consists of a chain of 400 amino acids, calculate the maximum number of protiens that can be coded by an E.coli DNA molecule

The Hawaiian Islands are home to many endangered species. Why do you think the Hawaii Department of Agriculture is so strict abo
PtichkaEL [24]

The correct answer is C. It is so strict because a foreign species could compete with a native species and drive it to extinction.

The Hawaiian islands are one of the geographical isolated islands which faces the problem of the invasive species affecting the biodiversity of the island negatively.

The foreign species is equipped better to survive in the Hawaiian habitat and competes with the native species for the resources and food. The interaction and competition of the foreign species in the Hawaiian environment and habitat limits the resources for native species which increases the chance of the native species getting endangered.

The Hawaii Invasive Species Council along with other bodies such as department of agriculture, department of business and economic development, private and other government and non-government bodies have taken initiatives towards eradication of invasive species by strict laws.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the state in which an organism maintains its internal conditions so it can function properly. If homeostasis fails, diseases appear.

In order to maintain homeostasis, there are many conditions that are regulated regularly, from <u>body temperature to pH, and fluid balance</u>. For homeostasis to be maintained, different systems participate in the regulation of these conditions.

The example provided in the question is a process performed by many structures in different organs that help regulate the concentration of fluids.
