Answer: E. the food chain will be disrupted

Explanation:

The chemical fertilizers are the chemicals which contain essential elements which are required by the plants but not always present in the soil used for growing the crops.

According to the given situation, excessive use of fertilizers likely to affect the food chain of the agricultural ecosystem. As these fertilizers will be added up to the food chain. These fertilizers can be poisonous for microbes which act as decomposers of organic matter present in the soil. Also some of the insects will also get affected by the toxic chemicals. The plants will absorb these toxic chemicals which will be transmitted to the insects, herbivorous animals and to the humans. Hence, the toxicity will affect the population size of the susceptible species.

Therefore, the entire food chain will be disrupted by this way.

Addition of a nucleotide onto a dna strand is an endergonic reaction. what provides the energy to drive the reaction?
Kruka [31]

The release of pyrophosphate from the incoming nucleotide, and then hydrolysis of the pyrophosphate to inorganic phosphate provides energy for the addition of nucleotide onto a DNA strand.

Nucleotides are linked together by a condensation event that yields a tiny, stable molecule. But the released molecule is pyrophosphate, not water. A good amount of free energy is released when water is added to pyrophosphate.

The high-energy link between the ejected beta and gamma phosphates stores the energy for each incoming nucleotide's addition. The subsequent hydrolysis that occurs drives the process. A substantially greater quantity of energy is released when two phosphates are separated into individual phosphates.

What is comet?define it properly ​
Kitty [74]

Answer:

A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, warms and begins to release gases, a process called outgassing. This produces a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail.

Explanation:

 a celestial object consisting of a nucleus of ice and dust and, when near the sun, a ‘tail’ of gas and dust particles pointing away from the sun.

Glucose, labeled with 14C in different carbon atoms, is added to a crude extract of a tissue rich in enzymes of the pentose phos
horsena [70]

Answer:

A. C-1

Explanation:

During the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose 6-phosphate is first converted into 6-phosphoglucono-lactone in the reaction catalyzed by glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The 6-phosphoglucono-lactone is then converted into 6-phospho-gluconate which in turn undergoes decarboxylation to form D-ribulose 5-phosphate and the C-1 of original glucose 6-phosphate is released in form of CO2.  

Therefore, to observe the most rapid production of labeled carbon atom in form of CO2, the C-1 of glucose should be labeled.
