Ethylene causes fruits to ripen. In a signaling pathway, receptors activate transcription factors, which ultimately leads to rip

ening. Which of the following best supports the claim that ethylene initiates the signal transduction pathway that leads to ripening of fruit?A) Ethylene is a simple gaseous molecule, which makes it easily detected by receptors.B) Fruit will ripen in closed containers without exposure to air.C) Ethylene synthesis is under both positive and negative feedback regulationD) Loss-of-function mutations in ethylene receptors result in changes to the ripening process.

Answer:

Letter D

Explanation:

The process that initiates the ripening of some fruits is initially caused by the elimination of the gas ethylene, which is one of plants hormones that can act as growth regulators. Ethylene is the responsible to activate a transduction pathway after it goes on the membrane of the cells and reaches its receptors, causing the transcription of ethylene responsive genes, and therefore ripening. Loss-of-function mutations on those receptors of the ethylene molecule will end the activation of transcription of those responsive genes, because without the functioning receptor, ethylene cannot interact, so the ripening won't happen.

Describe how nitrogen in proteins in dead leaves is recycled to be absorbed by plants? Please help!
Reptile [31]

Answer:

stages of the nitrogen cycle

1. Nitrogen-fixation

Legume plants such as peas, beans and clover contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These bacteria live in swellings in the plant roots called nodules. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria convert nitrogen gas from air into a form that plants can use to make proteins.

Free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria are also found in the soil. When they die the nitrogen they have fixed into their biomass is converted into ammonium.

2. Feeding

Animals consume plant protein, digest it using specific enzymes and absorb the free amino acids.

3. Production of nitrogenous waste products

Animals cannot store excess protein in their bodies. They break it down and turn it into waste products and excrete them from their bodies.

4. Decomposition

Decomposers (some free-living bacteria and fungi) break down animal and plant proteins (from dead organisms) and nitrogenous waste products to release energy. As a result of decomposition nitrogen is released into the soil in the form of ammonium.

5. Nitrification

A group of free-living soil bacteria called nitrifying bacteria convert ammonium into nitrates in order to obtain energy.

6. Uptake of nitrates

Non-legume plants absorb nitrates from the soil into their roots and use the nitrates to produce their proteins.

7. Denitrification

This is when bacteria in the soil convert the nitrate back into nitrogen gas which then gets released back into the atmosphere.

mestny [16]

Answer:

The correct order would be:

A vaccine introduces a weakened flu virus into the body.

                                                        ↓

The immune system identifies antigens on the weakened flu virus.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are produced, which bind to the weakened flu virus and signal immune cells to destroy it.

                                                        ↓

The actual flu virus enters the body, and lymphocytes recognize the antigens.

                                                        ↓

Antibodies are quickly produced and allow the body to fight off the infection.

Vaccination or immunization is the process which helps in developing the immunity (adaptive) against a particular pathogen or microorganism.

It includes the administration of antigen, weakened or heat-killed microorganism (such as flu virus) into the patients body. Body's immune system produces naive B and T cells to eliminate the antigen.

This encounter enables the immune system to produce memory B and T cells against that particular pathogen.

In future, whenever the same antigen enters the body, the immune system gets activated quickly due to the presence of memory cells. It enables the body to produce more effective secondary response against the pathogen.
