Answer:

The correct answer to the question is: 1) free in the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

  • Ribosomes are responsible for synthesising polypeptide chains by the process of translation from mRNA or messenger Ribonucleic Acid.
  • They are found free in the cytoplasm or remain bound to the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) to form the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum (RER).
  • The cytoplasmic proteins are synthesised by the free ribosomes.
  • The membrane proteins, secretory proteins and the organelle specific proteins are synthesised by the Ribosomes located on the Endoplasmic Reticulum.
  • This is because these proteins need to be translocated to the target organs through vesicles that buds out of the ER and and the Golgi bodies.
  • As the luciferase polypeptide is located in the cytoplasm, it is synthesised by the free ribosomes present in the cytoplasm.

The biodiversity of cultivated crops is currently under threat from industrial
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

The wastes or run off of the industrial farming enters the water and nearby cultivated crops, this waste consist of chemicals and pesticides mostly, that are the cause of destruction of not only the cultivated crops but also the useful soil-borne rhizoshpere bacteria too. On the other hand climate change impacting from emission of greenhouse gases, increase air pollution and also cause deforestation. Such circumstances could all lead to the extinction of important crops.

In order to avoid these problems, proper waste management systems should be developed to dispose the waste of industries and others at area that is far from the population or cultivation. The climate change resulting from the pollution could be avoided by the use of filtered products for the smokes, so that filter could absorb harmful substances and the smoke released in air would not be that much toxic. Moreover, there is the need to identify and grow such crops that can adapt these environmental changes.

If there was a fungicide that killed all fungi, make a prediction on how that would affect the ecosystem and eventually us human
marishachu [46]
Fungi is what decomposes things and puts nitrogen back into the ground. without the fungi plants would soon begin to run out of the nutrients they need. lack in vegetation would soon form. animals would then start to die of or migrate to different locations. so eventually you would begin to see less food and more wildlife in town because of the food shortage.
