The right answer is A: Enzyme activity decreases at these temperatures

Temperature influences the activity of the enzymes responsible for assisting with chemical reactions in the Calvin cycle. When temperatures are low, enzyme activity is slow. As temperatures increase, the activity of the enzymes that assist in these chemical reactions also increases to a certain extent, which is the optimal response to temperature. It is at this point that the rate of photosynthesis of plants is the highest.

As the temperature continues to rise beyond this point, the enzyme activity decreases until photosynthesis stops. It is important to remember that the rate of photosynthesis in C3 plants is higher in cold conditions, whereas it is the opposite in C4 plants.

Which statement about DNA replication is FALSE?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

C. DNA ligase adds nucleotides to the lagging strand

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process during cell division in which DNA copies itself. DNA strands unwind with the help of helicase to initiate the process. DNA Polymerase III is responsible for prokaryotic replication and adds nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction. Since both the strands of DNA run in opposite direction their replication is slightly different. The lagging strand is also formed by DNA Polymerase III in discontinuous manner leading to formation of Okazaki fragments. DNA ligase joins these fragments once the replication process is completed.

How does the concentration of salt in water affect the rate of osmosis?

Nata [24]

The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.
Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.

Trace the flow of energy through a typical food chain (describing "what eats what"), including the original source of that energ

slava [35]

You need to draw a food chain starting with something small like bacteria and and getting back around the loop to bacteria again( explaining what the the previous organism does to the next for example it eats it). Then you need to underline the organisms/animals. Then write in bold the way it got the energy from the previous one( for example if it eats it )
