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.

In most cells, there are electrochemical gradients of many ions across the plasma membrane even though there are usually only on

devlian [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, cotransport proteins.

Explanation:

The variable that possesses the tendency to mediate energy based on chemical potential is termed as an electrochemical gradient. The electrochemical gradient is differentiated into two parts, that is, electrical gradient and chemical gradient. Both these forms of gradient take place over the surface of a membrane.

The movement of the majority of the ions takes place by the phenomenon of electrochemical gradients, of which some are found on the surface of the membrane and function as electrogenic pumps. While the gradients of some of the ions are mostly accounted for by the co-transport proteins, as these proteins take part in the movement of ions or molecules through a plasma membrane that involves concentration gradient based on the kind of molecules and movement.

If a diploid sperm fertilized a diploid egg what would the result be

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Triploid egg

Explanation:

Triploid, with three copies of each chromosome. When a diploid sperm fertilizes a haploid egg cell it causes a triploid zygote, which leads to the chromosomalabnormalities in the zygote.

Briefly explain why experiments having faulty design or inconsistent data are problems for scientists. List several reasons.

son4ous [18]

Experiments with faulty design or inconsistent data:
-decreases the experiment's reliability and validity
- wastes time and resources
- destroys the scientist's credibility in their field
- may lead to issues of safety to the experimenter/s due to faulty design
- is discouraged especially in hard sciences where data obtained should be accurate and precise
Explanation:
There are many reasons that experiments with faulty styles or with incorrect knowledge are problematic for scientists. One reason for them to be problematic is that if he or she were to poorly live what they're learning. as an example, somebody measured the mass of a book properly to be two pounds, and somebody else measured it erroneously to be one pound. differently, that faulty designed experiments and inconsistent knowledge will be problematic is lack of accuracy and exactness.
