Answer:

The correct answer is - 3 × 10⁻²

Explanation:

first find LKo = length of BDNA/ 10.5 bp/turn

= 4200/10.5

= 400

now calculate Δ LK= LK - LKo

ΔLK = 412-400

ΔLK = 12

now, superhelix density  = ΔLK/LKo

⇒ 12/400 = 0.03

= 3×10⁻²

Thus, the correct answer is - 3 × 10⁻²

A stream of water holds thriving bacteria. If drought conditions caused the stream to dry up, how would the bacteria mostly like
Alexeev081 [22]

The answer is they produce endospores.

Explanation:

The endospores are dormant, non-reproductive, tough bacterial spores that ensure the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions.

During the environmental stress, such as starvation, desiccation, radiation and chemical treatment many bacteria form dormant endospores. These endospores germinate again when the conditions become favorable.

Hence, if drought conditions lead the stream to dry up, the bacteria that live there would produce endospores to survive.

Which condition occurs in the presence of cellular damage? Cells shrink. ATP production increases. Osmotic pressure decreases. S
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

Sodium and water move into the cell

Explanation:

Sodium and water move into the cell. This is because

Cellular damage result in failure of the Na+/k+ pump, allowing movement of sodium ions into the cell. This concentration of sodium pulls water in, resulting in hydropic swelling. Cellular damage results in the cell's inability to perform normal metabolic functions because APT decreases and Osmotic finally pressure increases.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The correct answer that best fits the result of my investigation is Thermoregulation energy cannot be created or destroyed,it can only be transformed .Therefore if ATP is not generated from glucose and the energy is transformed into heat.

Explanation:

DNP or dinitrophenol act as uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation when means it prevents the coupling of electron transport chain to oxidative phosphorylation.As a result electron transport occurs resulting in the generation of energy but the so formed energy is utilized to generate rather than ATP formation.

Give one example of how the testing of Platismatia glauca could benefit future ecological research of this forest.
storchak [24]

Answer:

Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.

hope this helps:)
