Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, however, it will be answered BROADLY so the it can be understood enough to select the correct answer.

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Cells perform different functions and look differently because of the process of CELL DIFFERENTIATION. All cells arise from a single stem cell, which then gradually differentiates into different types of cells with different functions, as they divide.

At the molecular level, these different types of cells contain the same DNA sequence as rightly stated in the question. However, they look and perform differently because some of the genes are turned on while the others are turned off via the process of GENE EXPRESSION.

Therefore, a blood cell and skin cell possess exactly the same DNA sequence but look different and perform different functions because of CELL DIFFERENTIATION in which some genes on the DNA sequence are expressed and others are repressed. For example, in the blood cell; the genes coding for certain proteins found in blood are expressed while every other gene is silenced or inhibited. This allows those cells to perform only blood-related functions.

Proton pumps are used in various ways by members of every domain of organisms: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. What does this mo
evablogger [386]

Answer:

The correct answer is A and D

Explanation:

According to Russell's conception that lies in natural proton gradients. He states that Four billion years ago, alkaline fluids bubbled to produce mildly acidic oceans (As CO2 levels were about a thousand times higher, and it reacts with H2O to form carbonic acid, rendering the oceans mildly acidic). Acidity is just a measure of proton concentration,  higher in the oceans than in vent fluids. This difference has given rise to a natural proton gradient across the vent membranes that had the same polarity (outside positive) which is similar to the electrochemical potential as modern cells have. This might be the reason that last universal common ancestors of all the three domains have evolved proton pumps.

11) In C3 photosynthesis, the reactions that require ATP take place in A) the light reactions alone. B) the Calvin cycle alone.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

In C3 photosynthesis, the reactions that require ATP take place in

B) the Calvin cycle alone.

Explanation:

In C3 PLANTS PHOTOSYNTHESIS OCCUR IN TWO STEPS-

1. LIGHT stage , WHICH TAKES PLACE IN LIGHT. In this stage water is split and ATP is released.

2. DARK stage, which takes place in dark. This the stage where calvin cycle takes place which require ATP, i.e energy. In this process sugar is produced with help of carbon dioxide. In this carbon dioxide is accepted by 5- carbon molecule ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate, which result into two molecules of 3- phosphoglycerate. this three carbon compound. hence is called as C3 pathway. hence C3 plants.

Mariana [72]

Answer:

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

Explanation:

Below is the full question:

Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.

What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?

A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.

B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.

C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.

D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.

E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

The most efficient region of white light for photosynthesis has been found to be the blue and red region of the white light. Hence, these two regions must have had the most oxygen being released because they are the regions with the highest rates of photosynthesis.

<em>Aerobic bacteria thrived better in the regions illuminated by red and blue light because these regions had the highest oxygen production as a result of having the highest rates of photosynthesis.</em>

<em>The correct option is C.</em>
