1)When a phosphate is transferred from ATP, it can phosphorylate another molecule. How could this assist in allowing a protein t

o transport molecules against their concentration gradient?
2)What is it about the structure of ATP that contributes to its ability to act as an energy currency?

Answer/Explanation:

1) When phosphate is transferred from ATP, (which forms ADP and releases energy) it can phosphorylate another molecule. When this molecule is phosphorylated. It could become "energized" as it enters a higher energy state.

In this higher energy state, the protein has the energy to transfer molecules against a concentration gradient, which is an active process (requires energy).

2) Adenosine triphosphate contains three phosphate groups. The phosphate bonds are high energy. When ATP is hydrolyzed (water is added), these high energy phosphate bonds are broken and energy is released. This forms adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

Your assignment in biology lab is to design an experiment that would detect whether a substance is breaking down, or digesting,
Elis [28]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: First we should understand the role of enzyme and acid here. Pepsin is an enzyme which will break down proteins into simple monomers (like amino acids). And, acid causes digestion which means it will break down the protein into its respective elements and compounds. Water will act as a control in this experiment.

Option B is correct because it has all three criteria-                                                                                   1. Control [water + protein]                                                                                                               2. With enzyme [egg white + pepsin]                                                                                           3. With acid and enzyme

So this will give us an idea whether pepsin alone is breaking down the protein or digesting it. And there would be difference in test tube B and C. So this will clear the difference.

Option A is incorrect because it has not mentioned any different test tube for checking what happened with the protein. And, Option C is incorrect because mass of egg white will remain same after digestion also.

In fruit flies, straight wings are dominant and curly wings are recessive. What will the generations look like? Assume that Mend
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The P generation has straight wings and curly wings.

The F1 generation has all straight wings.

The F2 generation has straight wings and curly wings.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for wing shape in fruit flies. The allele for straight wings (S) is dominant over the allele for curly wings (s). This means that allele "S" will mask the phenotypic expression of allele "s" in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, the cross follows all Mendel's method of crossing two true breeding parents with opposite traits. Hence, the parent generation (P generation) will be between a truebreeding straight wings parent (SS) and a truebreeding curly wings parent (ss). (See attached image for full cross).

Since the straight wing allele (S) is dominant, all the F1 offsprings  will possess straight wings with the genotype: Ss, which is heterozygous.

If this F1 offsprings are self-crossed i.e. Ss × Ss, four possible offsprings in the phenotypic ratio 3 straight wings : 1 curly wing will be produced in the F2 generation. The offsprings will possess the following genotypes: SS, Ss, Ss, and ss.

Offsprings SS, Ss, and Ss will all be phenotypically straight-winged

Offsprings ss will be phenotypically curly-winged.

In overall, this means that P generation has both straight and curly wings (SS and ss), F1 generation has only straight wings (Ss), F2 generation has both straight and curly wings (SS, Ss and ss).

Organisms living in the deep bathypelagic and abyssopelagic zones require oxygen for respiration. What process brings oxygen fro
alekssr [168]

The correct answer is upwelling from equatorial to Polar Regions results in bringing oxygen from the epipelagic zone to deeper oceanic zones.  

It is a process in which the wind mediated motion of nutrient-rich, dense, and cooler water is moved towards the surface substituting the nutrient depleted and warmer surface water. The epipelagic zone refers to the upper layer of the ocean, which is abundant in oxygen and gets the majority of the sunlight for the procedure of photosynthesis. The upwelling of water from the equatorial to the polar region brings oxygen.
