<u>Answer:</u>

The living things are characterized by seven factors which includes movement, metabolism, respiration, sensitivity, growth, Excretion, nutrition and reproduction. The characteristics which indicates life in given items are as follows:

1. A candle flame: When we light the candle, the size of the flame is small and it grows as the wax melts.

2. Balloon floating in the air: As the balloon is floating it shows movement.

3. Bubbles blown from a bubble wand: It shows growth as well as movement.

The characteristic that shows that they are not alive include none of the three items performs excretion, metabolism and they are not made up of cell.

Explosions can occur when electricity ignites explosive gases in the air, such as pure oxygen, methane, or natural gas. true or
victus00 [196]

Answer: True

Explosions due to electricity occurs due the passage of electrical current into air, this results in the transfer of energy from electricity to air. Electrical energy   being a stimuli activates the molecules of air which leads to explosion. An explosion is a rapid event which involves release of energy in the form of gases and also destruction of surrounding entities. For explosion suitable fuel and combustion gases are required. Methane and natural gases acts as fuels whereas oxygen which facilitates combustion of these fuels.

In the lab, you isolate a chlorella mutant that is unable to switch xanthophyll pigments into the inactive, non-heat-dissipating
REY [17]

Answer:

No, because xanthophyll dissipates absorbed light as heat, and in low light environments, such dissipation would decrease photosynthesis and therefore growth.

Explanation:

Xanthophyll is one of the accessory pigments present in organisms. Being an accessory pigment, the function of xanthophyll is to dissipate the absorbed visible light. Since it dissipates the visible light, the light cannot be used by Chlorella to drive the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

When a mutant Chlorella is grown in the shady region, the dissipation of light by xanthophyll would further reduce the rate of photosynthesis. This mutation is not an adaptive feature in shady regions where the rate of photosynthesis is already lower due to limited availability of light and therefore, would not be favored by natural selection and would not spread to the future generations.

Why are G-protein coupled receptors often known as 7TM receptors? A. They have 7 transmembrane β-pleated sheets. B. They have 7
Nataliya [291]

Answer: B

Explanation:

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven-(pass)-transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, serpentine receptor, and G protein–linked receptors (GPLR),comprises of a large protein family of receptors that discover molecules outside the cell and initiate internal signal transduction pathways and, eventually, cellular responses. They are called seven-transmembrane receptors because they pass through the cell membrane seven times

Using the images or terms, describe how parts of a cell interact to export proteins.
tino4ka555 [31]
A protein is a large sequence of amino acid that was translated in ribosomes (or rough endoplasmic reticulum) from a mRNA that was transcribed in the nucleus from DNA.
If the protein has an extracellular function (like immunoglobulin) if should be exocytosed from the cell. 
The protein in the cell is driven to the membrane into vesicles that have a specific receptor, which allows, while in contact with the inner side of the cell membrane to open it and let the protein being transported in the extracellular medium.

The rate of O2 production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour
kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Yes, the light reactions also depend upon the Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle refers to a phenomenon that is used by the plants and algae to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugar, the food needed by the autotrophs in order to grow. The plants rely upon the Calvin cycle for food and energy.  

In the given case, the rate of oxygen production would get diminish as the rate of ATP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes. Of all the outcomes of the Calvin cycle, ADP and NADP+ are the only ones that get utilized by light reactions.  

The ADP and NADP+ are used up by the light reactions to fuel their reactions. This illustrates that if the rate of ADP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes the production of oxygen by the light reactions also diminishes.
