For the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP + Pi, the free-energy change is 7.3 kcal/mol under standard conditions (1 M concentration of bo

th reactants and products). In the cellular environment, however, the free-energy change is about 13 kcal/mol. What can we conclude about the free-energy change for the formation of ATP from ADP and i under cellular conditions?

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the free energy change will be +13 kcal/mol.

Explanation:

The free energy change of a chemical reaction is the measure of the spontaneity of the reaction in which the negative value of free energy represents that reaction is exergonic while positive value represents that reaction is endergonic.

In the given question, if the free-energy change is 13 kcal/mol for the hydrolysis of ATP to ADP + Pi which releases energy used by the cells then reversal of the reaction that is the formation of ATP molecules from the ADP and Pi requires energy which will be the same energy required to break the ATP.

This shows that 13kcal/mol energy will be used but with a positive sign as the energy is needed or the reaction is endergonic.

A. Hormones act as signal molecules between all body systems

Peripheral Chemoreceptors (Carotid + Aortic Bodies) and Central Chemoreceptors in the Medulla Oblongata detect high Carbon Dioxide levels in the blood during exercise. The respiratory centre in the Medulla Oblongata + PONS stimulate the intercostal muscles and the diphragm to contract in order to increase the rate and depth of breathing as to decrease levels of Carbon dioxide in the blood.

The body temperature of the mammal will be higher than that of the reptile. this is because the mammal body temperature does not depend on its environmental temperature while a reptile does not have a stable body temperature and depend on the temperature of its environment.

Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Slide A, plant cells; Slide B, animal cells

Explanation:

The slide A has some organelles that are unique to plant cells, and are mostly found in plant cells. Organelles such as a cell wall and chloroplasts are unique features of plant cells. They are normally absent in animal cells.

Therefore, slide A, which has these cell organelles can be rightly labelled as "plant cells", while side B, which has these organelles missing, can be labelled as "animal cells".

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The statement that best explains the mechanisms of inheritance of gene "The allele for blue is an X-linked dominant allele because there are no blue male offspring in cross 2."

Explanation:

The mechanism for inheritance of gene is the condition, in which the mutation when happens in one allele and cause the effect in the relevant phenotype. Similar inheritance will also be seen when the mutated allele will produce new type of the protein which will have deletorious effect on the normal function of the cell. In case of the single gene, autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X- linked recessive and mitochondrial are modes of inheritance.
