Why is it important that living organisms not reach equilibrium in the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide?

Biology

Mashcka [7]1 year ago

Answer:

The living organisms must not reach equilibrium in the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide so that the Exchange of gases continues . Otherwise respiration and photosynthesis will stop.

Explanation:

  • Gases move along the concentration gradient i.e. from their higher concentration to lower concetration.
  • If living  organisms reach a equilibrium of carbon dioxide and oxygen concentration, then The gases will not move in and out of the cells.
  • This is because at state of equilibrium the concentration of gases on both side become equal and the movement completely ceases.
  • If gaseous exchange in the body stops the process of respiration and photosynthesis in Plants and respiration in animal will completely stop.

A mutant strain of yeast is able to produce 2 ATP for each glucose molecule digested in the absence of oxygen. What makes this s
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.

pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD

The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.

If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme.   <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.

Explain how to focus a microscope using the high-power lens. Include any safety issues you need to be aware of.
Lera25 [3.4K]
1)magnification goes by 10x (read 10 times), 100x,1000x and some goes 10,000x 

2)Always focus first using lowest power possible first, switch to medium power (100x) after it's focused on low power(10x), on 100x, use the small knob to focus it more. DO NOT touch the bigger nob when in medium or high power. Switch to high power (100x) when it is focused on medium power, again focus again using the small knob on high power. 

3) So it doesn't gather dust and fog up the lense? that one should be self explanatory

oksian1 [2.3K]

The process of cellular respiration is achieved in plants by the process of photosynthesis. The energy from glucose is derived in this process. The steps of the cellular respiration includes the glycolysis, the kreb's cycle, and the oxidative phosphorylation. During this process, the proton concentration builds in the thylakoid space of the plant cell.

A student draws a fence with several gate as part of a model of cellular transport explain what defence indicates represent blam
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The given question says that a student has constructed a model of cellular transport using fences and several gates.  

This model can be used to demonstrate the cellular transport.

The gates of the fences can be supposed as the protein pumps and the other fence demonstrates the lipid bilayer.  

Let’s suppose in the fence, there are many cattles, and outside, there are less cattles, but the student open the gate and bring more cattles inside the fence. In this case, the transport of the cattles is similar to the active transport of the molecules using protein pumps. At cellular level, the energy for the active transport is provided by ATP molecules.

Now, let’s say, the student wants to feed the cattles with some nutrition rich food, which can help in maintaining the health of the cattles. The student fills his car with the cattle food and he enters inside the fence through gates. In this case, the food was not present in the fence, but was abundant in the outside environment, so, the diffusion would occur. But food cannot come self, without help of others, so, the movement is facilitated by the car, as it is done by the carrier proteins. Hence, it is an example of facilitated diffusion.

Which statements in this passage about volcanoes do not contain factual errors?
belka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 2. "Scientists use seismometers to measure the earthquake activity that occurs beneath a volcano. They then predict the eruption of that volcano".

Explanation:

A seismometer is an equipment used by scientists to monitor ground's motion, including the earthquake activity that occurs beneath a volcano. These instruments are useful to predict if a volcanic eruption is imminent. By analyzing the length and strength of the ground's motion occurring during earthquake activity near a volcano, scientist could predict if an eruption is about to take place.
