A large agricultural chemical company is testing a new experimental pesticide. An unfortunate side effect in plants treated with

this new product is a decrease in NADPH production in the chloroplasts. (Interestingly, reduction of NAD+ to NADH in the mitochondria is unaffected.) Given this observation, which of the answer choices would you expect to observe in the chloroplasts of these plants?
a. Increase in 3.phosphoglycerate levels and a decrease in RuBP levels
b. a decrease in 3.phosphoglycerate levels and an increase in RuBP levels
c. an increase in glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate levels
d. an increase in 3-phosphoglycerate levels and an increase in RuBP levels

Answer:

The correct answer is a increase in 3-phosphoglycerate levels and a decrease in RUBP levels.

Explanation:

NADPH is a reducing equivalent that is produced during light reaction of photosynthesis.The NADPH that is produced during light react is utilized in the dark reaction.

  A decrease NADPH formation in the chroloplast will in turn decrease the formation of PGALD from phosphoglyceric acid(PGA).Some PGALD are used in the regeneration of ribulose bis phosphate(RUBP).

  From this point of view it can be stated that decrease in NADPH level decreases PGALD level which in turn decreases RUBP levels.

  As NADPH production is decreased in the chloroplast more phophoglyceric acid or 3-phosphoglycerate will accumulate thus the cellular level of PGA is increased.

Calculate the average rate of change in corn yield from 1964 to 2008 (Round to the nearest whole number.)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

In 1964 2.6 bales per hectare while in 2008, 380 bushels per hectare.

Explanation:

in 1964, the average corn yield was 2.6 bales per hectare which is equals to 570 kg per hectare while in 2008, the average yield of corn was 380 bushels per hectare which is equals to 9655 kg per hectare. This increase in the productivity of corn crop is due to advancement of technology, high yielding seed varieties and reduces post harvest losses. The yield of 2008 is 17 times higher than 1964.

Which of the following is an important exception to the central dogma of molecular biology? a) Proteins are responsible for most
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

b: many genes code for RNAs that function directly in the cell

Explanation:

<em>The central dogma</em> theory describes the basic framework for gene expression in living organisms. Genetic information from DNA is encoded or transcribed as RNA which then becomes translated as proteins.

The processes that take place for gene to be successfully expressed are;

  • Replication
  • Transcription
  • Translation

<em>Replication</em> is a process whereby DNA makes a copy of itself to be distributed in daughter cells during cell division.

<em>Transcription</em> is the process whereby genetic information in DNA is encoded as RNAs. The RNAs are short-lived as they are quickly utilized in protein synthesis or <em>translation </em>process.

Hence, the RNAs do not function directly in the cells but mere intermediaries in the synthesis of proteins.

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

kotykmax [81]
Answer;
The process of respiration is essential in the oxygen/carbon dioxide cycle. Respiration removes oxygen from the atmosphere and produces and releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. 

Explanation; 
Respiration is one of the natural process that adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and at the same time remove or decrease the amount of oxygen. 
Both plants and animals use respiration process to generate energy in form of ATP that is needed for basic functions such a growth and movement. During this process, nutrients such as glucose are combined with oxygen to yield energy in form of ATP, and also water and carbon dioxide as by-products. 
Unlike photosynthesis, which uses carbon dioxide and water to yield nutrients (simple sugars) and oxygen gas, respiration uses oxygen and nutrients, to yield carbon dioxide and water, we can therefore they are antagonistic processes.

If we consider the challenges posed by the Great Plate Count Anomaly, what is the primary advantage of using culture independent
nordsb [41]

Culture independent techniques is simply the use of methods in microbiology that are not based on or relies on cultivation inorder to study a microorganism in a defined ecosystem.

Independent based techniques offer a variety of advantages over the culture dependent methods.

The primary advantage of using culture independent techniques in microbiology is that culture independent techniques has the ability to identify or point out a large proportion of the microbial diversity readily and that identification on a normal state will be difficult to be observed using culture based studies or culture independent techniques.
