Final answer:
Complex I, or NADH dehydrogenase, of the electron transport chain pumps four protons into the intermembrane space for every two electrons it receives from NADH.
Explanation:
Complex I, also known as NADH dehydrogenase, is a crucial component of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. Its role is to transfer electrons from NADH to coenzyme Q (ubiquinone), facilitating the conversion of ubiquinone to ubiquinol. Through the process of electron transfer, Complex I is able to pump protons from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space, thus contributing to the proton gradient used for ATP synthesis.
Importantly, Complex I is responsible for the translocation of four protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane for every two electrons it receives from NADH. This active transport of protons is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of the proton motive force that drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.
Select the phrases that accurately describe properties of the most common form of the DNA double helix. a. The phosphodiester bonds between nucleotide residues run in opposite directions in the two strands. b. The sugar–phosphate backbone is exposed to the solvent, whereas the nitrogenous bases are in the interior of the double helix. c. Base pairs have a spacing of . d. A helical turn consists of about . e. DNA contains equal amounts of adenine and guanine (the purines) and equal amounts of cytosine and thymine (the pyrimidines).
The sugar and phosphate bond is placed outward of the DNA towards the solvent and the base of nitrogen is inside the helix.
Explanation:
The edges that are outward to the double helix formation of DNA are composed by sugar and phosphate molecules and make the backbone.
These two strands of DNA is placed in the opposite direction from the helix. But the nitrogen base is there inside the helix. It shapes like a ladder rung because of the hydrogen bond. This bond keeps the backbone held together.
Increasing substrate concentration restores enzyme activity that has been blocked by ____(A) a noncompetitive inhibitor only.(B) neither a competitive nor a noncompetitive inhibitor.(C) both a competitive and a noncompetitive inhibitor.(D) a competitive inhibitor only.
Answer: Option D
Explanation: The structure of a competitive inhibitor resembles that of the substrate. It may thus combine with the enzyme to form enzyme-inhibitor (EI) complex rather than enzyme-substrate (ES) complex . However, increasing the substrate concentration and keeping the inhibitor concentration constant restores enzyme activity: as the active site releases the bound inhibitor to bind with the substrate.
I hope this helps
Increasing substrate concentration can only restore enzyme activity blocked by a competitive inhibitor, as this type of inhibition is reversible and concentration-dependent. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to a different site and are not influenced by substrate concentration.
Explanation:Increasing substrate concentration restores enzyme activity that has been blocked by (D) a competitive inhibitor only. A competitive inhibitor binds reversibly to the enzyme's active site, competing with the substrate. Since both the substrate and inhibitor are competing for the same site, the presence of more substrate increases the chance that the substrate will bind instead of the inhibitor. This competition is concentration-dependent, and inhibition can be completely reversed by sufficiently increasing the substrate concentration.
On the other hand, a noncompetitive inhibitor binds to a different site on the enzyme, causing a conformational change that affects the active site and hence enzyme activity. Substrate concentration increases do not affect the binding of a noncompetitive inhibitor, so enzyme activity is not restored by increasing substrate concentration in the presence of a noncompetitive inhibitor.
The characters of "seed color" and "seed shape" showed independent assortment in Mendel's experiments because
A. the genes for these two characters were very close together on the same chromosome
B. these two characters were the product of the same gene
C. the genes for these two characters were on different chromosomes
D. the genes for both characters were sex-linked
E. either answer A or B could be correct
Answer:
C. the genes for these two characters were on different chromosomes
Explanation:
Mendel conducted several experiments with peas to demonstrate the mechanisms of heredity. He decided to use peas because they self-fertilize, have a short life cycle, are easily grown and produce large numbers of offspring. Peas, in addition to the advantages already mentioned, have simple characteristics to observe, such as the color and shape of the seed. Mendel analyzed seven of these characteristics that had no intermediates: seed texture, seed color, seed coat color, pod shape, pod color, flower position, and plant height.
Through his study, Mendel concluded that the characters "seed color" and "seed shape" showed an independent variety. This is because the genes related to these two traits are distant from each other in the chromosome and therefore have no dependence between them.

Which of the following indicates that a muscle fiber is relaxed?
ATP molecules are bound to the heads of the myosin filaments.
Myosin heads are attached to actin filaments, forming cross bridges.
Calcium ions are bound to troponin, causing the protein to change shape.
Z lines are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere.
ATP molecules are bound to the heads of the myosin filaments
In relaxed form of the sarcomere, ATP is bound to its site on the myosin heads. It is when the ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi that the mysoin forms a cross ridge with the actin fiber. Upon hydrolysis the ADP + Pi exits the site and another ATP binds. This again causes the myosin head to disengage the actin fiber and the cycle is repeated.
Explanation:
During contraction of muscle calcium ions are usually released from their sarcoplasmic reticulum where they bind to troponin enabling tropomyosin to be exposed such that myosin can bind. Contraction of sarcomere causes the z lines to move closer together.

Which of the following statements about PCR is/are FALSE? There may be more than one correct answer.
A) PCR reactions contain DNA template, primers, deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates, and heat- resistant DNA polymerase
B) Each PCR cycle includes three steps: denaturation, annealing, and extension
C) After each PCR cycle, the amount of DNA increases in a linear manner
D) One limitation of PCR is that it requires prior knowledge of the sequence to be amplified
E) PCR is a very sensitive technique and can amplify target sequences present in extremely low copy number
F) The single-stranded DNA primers must anneal to opposite strands of template DNA at distant sites, with their 5′ ends directed toward each other
Answer: The answer is C
Explanation:
After each PCR cycle, the amount of DNA does not increase in a linear manner
Final answer:
The false statements about PCR are C) DNA increases linearly after each cycle, and F) primers must anneal at distant sites with 5' ends facing. In PCR, DNA increases exponentially, and primers anneal close to the target with 3' ends facing.
Explanation:
The student has asked which statements about Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are false. The false statements are:
C) After each PCR cycle, the amount of DNA increases in a linear manner
F) The single-stranded DNA primers must anneal to opposite strands of template DNA at distant sites, with their 5′ ends directed toward each other
Statement C is false because the amount of DNA increases exponentially after each PCR cycle, not linearly. Each cycle doubles the amount of DNA being amplified. Statement F is also incorrect; the primers anneal to opposite strands of the template DNA at specific sites close to the target sequence, and they are oriented with their 3′ ends facing each other, not their 5′ ends.
PCR involves a cyclic process of denaturation, annealing, and extension which results in the exponential increase of the DNA target sequence. Heat-resistant DNA polymerase, such as Taq polymerase, is used for its ability to withstand the high temperatures needed for denaturation.
A child was in a diving accident. When brought into the emergency room, the doctor used sharp and blunt objects to determine if there was any sensation on the bottom of the foot and the lateral aspect of their palm. The child stated they could not feel the stimulus in either area. What nerves were most likely damaged?
Answer:
S1 and S3
Explanation:
The spine is composed of 33 vertebrae and has 31 pairs of nerves that are distributed throughout the body in an organized manner. Each nerve that leaves the spine is responsible for imparting sensitivity and strength to a particular area of the body, so whenever there is a compression or cut of a nerve, a particular area of the body is compromised.
When a person has a feeling of numbness in the foot, as shown in the above question, it is more likely that there is a change in the spine, specifically in the nerves S1 and S3. This is because nerve S1 is responsible for eversion of the foot, while nerve S3 is responsible for the intrinsic muscles of the foot.
It has been observed that cancer cells take in much more glucose than normal cells. In fact, labeled glucose can be used to detect cancerous tumors through PET scans. Explain the changes in the metabolism of cancer cells that cause them to use so much glucose. Include the following terms in your answer: flux, regulation, ATP, and oxygen.
Answer:
Explanation:
Cancer cells are characterized by higher proliferation and replication of cells than normal cells. This causes a high demand for energy and nutrients. Cancer cells also thrive under hypoxic or low oxygen environment and they depend highly on glucose consumption for ATP production, that it, glycolysis is the main pathway for generating energy. Glucose transporters (GLUT's) are integral membrane proteins that mediate the flux of glucose in cells and have been implicated in cancer. For example GLUT2 has been found to be up-regulated in human carcinoma cells.

Choose all the correct options below:a. Defensinsb. Cytolytic T-cellsc. Activated macrophagesd. Perforinse. Lysozymef. Mucing. Stomach acidh. IgGi. gut microbiotaj. tight junctions of gastrointestinal epithelial layers
Defensins, lysozymes, mucin, stomach acid, gut microbiota, tight junctions of gastrointenstinal epithelial cells are the physical/chemical barriers to infection will the pathogen encounter en route to the intestine and once it reaches the intestine after eating lettuce contaminated with EHEC
Explanation:
The enterohemorrhagic strain of Escherichia coli (EHEC) grows in the intestines, produces the highly potent Shiga toxin. E.coli is a foodborne pathogen.
Innate immunity acts against the EHEC pathogens through physical and chemical barriers with certain non-specific responses.
Physical barriers include skin and mucous membrane. Chemical barriers include stomach acid, lysozyme, defensin.
Tight junctions are the watertight regions lining the gastrointestinal mucosal surface with tightly packed epithelial cells which prevent the flow of E. coli bacteria between the host compartments.
The mucous membranes covered with tight junctions secrete mucin and lysozyme.
Mucin blocks the pathogen’s ability to attach to the cell surfaces and thereby inhibits its invasion.
Lysozymes are mucosal enzymes which act against the pathogens trying to adhere to the gut epithelium.
Defensins are peptides that attack the cytoplasmic membrane of the pathogens and kill them
Stomach acid (HCl) reduces the pH of the gut and maintains an acidic environment, and thereby inhibits the entry of foodborne pathogens
Gut microbes are commensal organisms that aid immunity by:

(D) Global travel spreads pathogens more quickly than ever before.
(E) Most strains of Plasmodium falciparum are resistant to chloroquine.
Answer: Option A is false.
Malaria is a disease of human being.
Explanation:
Scientist suggested human beings might have caught malaria from chimpanzees and African gorilla.
Malaria is a life threatening disease caused by plasmodium falciparum, plasmodium vivax and other plaamodium species transmitted through the bites of female anopheles mosquito's that has lead to deaths of many people in past years. It is still a major pathogen of humans. According to world health organisation (WHO) in 2017, nearly half of the world was at risk of malaria. There was an estimated 219 cases in 87 countries of the world and an estimated deaths of 435000 of people in 2017.
Malaria can be cure and prevented
It can be cure by the administration of antimalarial drug which is arthemisin Based. It is important you consult your doctor for proper treatment.
Malarial can be prevented by using mosquito nets, using mosquito sprays in rooms to kill mosquito's, using mosquito repellants and keeping our environment tidy from the growth of mosquitoes.
Global travel spreading pathogens more quickly than ever before is False.
Global travel involves the movement of people from one place to another.
This has occurred from time immemorial and vaccination has helped reduce
its spread.
Vaccination and several tests results for contagious diseases are usually
done so as to prevent this occurrence which is why the spread of pathogens
being on the increase is false.
In this scenario also, malaria isn't spread through physical contact as it's not

The flower color of the Four-o'clock plant is determined by alleles of genes that demonstrate incomplete dominance. Heterozygotes have an intermediate phenotype of pink flowers while homozygous individuals have either red or white flowers. A plant with red flowers and a plant with red flowers are crossed. If 500 offspring were produced, what number of the F1 offspring would have pink flowers?
In a cross between two homozygous red Four-O'clock plants, all offspring would also be homozygous red. No pink flowered offspring a result of incomplete dominance, would be produced because there are no white alleles present in the parents.
Explanation:The question is about the inheritance pattern known as incomplete dominance in the Four-o'clock plant. In the case of the heterozygote self-cross, the genotypic ratio is 1CRCR:2 CRCW:1 CWCW, which equates to 1:2:1 for red:pink:white. If a homozygous red plant (CRCR) is crossed with another homozygous red plant (CRCR), all the offspring would be homozygous red (CRCR) because there are no alleles for white flowers (CWCW) in the parents. Therefore, no pink flowers (heterozygous CRCW), which derive from one red and one white allele, could be produced in this cross.

In a cross between two plants with red flowers, all F1 offspring would have red flowers due to incomplete dominance, resulting in no individuals with pink flowers among the 500 offspring produced.
In incomplete dominance, heterozygotes exhibit an intermediate phenotype between the homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive phenotypes.
In this case, crossing two plants with red flowers (homozygous dominant) would produce offspring with only red flowers. Therefore, no F1 offspring would have pink flowers.
Since both parent plants have red flowers, they would contribute the dominant allele for red flower color to all of their offspring. Consequently, all 500 F1 offspring would inherit the dominant allele for red flowers, resulting in no individuals with pink flowers.
Which statement regarding ATP is false? Compared with other phosphate‑containing compounds in biochemistry, ATP has a higher free energy than nearly all of the others. Most enzymes that use ATP bind it in a form complexed with Mg2+. ATP concentrations in a cell are usually much higher than the equilibrium concentration for ATP hydrolysis. ATP can act as a group donor in adenylylation reactions.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option- ATP concentrations in a cell are usually much higher than the equilibrium concentration for ATP hydrolysis
Explanation:
Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell as it provides energy during the metabolic reactions.
The study on the structure of ATP revealed that it contains ribose sugar attached with three phosphates group bonded to each other via two phosphoanhydride bonds.
The metabolic reaction usually uses Magnesium bonded ATP as Magnesium covers the negative charge of the triphosphate which allows the ATP to bind hydrophobic clefts of the active site.
The ATP also transfers the adenyl group to the nucleophile which helps generate the pyrophosphate.

Kathy has been an administrative assistant for many years and spends many hours per day using the computer keyboard. She has recently been complaining about a burning sensation in her middle finger that sometimes extends to her elbow. Her doctor gave her a splint to wear on her wrist to immobilize it while she types. What condition is he attempting to treat
Answer: The Doctor is treating her for Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It can be treated with Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and pain relief drugs
Explanation:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a disorder which is caused by the compression of the median nerve located in the wrist. As Kathy continually types on the keyboard the median nerve is being compressed for a longer time causing inflammation.
Carpal Tunnel is an area in the wrist where bones and ligaments create a small passage way for the median nerve. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is therefore caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The symptoms include feelings of numbness, tingling, burning sensation over the surface of the thumb, forefinger, middle finger, half of the ring finger some feel pains from the wrist up to the arm.
They can be treated with Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) and ibuprofen to treat the inflammation and for pain relief.
The doctor's use of a wrist splint to treat Kathy's symptoms is consistent with the management of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is caused by compression of the median nerve.
Explanation:The doctor is treating Kathy for symptoms that are indicative of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist. The use of a wrist splint aims to stabilize the wrist and minimize pressure on the nerve to relieve symptoms such as the burning sensation in Kathy's middle finger that extends to the elbow.
Contrasting this condition, tendinitis is another type of repetitive strain injury that could cause similar symptoms but has different treatment protocols, typically involving rest, icing, and anti-inflammatory medications. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its management often include using splints, corticosteroid injections, and surgery for more severe cases.

_______ are involved in determining continuously varying or multiple factor traits.
Answer:
Polygene
Explanation:
Continuous variation occurs because of the effect of the combination of many genes (polygenes) which and is called polygenic inheritance. So in polygenic inheritance, each gene or trait contributes to the character. In discontinuous variation mainly alleles of a single gene are involved.
Polygenic trait inheritance can be influenced by the environment for example in cows the milk yield is not only affected by genes but also by environmental factors like weather, diet, etc. Some other examples of continuous variation are height, weight, shoe size, etc.
So polygenes are involved in determining multiple factor traits or continuous variation.
During the second set of photosynthetic reactions, called the Calvin cycle, all BUT ONE of the following occurs. A) Glucose is the end product of the Calvin cycle. B) By-products of the Calvin cycle include water vapor and oxygen. C) Carbon dioxide, a reactant of photo synthesis, is utilized during the Calvin cycle. D) ATP and NADPH, high energy molecules, are utilized to produce stored chemical energy.
Explanation:
False: B) By-products of the Calvin cycle include water vapor and oxygen
Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen (from the light reaction) is released.
Further Explanation:
This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This begins in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.
The chloroplast is a membrane-bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.
Here, water is used as a reducing agent.
6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide + water + energy= glucose + oxygen
Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.
In the Calvin Cycle:
During the initial stage, three molecules of ribulose bisphosphate, RuBP are reduced and carbon is fixed from an inorganic CO2 to an organic form by the enzyme RuBisCO. With every molecule of CO2 fixed, 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid are produced. 3-PGA is a 3 carbon molecule with a phosphate attached. Next, NADPH and ATP facilitate the addition of electrons to or reduction of 6 molecules of 3PGA to 6 molecules of G3P (glyeraldehyde 3-phosphate). The process uses 6 molecules of ATP and 6 of NADPH, after which the conversion of NADPH and ATP to ADP and NADP+ occur; these are returned to the light dependent reactions. A molecule of G3P, goes to the cytoplasm from this cycle, to form other complex molecules. Fixing sufficient carbon for this G3P export requires 3 revolutions of the cycle. Since two molecules of G3P are made per revolution, 3 turns make 6 G3Ps; 5 of these are used to regenerate RuBP for further fixation.Thus... no [tex]H_{2} O[/tex] or [tex]O_{2}[/tex] are produced...
Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes the oxygen waste for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycoysis). The electron transport chain, in which oxygen functions as the terminal electron acceptor occurs in both plants and animals.

A mixture may be homogeneous (salt and water) or heterogeneous (sand and water). A homogeneous mixture of two or more compounds is termed as solution. It has a solute and a solvent. The 'solute' is the substance dissolved in the solvent. Both lose their primary physical properties.Which of the following is a correct statement?
Select one:
a. If you want to make a cDNA library, it doesn't matter which tissue you isolate the mRNA from.
b. If you want to make a genomic library, it doesn't matter which tissue you isolate the DNA from.
c. If you want to make a cDNA library, it doesn't matter which tissue you isolate the DNA from.
d. If you want to make a genomic library, it doesn't matter which tissue you isolate the mRNA from.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-B
Explanation:
cDNA library or complementary library is the DNA library constructed from the mRNA which is isolated from the specific tissue.
The genomic library is constructed from the genome sequence of the organism by cutting the gene of interest or the whole genome with a restriction endonuclease and then inserting it into the vectors.
Since the genomic library includes the whole genome which is same in every cell and tissue whereas the cDNA library contains the coding genes expressed in the specific tissue only therefore, Option-B is the correct answer.
The correct answer is 'if you want to make a genomic library, it doesn't matter which tissue you isolate the DNA from' because genomic DNA is constant across different tissues. However, for a cDNA library, tissue type matters as different tissues express different genes.
Explanation:The correct statement among these options is b. If you want to make a genomic library, it doesn't matter which tissue you isolate the DNA from. The reason for this is that genomic DNA is the complete DNA sequence of an organism, which means it is identical in all cells (except reproductive cells and some immune cells).
On the other hand, the cDNA library represents a collection of only the mRNA sequences that were active in the cell at the moment of extraction. Therefore, for the creation of a cDNA library, it does matter which tissue the mRNA is isolated from because different tissues express different genes.

Which of the following is true when describing the permissive effect of a hormone?a) a permissive hormone can cancel out the effect of another hormoneb) this means that two hormones have a greater effect than just onec) the hormone can act alone when having an effect on a tissued) is usually the result of a second hormone's exposure on target cells
Answer:
The correct answer is d) is usually the result of a second hormone's exposure on target cells
Explanation:
Permissiveness is described as the situation in which one hormone is not able to exert its full effect on the target cell and it requires the presence of another hormone to exert its full potential on the target cell.
Therefore the permissive effect is usually the result of the secondary hormone's presence or exposure on target cells. For example, thyroid hormone increases the effect of epinephrine on target cells by increasing its receptors on the target cell.
Without thyroid hormone, the epinephrine can not exert full effect on its target cell. Therefore the right answer is d.
Hormones mediate changes in target cells by binding to specific hormone receptors. The number of receptors that respond to a hormone determines the cell's sensitivity to that hormone. In the context of permissive effect, one hormone enhances the effect of another hormone.
Explanation:Hormones mediate changes in target cells by binding to specific hormone receptors. In this way, even though hormones circulate throughout the body and come into contact with many different cell types, they only affect cells that possess the necessary receptors. Receptors for a specific hormone may be found on many different cells or may be limited to a small number of specialized cells.
The number of receptors that respond to a hormone determines the cell's sensitivity to that hormone, and the resulting cellular response. Additionally, the number of receptors that respond to a hormone can change over time, resulting in increased or decreased cell sensitivity. In up-regulation, the number of receptors increases in response to rising hormone levels, making the cell more sensitive to the hormone and allowing for more cellular activity. When the number of receptors decreases in response to rising hormone levels, called down-regulation, cellular activity is reduced.
In the context of permissive effect, when one hormone has a permissive effect on another hormone, it means that the presence of the permissive hormone enhances the effect of the other hormone. It allows the other hormone to have a greater effect than it would have on its own. This is an example of the interaction between different hormones and their receptors in target cells.
