In an experiment to investigate a factor affecting photosynthesis, a leaf of a potted plant which had been kept in the dark overnight was covered with aluminum foil as shown in the diagram below 1. Aluminium foil The set up was kept in sunlight for three hours after which a food test was carried out on the leaf. (a) Which factor was being investigated in the experiment? b) What food test was carried out? (i) State the results of the food test (ii) Account for the results in c (i) above​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthetic activity.

Explanation:

The photosynthetic activity of the plant was being investigated in the experiment and no photosynthesis will occur because the aluminium foil reflect 95% of sunlight. Starch test is the food test that was carried out in the experiment. Starch from plants is broken down into its constituent sugar molecules by the plant body in order to provide energy to the tissues so if there is no photosynthesis occurs, the plant body uses starch so decrease occur in the concentration of the starch molecules when the starch food test will occur.

Some of the smallest cells in the human body are red blood cells. They make up nearly half the volume of blood. A typical red blood cell is 8 µm across. The largest artery that blood flows through is the aorta, which is about 20 mm (2 cm) across. How many red blood cells would fit side-by-side across the aorta? Show your working.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]$1.6 \times 10^{-3}$[/tex]

Explanation:

Given data :

Size of a typical red blood cells = 8 µm

                                                     = 0.0008 cm

The size of the largest artery through which the blood flows, known as aorta

                                                     = 20 mm

                                                     = 2 cm

Thus the number of the red blood cells that would fit side by side across the aorta would be =   2 cm x 0.0008 cm

                          =    [tex]$1.6 \times 10^{-3}$[/tex]

How do temperature and concentration of monounsaturated phospholipids change the rate at which molecules permeate the plasma membrane?

Answers

Answer: At low temperatures the fluidity of the membrane decreases and it favors fluidity. The higher the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, the less tightly the phospholipids can bind and the more fluid (more permeable).

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a lipid layer that delimits the entire cell, dividing the extracellular medium from the intracellular (the cytoplasm of a cell). They are composed of phospholipids, which are molecules composed of glycerol, a phosphate group and two lipid chains (such as fatty acids). Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that functions as the backbone of this membrane. A geometry is formed that allows the phospholipids to line up side by side to form broad sheets. They are insoluble in water, but their unique geometry causes them to aggregate in layers without any energy input, as they possess a hydrophilic phosphate head and a hydrophobic tail consisting of the two fatty acid chains. The hydrophilic heads of the phospholipids in a bilayer membrane face outward and are in contact with the aqueous fluid inside and outside the cell. Because water is a polar molecule, it readily forms electrostatic (charge-based) interactions with the phospholipid heads.

Selective permeability is a property of the plasma membrane and other semipermeable membranes that allow only certain particles to pass through them. In this way, those particles that are needed by the cell can enter the cell and those that are not useful to the cell are prevented from entering. In the same way, the cell can eliminate the particles it has produced as waste. In this way, the entry and exit of substances through the membrane is regulated and the correct functioning of the cell is achieved.

For a particle to be able to cross the plasma membrane it must have a size equal to or smaller than the pores of the membrane, it must have the opposite charge to the charge of the membrane or simply have a neutral charge, and if it is larger than the pores it must be dissolved in a solution, decreasing its size and thus be able to enter the cell through the membrane.  

Plasma membranes are fluid and this fluidity depends on their lipid composition and temperature. Depending on the temperature, membrane lipids can be found in two different states or phases: gel (solid-like, with more rigid hydrocarbon chains) and liquid crystal (more fluid, with more mobile hydrocarbon chains). At low temperatures the fluidity of the membrane decreases and in these conditions the increase of its concentration favors fluidity. The temperature at which the transition from one state to the other occurs is the phase transition temperature (Tc). At values below Tc, the bilayer is in the gel state and at higher values it passes to the liquid crystal. It should be noted that there is an equilibrium between the gel state and the liquid crystal state and that the characteristics of the lipids of the bilayer condition the transition temperature. In the case of bilayers consisting of only one type of lipid, the Tc is well defined. But biological membranes are complex lipid mixtures and the transition from one state to another occurs over a range of temperatures. The presence of short-chain or unsaturated fatty acids reduces the transition temperature, while saturated fatty acids and the increase in the length of the hydrocarbon chains cause this temperature to rise. Then, phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind as tightly due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, a membrane of unsaturated phospholipids remains fluid at lower temperatures than a membrane of saturated phospholipids.  

The fluidity of a membrane is the ability of a molecule to move through it. In short, the higher the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids, the less tightly the phospholipids can bind and the more fluid (more permeable) the membrane will be even at low temperatures. However, at low temperatures the fluidity of the membrane decreases (lower permeability) but the effect will depend on the composition of the fatty acids. To determine the exact permeability, it is necessary to relate the concentration of unsaturated bonds and the length of the fatty acids in the phospholipids and the temperature.

A. strands I'd DNA wrapped around proteins.

Explanation:

DNA is securely packed within the nucleus by chromosomes, which are thread-like structures. Histone proteins offer structural support for DNA by coiling it around them. During cell division, chromosomes assist in the replication and distribution of DNA. Each chromosome has a centromere, which separates the p (short) and q (long) arms. The centromere is found at the constriction point of the chromosome, which may or may not be the center.

Answers

Answer:

The answers are:

carrier proteins → charged amino acid    

Carrier proteins are transmembrane proteins for the facilitated diffusion of charged amino acids across plasma membranes.

osmosis → water molecule

A type of passive transport, osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules in and out of cells.

active transport → calcium moves from low concentration to high concentration

This is the movement of substances across membranes against concentration gradient.

simple diffusion → oxygen

Oxygen molecules enter through membrane by simple diffusion from an area of high to low concentration.

exocytosis → proteins from the Golgi apparatus  

This process of exocytosis is used by cells to release particles that has been packaged by the golgi bodies.

Explanation: Boom

Carrier Proteins is Charged Amino Acid, Osmosis implies to Water Molecule, Active Transport - Calcium moves from low concentration to high concentration, Simple Diffusion - Oxygen, and Exocytosis - Protein from the Golgi Apparatus.

In assisted diffusion, a type of transport in which charged amino acids or other molecules bind to particular carrier proteins in order to traverse the cell membrane, carrier proteins are involved.

The passage of charged amino acids through the membrane is aided by this mechanism.

Osmosis is the flow of water molecules over a membrane that is selectively permeable, caused by variations in solute concentrations.

The movement of substances against a gradient of concentration, usually from a region of lower concentration to one of greater concentration, is referred to as active transport.

In this instance, calcium ions are actively moved utilising ATP energy from low concentration to high concentration areas.

Simple diffusion is the gradient-driven passive migration of molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Due to their small size and nonpolarity, oxygen molecules can freely diffuse through the cell membrane through simple diffusion.

Exocytosis is the process through which cells discharge big molecules, such proteins, to the exterior of the cell from the Golgi apparatus.

The proteins are contained in vesicles that join the cell membrane and discharge their contents outside of the body.

Thus, charged amino acid transport is facilitated by carrier proteins, water molecules are moved by osmosis, calcium is moved against its concentration gradient by active transport, oxygen is moved along its concentration gradient by simple diffusion, and proteins are released from the Golgi apparatus through exocytosis.
