Chapter 2.9, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Some Archaea and Bacteria are planktonic and possess the ability to float in the water with the help of gas vesicles. Gas vesicles provide buoyancy to aquatic microbes and allow the microbes to locate themselves in the region suitable for their

Plants use CO for 2 photosynthesis, and laboratory studies suggest that increasedCO2 levels could cause a rise in photosynthetic activity. However, as one environmentalist noted, What plants do in environmental chambers may not happen in nature, where there are many other interacting variables. Strictly from the standpoint of physiological effects, what are some possible ramifications of a rapid doubling of atmospheric CO2 on plants in temperate environments? In arid environments?arrow_forwardQ and A Activity: 1. How do plants cope with the change in season? Give a detailed description and explanation. 2. How do plants capture the sun's energy? 3.

- Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used to isolate the chloroplasts? 1.To gently lyse the chloroplasts, leaving the electron transport membranes intact, whilst allowing DCPIP access 2.To maintain a constant acidic pH and favourable hyper-osmotic conditions, to ensure that the chloroplasts remained intact and functional during extraction 3.To gently separate the chloroplasts from each other, leaving the electron transport membranes intact, whilst allowing DCPIP access 4.To maintain a constant physiological pH and favourable iso-osmotic conditions, to ensure that the chloroplasts remained intact and functional during extraction.arrow_forwardPlease answer fast Many commercial herbicides act by inhibiting photosynthetic electron transport. They are investigating three herbicides for potential inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport. a) How can you determine whether these substances have an inhibitory effect on photosynthetic electron transport? How can you quantify the effect? b) An inhibitor has produced a strong effect in "in vitro" tests, but the effect is significantly less in "in vivo" tests. What can be the reason for the reduced effect "in vivo"?arrow_forwardQ1. You are required to design a carbon-based, eukaryotic, unicellular organism that contains membrane-bound organelles that match those on Earth.

(200 words maximum) Answer here: Q2. It is critical that your cell contains the capacity to transport and traffic cellular components both intracellularly and extracellularly. To facilitate this you will need to develop an endomembrane system. Outline the function of the endomembrane system, including which organelles will be included within your endomembrane system.
