Which of the following statements are true? If false, correct them:(a) Boron deficiency leads to stout axis.(b) Every mineral element that is present in a cell is needed by the cell.(c) Nitrogen as a nutrient element, is highly immobile in the plants.(d) It is very easy to establish the essentiality of micronutrients because theyare required only in trace quantities.
Why are a higher number of sugar molecules displaced when sucrose concentration levels are high?
Anna conducted an experiment that aimed to determine the deficiency symptoms of tomato plants placed in a hydroponic solution. Six bottles were prepared, and each bottle, except for the positive control, lacked a certain micronutrient. In the positive control, all nutrients were provided. Unexpectedly, the control setup still showed symptoms of micronutrient deficiency. Students later on found out that the relative humidity in the room was very high and transpiration was affected. 1.Explain the appearance of these symptoms in the positive control set-up in lieu of the importance of transpiration? 2.Theoretically, how will thermoregulation of tomato plants be affected if transpiration will not occur 3. Discuss internal factors that could affect the rate of transpiration of the tomato plant.
Although rabbits cannot digest the cellulose in their all-plant diet, bacteria that live in their cecum can. However, to make full use of the nutrients released by bacterial action, a rabbit must produce and eat a special type of feces. Why must the rabbit reswallow this material to obtain the nutrients released by bacterial action?Some people who have gallstones experience pain after they eat, with fatty meals causing the greatest discomfort. Why do such meals trigger gallbladder pain? Diabetes insipidus is a medical disorder in which a person produces an unusually large amount of highly dilute urine. Some cases are caused by a gene mutation, but in most people, diabetes insipidus arises after a head injury. Explain how an injury to the head could affect kidney function.Marine mammals and desert rodents both have highly efficient kidneys that produce only a tiny amount of very concentrated urine. What selective pressure shaped this trait in both animals?
Explain how coumarins are usually stored in the vegetable in an un-elicited tissue, compared to a vegetable under conditions of biotic (or abiotic) stress in which, for example, leaf tissue disruption occurs. What is the relationship of this condition to the regulation of coumarin biosynthesis? Describe how compartmentalization / accumulation of this metabolite occurs in the cell and point out a biosynthetic step in which key enzymes are involved in this condition.
Switchgrass is used for ethanol production. The composition of the switchgrass is 37% cellulose, 24% xylan, 3% galactan, 4% arabinan, 20% lignin, 7% extractives, and 5% ash. A dilute acid pretreatment method is applied to the switchgrass before enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation. The pretreatment hydrolyzes 10% hexosan and 90% pentosan into monomeric sugars. Approximately 30% of the hydrolyzed pentoses further react & are decomposed to furfural. Assume that there is no decomposition of the hydrolyzed hexoses. Further Assume that lignin, extractives, and ash do not change during the pretreatment. • How much of each lignocellulosic sugar (glucose, xylose, galactose, and arabinose) is produced when pretreating 1,000 kg (dry matter) switchgrass? How much furfural is formed? • Is water consumed or produced in these pretreatment hydrolysis and dehydration reactions? How much in each?
An experiment is designed to study the mechanism of sucrose uptake by plant cells. Cells are immersed in a sucrose solution, and the pH of the solution is monitored. Samples of the cells are taken at intervals, and their sucrose concentration is measured. The pH is observed to decrease until it reaches a steady, slightly acidic level, and then sucrose uptake begins. (1)Rank the steps from first to last. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
Please name and describe the functions of the five most important minerals for plant growth: N, K, Ca, Mg & P (Table 14.3). Describe the consequences of deficiencies in these minerals. (the table is attached as an image)
Why are amino acids considered amphoteric compounds? How can stored fats in plants be utilized for energy reserves? What pathway is involved?
The following four chemicals commonly found in defined growth media contain all of the necessary atomic macronutrients, namely C, O, N, H, S and P, which microbes require: glucose (C6H12O6), K2HPO4, MgSO4.7H2O, and (NH4)HPO4. Part a. Create a simple diagram to map which growth media chemical contributes atoms to which of the four biological macromolecules (amino acids, polysaccharides, lipids, and ribonucleic acids). Part b. Consider a cell culture broth that originally (before inoculation with cells) contains 5.0 gr/L glucose (C6H12O6), 1.2 gr/L K2HPO4, 0.3 gr/L MgSO4∙7H2O, and 1.0 gr/L (NH4)HPO4. Create a table showing how much of each of the different atoms (C, H, O, K, P, Mg, S, N) are available for incorporation into cell macromolecules (assume 50% of the glucose is catabolized, while the remainder goes for energy (respiration). Express your answers with units of grams of atomic species / liter of culture broth.
