The stems of bamboo, a tropical grass, can grow at the phenomenal rate of 0.3 m/day under optimal conditions. Given that the stems are composed almost entirely of cellulose fibers oriented in the direction of growth, calculate the number of sugar residues per second that must be added enzymatically to growing cellulose chains to account for the growth rate. Each D-glucose unit contributes ~0.5 nm to the length of a cellulose molecule.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 6944 glucose residues are added enzymatically per second

Explanation:

Cellulose is the main structural polysaccharides in plants. It is composed of unbranched glucose monomer units linked to each other by beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds.

The cell wall and stem of plants cells are composed of cellulose fibers. They provide rigidity and support to the plant.

In the given bamboo plant, the enzymatic addition of glucose units to the growing cellulose fiber chains results in the phenomenal growth rate of the bamboo stem.

Since each glucose unit contributes ~0.5 nm to the length of a cellulose molecule, number of glucose units required for daily growth is calculated as follows:

0.5 nm = 10⁻⁹

0.3 m/0.5 x 10⁻⁹ m = 600000000 units of glucose per day

Number of seconds in a day = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 seconds

Number of glucose residues added per second = 600000000/86400

Number of glucose residues added per second = 6944.4 glucose molecules per second

Therefore, approximately 6944 glucose residues are added per second

Part of the amino acid sequence is Glu-Glu-His-Asp-Val-Leu 1. determine the possible antisense oligo nucleotides possible from this amino acid sequence 2. How many total unique different oligonucleotide would need to be produced to cover all possibilities

Answers

Answer:

1)  UUC-AUG-AUC-AAG-UAA.

2) 48

Explanation:

1) Determine the possible antisense oligo nucleotides possible from this amino acid sequence

Given that the peptide sequence is = Glu-Glu-His-Asp-Val-Leu 1.

we will use a codon table to show the codons and Anticodons for each of the Amino acids  

Amino Acid   Codons                                                         Anticodons

 Glu                GAA, GAG                                                    UUC, CUC

 His                 CAU, CAC                                                    AUG, GUG

 Asp         GAU, GAC                                                    AUC, GUC

 Val                 GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG                             AAG, GAC, UAC,CAC

 Leu   UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG  | UAA, CAA, AAG, GAG,UAG,CAG

From the table above

The possible antisense oligo nucleotide sequence is : UUC-AUG-AUC-AAG-UAA.

2)  How many total unique different oligonucleotide would need to be produced to cover all possibilities

A desired peptide sequence requires 16 anticodons

Hence the total unique different oligonucleotide needed to be produced to cover all possibilities = 16 *3 = 48

The ADG1(ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase is involved in flowering timing in plants and a DNA probe is made by using partial protein sequence information. Part of the amino acid sequence is Glu-Glu-His-Asp-Val-Leu.

1. To determine the possible antisense oligonucleotides possible from this amino acid sequence:

Since, for every amino acid, there is a specific codon and anticodons are present so according to the given information, the possible antisense oligonucleotides for Glu-Glu-His-Asp-Val-Leu is UUC-AUG-AUC-AAG-UAA.

2) The total number of unique different oligonucleotides that would need to be produced to cover all possibilities is 48

since the amino acid sequence is Glu-Glu-His-Asp-Val-Leu has 16 anticodons and each anticodon have 3 nucleotides so the possible number of oligonucleotides are  :

16×3 = 48.

What are codon and anticodon?

A codon is a trinucleotide sequence of RNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence complementary to that of a corresponding codon in a messenger RNA sequence.

Thus, according to codon and anticodon, the possible antisense oligonucleotides for Glu-Glu-His-Asp-Val-Leu is UUC-AUG-AUC-AAG-UAA and a number of unique different oligonucleotides that would need to be produced to cover all possibilities is 48.

What is soil structure?​

Answers

Answer:

Soil structure is defined by the way individual particles of sand, silt, and clay are assembled. Single particles when assembled appear as larger particles. These are called aggregates.

Explanation:

Aggregation of soil particles can occur in different patterns, resulting in different soil structures. The circulation of water in the soil varies greatly according to structure, Therefore, it is important for you to know about the structure of the soil where you plan to build a fish-farm. Although you may not be able to assemble all this information yourself, the specialized technicians from the soil testing laboratory will be able to provide it after examining your undisturbed soil samples. They will be able to tell you if your soil has bad structure or good structure (pores/capillary canals, network, etc.). They will also be able to tell you about the degree of water circulation or permeability.

Explanation: Albedo is the measure of the reflectivity of a material. A high albedo means it reflects a lot of light and a low albedo means it absorbs a lot of light.

Introspection is one of the many sleeping disorders experienced
by people with sleep apnea.
Select one:
True
False​

Answers

Answer:

The statement is false.

Explanation:

Sleep apnea is a respiratory disease characterized by the fact that people who suffer from it habitually snore, have repeated stops of breathing (apneas) and drowsiness during the day. As a consequence, patients who suffer from it cannot rest well during the hours of sleep.The obstruction of breathing causes a decrease in oxygen levels in the body, the persistence of this lack of oxygen could cause pulmonary hypertension and a future right-sided heart failure or myocarditis. Introspection, on the other hand, is the immediate reflective capacity of the human mind to know its own states; it is not associated with sleep apnea.

However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice.

How does this study support the  concept that natural selection is not random?  

Answer:

The study supports the  concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.  

Explanation:

All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
