When expressing the rate of non-growth as a function of temperature [mu = f(T)], explain what process is required for irreversible inactivation.
List eight metabolic processes that undergo endogenous rhythms in plants.
The herbicide dinoseb, which was removed from the market many years ago, killed plants by uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation. Ironically, plants have embedded in the inner membrane of their mitochondria a protein named the “uncoupling protein” that essentially can carry out the same process caused by dinoseb. The mechanism of uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation involves which of the following scenarios.
A.
Excess electrons oxidize lipids in the mitochondrial membranes, thus destroying the electron transport chain
B.
Excessive oxygen is consumed via reduction to water, thus depriving the mitochondria of the ability to carry out phosphorylation that requires oxygen
C.
The membrane selectivity required to maintain a proton gradient is altered so the potential for driving ATP synthesis via chemiosmosis is degraded
D.
Uncoupling oxidative phosphorylation kicks a cell into a fermentative pathway that cannot supply sufficient ATP

The lowest shoot development is BAP at 1 mg/L. What is the general conclusion that can you make from result of the experiment?arrow_forward

For each of the 3 environmental factors describe the primary effects and the secondary effects.arrow_forwardWhat is the advantage of using ATP as a common energy source?Another way of asking this question is, “Why does ATP provide anadvantage over using a bunch of different food molecules?” For example,instead of just having a Na+/K+-ATPase in a cell, why not have manydifferent ion pumps, each driven by a different food molecule, like aNa+/K+-glucosase (a pump that uses glucose), a Na+/K+-sucrase (a pumpthat uses sucrose), a Na+/K+-fatty acidase (a pump that uses fatty acids),and so on?arrow_forwardAside from Avocado seeds, what are the other excellent materials for production of Granular Activated Carbons (GAC)?arrow_forward
- A glucose-fed yeast cell is moved from an aerobic environment to an anaerobic one. For the cell to continue to generate ATP at the same rate, approximately how much glucose must it consume in the anaerobic environment compared with the aerobic environment?arrow_forwardWhy are a higher number of sugar molecules displaced when sucrose concentration levels are high?arrow_forwardPlease asnwer the following question: Suppose you specifically want to measure the amount of beta-glucose present in a sample. You have an enzyme that reacts specifically with the beta form of the sugar,and produces a signal that is easy to measure. However, every time you try to measure the amount of beta-glucose, mutarotation occurs and the alpha form of the sugar is converted into beta!! Can you suggest a simple way of overcoming this problem so you could measure only the beta form of the sugar? HINT: Is there a way you can prevent mutarotation?arrow_forward
- Detection of external signals by plant cells often results in a transient rise in the concentration of Ca2+ ions in the cytoplasm. What transport processes can cause such an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+, and what transport processes can remove the excess Ca2+ and restore the level of Ca2+ to its resting state?arrow_forwardList five main groups of natural plant growth regulators. Write a note ondiscovery, physiological functions and agricultural/horticultural applicationsof any one of them.arrow_forwardThe nerve gas sarin acts as a poison by covalently bonding to a hydroxyl group in the active site of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This binding results in a higher-than-normal amount of acetylcholine at a nerve synapse, resulting in muscle spasms. From this description, would you expect sarin to be a competitive, noncompetitive, or irreversible inhibitor? noncompetitive inhibitor irreversible inhibitor competitive inhibitorarrow_forward
