Answer»

Answer: c)14N,15NExplanation:Meselson and Stahl conducted their famous experiments on DNA replication using E. coli bacteria as a model system.They began by growing E. coli in medium, or nutrient broth, containing a "heavy" isotope of nitrogen, 15N. After many generations growing in the 15 N medium, the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labeled with heavy 15N. Then, the bacteria were switched to medium containing a "light" 14N isotope and allowed to grow for several generations. DNA made after the switch would have to be made up of 14N as this would have been the only nitrogen available for DNA synthesis.

structureof aDescribe the chemicalpolynucleotide chain of DNA.

Answer»

Deoxyribose is the pentose sugar found in this type of polynucleotide, hence its name Deoxyribonucleic Acid, or DNA. The nitrogenous bases found in DNA are, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. DNA molecules have two polynucleotide chains, held together in a ladder like structure.

663.

Briefly describe the structure of a polynucleotide chain.

Answer»

Well if we talk about Nucleotides then it's RNA & DNA which are made up of Organic molecules. And when these molecules combines as a whole then it's called as Polynucleotide chain.

=> Or in simple words then Polynucleotide chain is the Chain of nucleotide.

=> A nucleotide has three components - N-base , Pentose sugar and Phosphate.

=> In N-base there are mainly 2 parts found - Purines and Pyramidines.

And Purines must bind with Purines so as to maintain the DNA helical structure.

=> These nitrogenous bases are linked to each other with H-bonding also the nitrogen base is linked to the pentose sugar with N-glycosidic bond.

=> When a phosphate group is linked to 5'-OH of a nucleotide via phosphodiester linkage , a corresponding nucleotide is formed.

=> More and more nucleotide can be joined in order to form a polynucleotide chain.A polymer thus formed has at one end a free phosphate moiety at 5'-end of the ribose sugar.

=> Similarly at the other end of the polymer the ribose has free 3'-OH Group which is refrerred as 3'-end of the polynucleotide chain.

Ut the various modes of nutrition inSaula2

Answer»

Autotrophic and Heterotrophicare the main mode of nutrition in bacteria. The autotrophic bacteria make their own food from outside sources of energy. They are further divided into chemo and photo autotrophs. While heterotrophs do not make their own food and they depend on readymade food from outside for their survival. saprotrophic, symbiotic and parasitic are their sub types.

Electron transfer chain reaction.

Answer»

The electron transport chain is a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane to create a gradient of protons that creates ATP (adenosine triphosphate) or energy that is needed in metabolic processes for cellular function. During the process, a proton gradient is created when the protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of the cell, which also helps in driving ATP production. Often, the use of a proton gradient is referred to as the chemiosmotic mechanism that drives ATP synthesis since it relies on a higher concentration of protons to generate “proton motive force”. The amount of ATP created is directly proportional to the amount of protons that are pumped across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The electron transport chain involves a series of redox reactions that relies on protein complexes to transfer electrons from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule. As a result of these reactions, the proton gradient is produced, enabling mechanical work to be converted into chemical energy, allowing ATP synthesis. The complexes are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane called thecristaein eukaryotes. Enclosed by the inner mitochondrial membrane is the matrix, which is where necessary enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase and pyruvate carboxylase are located. The process can also be found in photosynthetic eukaryotes in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and in prokaryotes, but with modifications.By-products from other cycles and processes, like the citric acid cycle, amino acid oxidation, and fatty acid oxidation, are used in the electron transport chain. As seen in the overall redox reaction,

2 H++ 2 e++ ½ O2→ H2O + energy

energy is released in an exothermic reaction when electrons are passed through the complexes; three molecules of ATP are created. Phosphate located in the matrix is imported via the proton gradient, which is used to create more ATP. The process of generating more ATP via the phosphorylation of ADP is referred tooxidative phosphorylationsince the energy of hydrogen oxygenation is used throughout the electron transport chain. The ATP generated from this reaction go on to power most cellular reactions necessary for life.

What is heterotrophic nutrition? Explain its types

Answer»

Heterotrophic nutritionisnutritionobtained by digesting organic compounds. Animals, fungi, many prokaryotes and protoctistsareunable to synthesize organic compounds to use as food. Theyareknown asheterotrophs.Heterotrophicorganisms have to acquire and take in all the organic substances they need to survive.

types-1). Holozoic Nutrition:

This type of nutrition involves consumption of food portion through mouth (opening) .This process is called ingestion. Once consumed, the food particles are broken down into simpler forms and the process is termed as digestion. Finally, the vital nutrients are absorbed by the body and the unwanted and undigested portions are eliminated.

2. Saprophytic NutritionThis kind of nutrition involves processing or decomposing the rotten foliage and dead or decaying organic matter of organisms. Saprophytes have a tendency to gorge on dead products like wood, rotten plants, stored food to name a few. Some organisms that follow saprophytic nutrition are a host of fungi like mushrooms, yeasts and moulds.

3. Parasitic Nutrition:Parasitic nutrition is a mode of heterotrophic nutrition where an organism (known as a parasite) lives on the body surface or inside the body of another type of organism (known as a host).

For instance, a hook-worm lives in the intestine of humans and feeds on it without going through the process of ingestion or egestion. This nutrition is viable for those organisms that do not possess properly developed organs and depend on their host’s body for deriving the nourishment.

How to manage a source of water from different generated areas?

Answer»

Water is an essential resource for all life on the planet. Of the water resources onEarthonly three percent of it is fresh and two-thirds of thefreshwateris locked up inice capsandglaciers. Of the remaining one percent, a fifth is in remote, inaccessible areas and much seasonal rainfall inmonsoonaldeluges and floods cannot easily be used. As time advances, water is becoming scarcer and having access to clean, safe,drinking wateris limited among countries. At present only about 0.08 percent of all the world’s fresh water[2]is exploited by mankind in ever increasing demand forsanitation,drinking,manufacturing,leisureandagriculture. Due to the small percentage of water remaining, optimizing the fresh water we have left fromnatural resourceshas been a continuous difficulty in several locations worldwide.

short note on nerve cells

Answer»

Many nerve cells are of the basic type illustrated above. Some kind of stimulus triggers an electric discharge of the cell which is analogous to thedischarge of a capacitor. This produces an electrical pulse on the order of 50-70 millivolts called anaction potential. The electrical impulse propagates down the fiber-like extension of the nerve cell (the axon). The speed of transmission depends upon the size of the fiber, but is on the order of tens of meters per second - not the speed of light transmission that occurs with electrical signals on wires. Once the signal reaches the axon terminal bundle, it may be transmitted to a neighboring nerve cell with the action of achemical neurotransmitter.

The dendrites serve as the stimulus receptors for the neuron, but they respond to a number of different types of stimuli. The neurons in the optic nerve respond to electrical stimuli sent by the cells of the retina. Other types of receptors respond to chemical neurotransmitters.

The cell body contains the necessary structures for keeping the neuron functional. That includes the nucleus,mitochondria, and other organelles. Extending from the opposite side of the cell body is the long tubular extension called the axon. Surrounding the axon is the myelin sheath, which plays an important role in the rate of electrical transmission. At the terminal end of the axon is a branched structure with ends called synaptic knobs. From this structure chemical signals can be sent to neighboring neurons.
