Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein provides the cell with a potential control point for self-regulating its functions by adjusting the amount and type of proteins it manufactures. Choose the best description of activators and repressors of gene expression.
Activators are, in most cases, proteins that bind to the promotor sequence and the enhancer sequence of DNA upstream of the gene and stimulate the binding of RNA polymerase to the DNA at the gene.
Recent studies have shown that the uses of green algae are boundless. First, scientists at R.I.T. used algae to synthesize biofuel, and recently scientists at Northwestern University and Argonne National have found that freshwater algae can remove strontium 90 from radioactive wastewater. These developments can significantly aid the future effort to clean up radioactive waste at the Fukushima Daichi Plant [a nuclear power plant in Japan]. Scientists discovered that the process begins when the green algae first absorb strontium, calcium, and barium from water. The strontium and barium form crystals inside each algae cell. The crystals remain inside the cells, but the algae filters out and excretes calcium and other minerals that may be present. The strontium is then isolated, and thus able to be treated. Researchers are still figuring the best way to harness the algae's capabilities. Since algae doesn't differentiate between radioactive and inactive strontium (they are chemically identical), it is not known how the algae would hold up in a highly radioactive environment. But the good news is that they have been able to manipulate the algae's process to be more strontium-selective, thus removing as much as possible....

Which row in the chart correctly connects the process with the description of actions that occur during the cellular process listed? Process Description A Replication The double helix is unwound and unzipped by helicase that breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the nitrogenous bases together. The leading strand acts as a template for RNA polymerase form a complimentary strand containing adenine, cytosine, guanine, and uracil B Transcription The creation of proteins by cells that uses DNA, RNA and various enzymes C Translation messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded in the ribosome decoding center to produce a specific amino acid chain, or polypeptide. The ribosome facilitates decoding by inducing the binding of complementary tRNA anticodon sequences to mRNA codons. The tRNAs carry specific amino acids that are chained together into a polypeptide with peptide bonds as the mRNA passes through and is "read" by the ribosome. D Synthesis The double helix is unwound and unzipped by helicase that breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the nitrogenous bases together. The Y shape that is created, the replication fork is where the two separate strands act as templates for the formation of new strands by DNA polymerase.

Meselson and Stahl tested the hypothesis of DNA replication. They cultured bacteria in a 15N medium. 15N is a heavy isotope of nitrogen so the DNA synthesized is of heavy density. They then shifted the bacteria to a 14N medium, DNA was isolated at different times corresponding to replication cycles 0, 1, and 2. DNA was isolated at different times corresponding to replication cycles 0, 1, and 2. After one replication cycle, the DNA was all of intermediate density. After two replication cycles, two bands of DNA were seen, one of intermediate density and one of light density.

The student predicted that the contractile vacuole would contract fewer times in one minute in a solution that had a higher concentration of salt than that found in typical pond water. This prediction is most likely:
correct, because water would be moving out of the cell through aquaporins/channels in the membrane and into the salt solution

Hair follicle cells are long-lived cells in the hair follicle; they are present in the skin and produce hair throughout a person's lifetime. They are "quiescent," meaning they are normally inactive, but they quickly activate during a new hair cycle, which is when new hair growth occurs. The quiescence of hair follicle cells is regulated by many factors. In certain cases they fail to activate, which is what causes hair loss. Researchers at UCLA have found that when lactate production was decreased the study mice showed a loss of hair. The opposite was found when they increased the lactate produced during basic metabolism in these cells. This shows potential as a treatment to increasing hair growth in those with alopecia and hair loss. What multipotent stem cells would this drug be acting upon?

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a byproduct of cellular metabolism, is broken down by the enzyme catalase which is produced by nearly all organisms. When catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide, a reaction occurs that produces bubbles of oxygen gas (O2) and water (H2O). 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 The laboratory setup represented below was used to investigate the effect of pH on the breakdown of H2O2. Five setups were made with H2O2 solutions, each at a different pH level. Catalase was added to the solution in the first setup and the reaction proceeded for one minute and the amount of gas produced by the reaction was recorded on the data table. This exact procedure was repeated with the other four setups containing different H2O2 solutions. https://hcpss.instructure.com/courses/85437/files/9366905/preview Based on the investigation, the student should conclude that enzymes

Potatoes were the main crop in Ireland in the 1800s. Almost the entire population of Ireland was dependent on a single variety of potato, the "lumper." These potatoes were reproduced by a method of asexual reproduction known as vegetative propagation. In the middle of the 1800s, a disease caused by a fungus killed almost the entire lumper crop within two years. As a result, millions of people in Ireland died of starvation. The most likely reason the potato disease was able to destroy the potato crop in such a short time is that the
potato population lacked variations
