198 Biology Questions And Answers

81⟩ How does oak blight spread?

The spread of oak blight likely occurs through infected plant material, rainwater, and soil. Foliar hosts may play an important role in the transmission of the infection to bark canker hosts. Moist, cool, windy conditions are thought to spread the pathogen by dispersing spores from the leaves of foliar hosts.

82⟩ What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?

Prokaryotic cells do not have a pre-defined nucleus. The chromosomes in prokaryotes are dispersed in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes, the chromosomes remain intact inside the nucleus and there is a conspicuous nuclear membrane surrounding the nucleus.

Another difference is that, there is cytoplasmic movement in prokaryotes, whereas there is no cytoplasmic movement in eukaryotes.

Prokaryotic: also no membrane-covered organelles, has circular DNA and bacteria, Eukaryotic: membrane-covered organelles, linear DNA and all other cells. Prokaryotic as a group is the most metabolically diverse. Eukaryotic makes many histones, a type of protein that structurally stabilizes the DNA.

83⟩ What are the balanced chemical equations of breathing?

Breathing is all about gas exchange

When we breathe, we are adding a new Tidal volume to our Functional Residual capacity. With that comes Oxygen, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen and Water vapor. The only 2 gases that participate in actual gas exchange are oxygen and Carbon dioxide. Our ventilation rate is matched to our Carbon dioxide production and therefore if we make twice as much carbon dioxide our ventilation will increase by 2 fold.

At the lungs: Hydrogen + Bicarbonate form in the presence of Carbonic anhydrate Carbonic acid which gets converted by that same enzyme to Carbon dioxide and water. Remember carbon dioxide is a volatile acid so it is breathed off.

Also at the lungs Oxygen saturates Hemoglobin because as hydrogen is being used by Carbonic anhydrate of the red blood cells it is being removed from the Hemoglobin an shifting the dissociation curve to the left therefore increasing Hemoglobin affinity for oxygen. Oxygen content = (% saturation of Hb x Amt of Hb) + Dissolved oxygen in plasma (ml/dl)

O.3ml/dl is the normal dissolved oxygen in plasma if % saturation of Hb is 97.5 or higher.

84⟩ What is a triglyceride?

A tricglyceride is a glyceride occurring naturally in animal and vegetable tissues; it consists of three individual fatty acids bound together

85⟩ What is a graduated cylinder and how is it used?

A graduated cylinder is a piece of laboratory glassware used to accurately measure out volumes of chemicals for use in reactions. They are generally more accurate and precise for this purpose than beakers or Erlenmeyer flasks, although not as precise as a volumetric flask or volumetric pipette. They come in a variety of sizes for different volumes, typically 10 mL, 25 mL, 50 mL, or 100 mL and up to as large as 1 or 2 liters.

Determine the volume contained in a graduated cylinder by reading the bottom of the meniscus at eye level.

86⟩ Why is it important to be familiar with the laboratory apparatus and their uses?

If you do not use instruments or lab apparatuses correctly (or use an apparatus for something it is not intended for) you can very seriously injure yourself!

In addition, if you misuse instruments used for measurements, the results of your experiments will be wrong because you will not have correctly measured the thing you were trying to determine, and so you will draw the wrong conclusion about the result of the experiment.

88⟩ Why are trees green?

It is because leaves have chloroplasts, which have a green pigment, which also have chlorophyll inside them. They are used for conducting photosynthesis, which gives the tree glucose, which is its food.

89⟩ What does vacuoles do?

It is an organelle, located in the cell's cytoplasm, which is the site of protein synthesis.

It is actually a protein consisting of 2 parts. These 2 "parts" clamp down on strands of messenger RNA in the cytoplasm and "translate" the information from the mRNA into proteins. They do this by aligning up the proper amino acids, as coded for by the RNA, into their proper sequence and sticking them together. This precise string of amino acids then folds into a protein.

The ribosome is far more than 2 proteins. The ribosome is composed of two subunits- a small and large. Each of these subunits is composed of many proteins and rRNA.

They are the weirdest thing ever. It is in your body and makes you walk and talk.

92⟩ What are sori?

The word "sori" is the plural form of "sorus". In ferns, a sorus (pl. sori) is a cluster of sporangia on the edge or underside of a fertile frond. In many species, they are protected by an umbrella-like cover called the indusium."

93⟩ How do plants take in oxygen?

First cells in take carbon dioxide and does photosynthesis, which takes water, sugar, and CO2 and then creates oxygen and a green pigment.

However, plants breed just like animals and thus use up all the O2 they produce (or almost all). They are auto-sufficient.

94⟩ What is a brain freeze?

What is commonly referred to as 'brain freeze' occurs when you ingest something that is very cold too quickly. When the cold touches your soft palate it constricts the blood vessels in the area, and then when they dilate it causes pain behind the eyes or even up into the forehead. Your brain does not actually freeze; you just get a lot of pain for a short period.

95⟩ What is the formula for photosynthesis?

H2O + 6CO2+ Light Energy ----> C6H12O6+ 6O2

6 molecules of water + 6 molecules of carbon dioxide --->1 molecule of glucose + 6 molecules of oxygen

The one molecule of sugar C6H12O6 is the glucose molecule

This means that carbon dioxide (6CO2) w/ Water

(6h2o) and light energy creates glucose and carbon dioxide

99⟩ What is light reaction?

Light reactions are reactions, which are initiated by light (also photo-induced reactions). Generally, light energy is converted into chemical energy.

100⟩ What is cellulose?

Cellulose is a long-chain polymeric polysaccharide carbohydrate, of beta-glucose. It forms the primary structural component of green plants. The primary cell wall of green plants is made primarily of cellulose; the secondary wall contains cellulose with variable amounts of lignin. Lignin and cellulose, considered together, are termed lingo cellulose, which (as wood) is argued to be one of the most common biopolymers on Earth (chrysolaminarin is often argued to be the other). Only one group of animals, the tunicates, has the ability to create and use cellulose. Some acetic acid bacteria are also known to synthesize cellulose.
