Unlike most mites, termites can digest wood. This ability comes from protozoa that live in the a termite’s digestive tract. These protozoa produce enzymes that digest wood, and they receive shelter and additional nutrients from the termites. The interaction between termite and protozoan is called A) commensalism. B) mutualism. C) parasitism. Eliminate D) socialism.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: This is called B. Mutualism. The termite and the wood-digesting protozoa both receive benefits from each other, and therefore are in a "mutual" relationship.

Which best describes the order of actions by RNA polymerase?a. Makes mRNA from DNA, detaches, binds to DNA
b. Makes mRNA from DNA, binds to DNA, detaches
c. Binds to DNA, detaches, makes mRNA from DNA
d. Binds to DNA, makes mRNA from DNA, detaches

Answers

The answer is d. Binds to DNA, makes mRNA from DNA, detaches.

RNA polymerase is an enzyme involved in transcription, a process of copying DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). In the transcription, RNA polymerase first binds to DNA separating its two strands. Then, it adds ribonucleotides to the complementary nucleotides on DNA strand and, thus, it makes mRNA from DNA. After mRNA is synthesized, RNA polymerase detaches from DNA, freeing the new mRNA.

Answer:

D. Binds to DNA, makes mRNA from DNA, detaches.

To test for lipid is heat needed????????

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Place two spatulas of the food sample into a test tube or 1 cm3 if the sample is liquid.

Add 2 cm3 of ethanol to the tube. Cover the end of the tube and shake the tube vigorously.

Allow the contents to settle.

Pour the liquid from the top of the mixture into a test tube half-filled with water.

Record the level of the food and whether the water is cloudy or clear.

As you can see no heat is needed

How are cis-trans isomers used for night vision?

Answers

Answer: 11-cis Retinal is the light-sensitive component of rod and cone photoreceptors, and this structural conformation in rod photoreceptors is vital for low-light vision (night vision)

Explanation: To detect light, photoreceptors (especially rods) employ the exceptional properties of 11-cis retinal. Rods transmits low-light vision, as only them have enough sensitivity to respond and to trigger vision .

11-cis retinal in rods are bound to an opsin signaling protein to form a visual pigment molecule. Its other isomer, the all trans retinal is isomerized to 11-cis retinal causing the branching of the polyene chain, deactivating opsin molecule and increasing sensitivity to light. This adaptation occurs rapidly in minutes in the dark, resulting in maximum sensitivity to light.

"Cis-Trans Isomerism in Vision
The retina, the light-detector layer in the back of our eyes, contains colored compounds called visual pigments. They are insoluble in water and can be extracted from the retina with aqueous detergents. In the dark these pigments are reddish (their name, rhodopsin, comes from a Greek word meaning rose-colored), but the color fades upon exposure to light.

Rhodopsin molecules contain a protein called opsin plus a derivative of vitamin A called 11-cis-retinal. In the dark, 11-cis-retinal fits nicely into the folds of the surrounding opsin. When light hits the rhodopsin, the 11-cis-retinal becomes all-trans-retinal and no longer fits into the cavity of opsin. The opsin and the all-trans-retinal separate. The change in rhodopsin conformation is eventually transmitted to the nerve cells in the eye and then the brain. The stereoisomerism of retinal is thus an important part of the vision process. Note that only one of the five double bonds is affected in this transformation, but when this one changes from cis to trans, the shape of the entire molecule changes. An enzyme later catalyzes the change of all-trans-retinal back to 11-cis-retinal so that it can once again bind opsin and wait for the next exposure to light.

The retinas of vertebrates have two kinds of cells that contain rhodopsin. These cells are distinguished by their shapes: rods and cones. The cones, which function in bright light and are used in color vision, are concentrated in the central portion of the retina, called the macula, and are responsible for the greatest visual acuity. The remaining area of the retina consists mostly of rods, which are used for peripheral and night vision. 11-cis-retinal is present in both rods and cones. However, the opsin is somewhat different in the two kinds of cells, and the cones have three different opsins, one kind each for perception of blue, green, and red colors."
