An apple falls off a tree onto the ground. which of the following best describes what eventually happens to the material that makes up the apple? a. water softens the apple and its material dissolves into the ground. b. sunlight decomposes the apple and recycles its material into the soil. c. weather conditions rot the apple until all its material disappears and no longer exists. d. microscopic organisms break down the apple and release its material into the soil and air.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

What is the most appropriate method of gaining weight (muscle mass)

Asolution of an enzyme and a substrate was placed in a water bath and the temperature of the reaction was raised gradually. the graph shown was plotted at the end of the experiment. what can be concluded from the graph? a) temperature has no effect on the activity of the enzyme. b) the effect of temperature on the enzyme is unpredictable. c) the enzyme shows increased activity up to a certain temperature. d) the activity of the enzyme is inversely proportional to the temperature.
