1. • Identify the relationship between the conditions on early Earth and the origin of organic molecules: - Conditions of early Earth: _ Massive oceans existed _ Only small landmasses above the surface of the water _ No ozone layer _ Large amounts of radiation reached the Earth _ No free oxygen in the air _ Large amounts of volcanic activity; heat, ash, dust and gases into atmosphere _ Violent electric storms common _ Atmosphere contained some water vapour (H2O), hydrogen (H2), hydrogen

what you will come to find out might make you think twice about purchasing and consuming certain food products. The documentary “Panacea or Poison” is an informative documentary film about the ways in which scientists have found a way to alter the DNA (the blueprint of life) and produce a crop that is potentially stronger, and can fight the harmful diseases that it is exposed to on a daily basis. Although the scientists in this documentary believe that the genetic engineering of crops could potentially

creates glucose from carbon dioxide, furthermore, carbon dioxide is conducted out of glucose. Chapter 9 Genetics are a sum of genes, genomes, and chromosomes. Genes are the actual physical and practical components of heredity. They are made from DNA and plays a role as directives to make molecules, such as proteins. Everyone’s genes contain two copies, each one is

Article Critique | * | This week’s critique I decided to do my paper on how researchers unlocked how cells determine their functions. In the reading, researchers found how proteins bind to target DNA and activate certain genes will function in the body. The protein that researchers found was called epigenetic activators, which they found another protein pretty similar to one that they had found in a fruit fly, called the Ash 1 protein. These genes turn on expression on specific target genes

active site less effective. Allosteric Activation and Inhibation * The binding of an activator stabilizes the active form of the enzyme. * The binding of an inhibitor stabilizes the inactive form of the enzyme. Differences between DNA and RNA DNA * DNA occurs as two paired strands are twisted into a double helix.

transferring of genetic information that DNA carries. Transferring of mRNA, which tells which proteins should be coded. A parasite tricks the plant into reducing defense in order to start feeding from it. "The typical way that plants communicate is through chemicals that they release through their leaves and roots," says Westwood. "So to find out that there is an exchange of RNA" - the intermediary form of genetic information that fills the gap between DNA and proteins - "is a new concept that hasn't
