E. coli cells were spread on an agar plate, producing 1000 colonies.  The colonies are replica plated on two agar plates containing the antibiotic kanamycin and one agar plate without antibiotics.  All of the colonies are able to grow on the agar plate without antibiotic but only 4 colonies are able to grow on each of the agar plates containing kanamycin.  You notice that the four colonies that grew on each of the kanamycin containing plates are in the exact same position.  This demonstrates

  1. how to screen for environmental mutagens

  2. that mutations occur in prokaryotes as well as in eukaryotes

  3. that in some cases mutations are caused by the selective agent itself

  4. a direct correlation between the amount of the selective agent used and the number of resistant mutants (one-hit relationship)

Some differences is found between plants that normally grow in full sunlight and those that grow in the shade given below;

COLUMN ACOLUMN B
A- SHADED PLANTSi- Light compensation points range from 10 to 20 µmol m–2 s–1
B- SUN PLANTSii- low light Compensation point and have lower maximum photosynthetic rates
iii- Light compensation points range from 1 to 5 µmol m–2 s–1
iv- the respiration rates in plants are very low
v- Plants CO2 assimilation take place very late

Following are some facts regarding C3 and C4 Plants

a.) In C4 plants the reduction is caused by the additional energy requirements such as 1 ATP per CO2 from C3 plants

b.) C4 leaves are exposed to low O2 concentrations, the quantum yields for CO2 fixation remain constant while C3 leaves are exposed to low O2 concentrations quantum yield increases

c.) C3 leaves are exposed to low O2 concentrations, photorespiration is maximized

d.) Plant with the C4 metabolism need more rubisco than C3 plants to achieve a given rate of Photosynthesis
