Plants contain two types of GOGAT; one accepts electrons from NADH, and the other accepts electrons from ferredoxin (Fd); which one of the following statements is correct?

#Unit 6. System Physiology – Plant
  1. The NADH type of the enzyme (NADH-GOGAT) is located in plastids of nonphotosynthetic tissues such as roots or the vascular bundles of developing leaves
  2. In vascular bundles of developing leaves, NADH-GOGAT is involved in the assimilation of NH4 + absorbed from the rhizosphere
  3. In roots, NADH-GOGAT assimilates glutamine translocated from roots or senescing leave

  4. The ferredoxin-dependent type of glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT) is found in cytoplasm and serves in photorespiratory nitrogen metabolism

Analysis of mRNA from tomato fruits from wild-type and transgenic tomato plants genetically engineered to lack ethylene has revealed that gene expression during ripening is regulated by at least two independent pathways;

I) Ethylene-dependent pathway

II) Ethylene-independent pathway

Some given genes involved in these two pathways,

a) ACC oxidase

b) respiratory metabolism

c) ACC synthase

d) chlorophyllase

e) lycopene and aroma biosynthesis

Following statements are regarding to the mechanism of action of cholera toxin.

A. cholera toxin is a homodimeric protein, target G proteins, interfering with normal signaling in host cells.

B. cholera toxin associates with a small G protein, known as ARF6.

C. association with ARF6 activates cholera toxin, which catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD+ to the critical Arg residue in the P loop of the alpha subunit of Gs.

D. ADP-ribosylation blocks the GEF activity of Gs and thereby renders Gs permanently inactive.

E. This results in continuous activation of the adenylyl cyclase of intestinal epithelial cells, chronically high cAMP, and active PKA dephosphorylates the CFTR Cl- channel and a sodium-proton exchanger in the intestinal epithelial cells.

Ichthyosaurs were aquatic dinosaurs. Fossils show us that they had dorsal fins and tails, as do fish, even though their closest relatives were terrestrial reptiles that had neither dorsal fins nor aquatic tails. The dorsal fins and tails of ichthyosaurs and fish are
