#SCPH06 I Botany

  1. Receptor studies indicated that epinephrine was a ligand.

  2. Glycogen breakdown was observed only when epinephrine was administered to intact cells.

  3. Glycogen breakdown was observed when epinephrine and glycogen phosphorylase were combined in a cell-free system.

  4. Epinephrine was known to have different effects on many types of cells.

Consider two pairs of alleles, G/g and H/h, that follow complete dominance inheritance. The initial cross consisted of GG hh males and gg HH females, and the F I female progeny were test crossed with gg hh males to produce 380 Gghh progeny out of 1000 total progeny. What is approximate distance between Gene G and H.

One of the enzyme that are involve in the ammonium assimilation is Asparagine synthetase (AS), some statements given below about AS such as,

a) This enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, is found in the cytosol of leaves and roots and in nitrogen-fixing nodules

b) High levels of light and carbohydrate inhibit the expression of genes coding for AS and the activity of the enzyme

c) Conditions of ample energy stimulate AS, thus they favor nitrogen assimilation into glutamine and glutamate

d) Energy-limited conditions inhibit GS and GOGAT, stimulate AS, and thus favor nitrogen assimilation into asparagine, a compound that is rich in nitrogen and sufficiently stable for long-distance transport or long term storage

Which of the following statements about AS is correct?

C. roseus cells immobilized in Ca-alginate beads of diameter 0.5 mm are used for production of indole alkaloids (IA) in a fluidized-bed bioreactor. The rate limiting nutrient is glucose and no intraparticle diffusion limitations exist. Use the following data: Flow rate of the feed: Q = 1 l/h, Glucose in the feed: So = 30 g/l, Plant Cell Concentration: X = 6 g/l reac. The rate constant for IA formation: k = 5 d-1 (g/l)^-1 Ks = 0.4 g/l, Column diameter: Do = 0.15 m. Growth is negligible and Monod kinetics is valid. For 95% glucose conversion determine volume.
