A new drug is developed that inhibits formation of the flagellar filament by impairing production of the protein flagellin. Is this going to be a good drug?

#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. Potentially-it would definitely only impair bacteria, but wouldn't matter for the ones that don't use a flagellum to move around.

  2. Potentially-if it could be shown that it also didn't impair the production of the eukaryotic flagellum.

  3. No-our eukaryotic cells depend on flagella to move around in our body, and this would impair that function.

  4. No-bacterial flagella are produced using microtubules, not the protein flagellin. This drug would be useless in eliminating bacteria.

Which of the following statements about the C4 cycle is true ?

a.) C4 plants uses the enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPCase), rather than rubisco

b.) Unlike rubisco, O2 does not compete with HCO3 − in the carboxylation catalyzed by PEPCase

c.)  initial carboxylation catalyzes in bundle sheath cells, four-carbon acids formed and flow across the diffusion barrier to the mesophyll cells

d.) during decarboxylation, releasing CO2 that is refixed by rubisco via the Calvin–Benson cycle
