The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. allows the graphic determination of the molecular weight of a weak acid from its pH alone.

  2. is equally useful with solutions of acetic acid and of hydrochloric acid.

  3. relates the pH of a solution to the pKa and the concentrations of acid and conjugate base.

  4. does not explain the behavior of di- or tri-basic weak acids

This feature is an adaptive, as the redistribution of chloroplasts within the cells modulates light absorption and prevents photodamage, diagram shows of chloroplast distribution patterns in Arabidopsis palisade cells in response to different light intensities;

                                        

m) A-low light, B-high light, C-darkness

n) A-high light, B-darkness, C-low light

Based on the above light intensities, each shows different chloroplasts position such as,

i) chloroplasts avoid sunlight by migrating to the side walls of palisade cells

ii) chloroplasts move to the bottom of the cell, although the physiological function of this position is unclear

iii) chloroplasts optimize light absorption by accumulating at the upper and lower sides of palisade cells

Which of the following correct combinations shows light intensities and chloroplast movements?

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

Two-component system regulating response to low Gln,

a) Glutamine dissociates from the sensor domain in the NtrB protein, leading to activation of a histidine kinase transmitter domain in NtrB

b) glutamine binds to a sensor domain of NtrB, causing a conformational change in the protein that inhibits its histidine kinase activity, the regulatory domain of NtrC blocks its DNA-binding domain from binding the glnA enhancers.

c) Activated transmitter domain of NtrB that transfers the γ-phosphate of ATP to a histidine residue (H), this phosphohistidine then transfers the phosphate to an aspartic acid residue (D) in the NtrC protein

d) This causes a conformational change in NtrC that unmasks the NtrC DNA-binding domain so that it can bind to the glnA enhancers

Which of the following combination is correct?
