#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. different target cells have different sets of genes
  2. a target cell's response is determined by the components of its signal transduction pathways
  3. the circulatory system regulates responses to hormones by routing the hormones to specific targets
  4. the hormone is chemically altered in different ways as it travels through the circulatory system

Following statements are regarding to the the floral quartet model and the underlying ABCDE model of organ identity determination in Arabidopsis thaliana.

A. Five floral organ identities (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels, and ovules) are specified by the formation of floral organ-specific tetrameric complexes of MADS-domain transcription factors that bind to two nearby enhancer elements, forming a DNA loop in between.

B. A complex of two class A proteins (APETALA 1) and two class E proteins  (SEPALLATA) determines petal identity.

C. A complex of one class A protein, one class E protein, and one of each of the class B proteins (APETALA 3 and PISTILLATA) determines sepal identity.

D. A complex of one class E protein, two class B proteins, and one class C protein (AGAMOUS) determines stamen identity, while a complex of two class E proteins and two class C proteins determines carpel identity.D. A complex of one class E protein, two class B proteins, and one class C protein (AGAMOUS) determines stamen identity, while a complex of two class E proteins and two class C proteins determines carpel identity.

E. A complex of one class E protein, one class C protein, and one of each of the class D proteins (SHATTERPROOF and SEEDSTICK) controls ovule identity.

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.
