- Nitrogen: Required by proteins. (Remember, nitrogen is included in the amino acid structure) Essential to enzymes required for plant function.
- Calcium: The mineral that strengthens bone and teeth uses calcium. Also important in nerve synaptic transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction. Regulates the cell wall construction in plants.
- Phosphorus: Part of the phosphate groups in ATP and DNA molecules. In plants it is needed for cell reproduction and division. It is part of the cell membrane.
- Iron: found in the structure of haemoglobin and essential for the production of red blood cells. It is involved in the light energy transferring compounds involved in photosynthesis in plants.
- Sodium: Major ion associated with the propagation of a nerve impulse. Can replace potassium in some plants.
- Sulfur: It is a component of amino acids.

An organic compound electrolytes in water?
An organic compound that electrolyzes in water typically contains ionic groups that can dissociate into ions when dissolved. Common examples include organic acids, such as acetic acid, which can partially ionize to produce hydronium ions and acetate ions. These ions allow the solution to conduct electricity, demonstrating the compound's electrolytic properties. However, the degree of ionization and conductivity can vary significantly depending on the compound's structure and nature.
Why only certain cells produce certain products?
Control genes impede certain genes from expressing themselves and allow others to express themselves/ Thus a liver cell will have basically the same genome as a neuron, but will not express axon development and the neuron will not express bile development.
Can a single protein have multiple genes?
Yes. A protein produced by multiple genes are cased by fusion genes. Usually a protein is translated from a mRNA which is transcribed from a DNA. After transcription, RNA is rearranged by so-called RNA splicing in which some of short sequences are selected(Exon) or deleted(Intron). During the splicing two different genes can join together and it is called trans-splicing. After trans-splicing, mRNA is translated into a protein, so the protein has two genes. Most cases these fusion genes are oncogenes which cause Cancerous diseases.
Does mitosis allow genes to move from one chromosome to another?
No, mitosis does not allow genes to move from one chromosome to another. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and type of chromosomes as the parent cell. Genes are not moved between chromosomes during this process.
The set of genes that are linked together and transcribed as a single unit is refered to as?
The set of genes that are linked together and transcribed as a single unit is referred to as an operon. Operons are primarily found in prokaryotic organisms and allow for the coordinated regulation of functionally related genes. This arrangement enables the simultaneous expression of genes that encode proteins involved in a common metabolic pathway or process.
What technology's allow us to alter our genes?
Genetics
Why only certain cells produce certain products?
Control genes impede certain genes from expressing themselves and allow others to express themselves/ Thus a liver cell will have basically the same genome as a neuron, but will not express axon development and the neuron will not express bile development.
What happens to allow a new species to develop?
the genes form together
Which of these is not an important part of the process of evolution mutation inheritance adaptation or morphology?
Evolution always involves adaption. The genes that allow an organism (s) to adapt to the environment will pass on their genes.Mutation may produce that gene and the organism will inherit them and their shape (morphology) may be what the genes produce but adaptation is the key to evolution. "The fittest survive".
Why would more than 90 percent of all known compounds be organic?
More than 90 percent of known compounds are organic because organic chemistry focuses on the study of carbon-containing compounds. Carbon has unique bonding properties that allow it to form diverse and complex molecules, making organic compounds highly abundant and diverse in nature. Additionally, living organisms primarily consist of organic compounds, further contributing to the predominance of organic chemistry in compound research.
What do microarrays allow scientists to do?
With a micro array , scientists can examine how active thousands of genes are.
How do you stop growing tall?
that is impossible to stop, you will grow as tall as your body and genes allow.
What does photosynthesis allow a plant to produce?
Sugars.
How does bonding in NaCl allow it to conduct electricity?
ionic compound
Regulatory genes in cells fail to function properly and allow cancer to develop what are they called?
oncogenes
Why are phospholipids used in a membrane?
Phospholipids form membranes because they have hydrophobic (water repelling) heads and hydrophilic (water attracting) tails. The hydrophobic heads will congretate together to avoid contact with the water so the hydrophilic tails will then be left on the outside in contact with the water. This creates a lipid bilayer membrane.
S the ethics and principles of organic farming and explain why organic products are more expensive than non organic produce?
Many folks believe that using chemicals on plants will allow the fruits to carry over residue and when people eat the fruit, they will then be eating the chemicals. The reason organic food is more expensive is because it is harder to grow and the organic fertilizers and pest control methods are more expensive. I have linked a good article that talks about the major differences between the two types of foods.
