Plants grow in many different shapes and sizes. Much of their shape depends on an internal structure that is composed of
carbon-containing molecules such as cellulose and lignin. Plants that have a strong internal structure can grow larger than other
plants because their structure can support their size.
Plants obtain the majority of the carbon necessary for building these structural molecules from -
O air
O microorganisms
O soil
O water

Organiccompounds of arsenate are less stable than analogous phosphate compounds, however. For example, acyl arsenates decompose rapidly by hydrolysis: On the other hand, acyl phosphates, such as 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, are more stable and undergo further enzyme-catalyzed transformation in cells.(a) Predict the effect on the net reaction catalyzed by glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase if phosphate were replaced by arsenate.(b) What would be the consequence to an organism if arsenate were substituted for phosphate?

The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful cloth made from a rare plant that grows only on their island. Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m². The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard². Part A If the clothing maker bought 500 m² of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and 0.9144 m = 1 yard.
