Question
Chapter 39.1, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To predict: Whether Viagra will be helpful in occurrence of normal de-etiolation in leaves of aurea mutant tomato.
Concept introduction:
In de-etiolation process, the first step is the reception of signals from the light. This reception is done by phytochrome that is present in the plasma membrane. This phytochrome acts as a first messenger that initiates the de-etiolation.

Assume that two pigments, red and bluc, mix to give the normal purple color of petunia petals. Separate biochemical pathways
synthesize the two pigments, as shown in pathways I and Il in the accompanying diagram. "White" refers to compounds that are
not pigments (total lack of pigment results in a white petal). Red pigment forms from a yellow intermediate that is normally at a
concentration loo kow to color petals. Bluc mixed with yellow makes green. Assume that no mutations are lethal.

A third pathway, whose compoundk do not contribute pelal pigmentation, normally docs not allfect the bluc and red pathways.
However, if one of its intermediates (white3) should build up in concentration, it can be converted into the ycllow intermediate of
the red pathway. In the diagram, the letiers A through E represent enzymes. The enzymes' correspoonding genes, all of which are
unlinked, may be symbolized by the same letters.…

University of Seville
Researchers from the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Seville have recently published a study in which they state that diets supplemented with aqueous extract of Annona muricata L. leaves can prevent the symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, so improving the lives of these patients.
Leaves of the species Annona muricata L. come from a tree of between 4 and 6 metres in height, from the botanical family Annonacese. They are simple leaves, oblong and egg like or oblong and elliptical in shape and between 5 and 15 cm in length. This species is native to the tropical areas of the Americas and is especially abundant in the Amazon region. It is usually cultivated for its medicinal use. The leaves have different ethnomedical uses according to their country of origin. The most important uses in traditional medicine, scientifically validated in pre-clinical tests, are for inflammation, pain, infections, diabetes and cancer.

- Bruce Ames and his colleagues have pointed out that although detailed toxicological analysis has been conducted on synthetic chemicals, almost no information is available about the mutagenic or carcinogenic effects of the toxins produced by plants as a natural defense against fungi, insects, and animal predators. Tens of thousands of such compounds have been discovered, and he estimates that in the United States adults eat about 1.5 g of these compounds each daylevels that are approximately 10,000 times higher than those of the synthetic pesticides present in the diet. For example, cabbage contains 49 natural pesticides and metabolites, and only a few of these have been tested for their carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. a. With the introduction of new foods into the U.S. diet over the last 200 years (mangoes, kiwi fruit, tomatoes, and so forth), has there been enough time for humans to develop resistance to the mutagenic effects of the toxins present in those foods? b.

Plants use CO for 2 photosynthesis, and laboratory studies suggest that increasedCO2 levels could cause a rise in photosynthetic activity. However, as one environmentalist noted, What plants do in environmental chambers may not happen in nature, where there are many other interacting variables. Strictly from the standpoint of physiological effects, what are some possible ramifications of a rapid doubling of atmospheric CO2 on plants in temperate environments? In arid environments?arrow_forward
