Assume that you grew a culture of e. coli for many generations in medium containing 15n (from the ammonium ion), a heavy isotope of nitrogen. you extract dna from a portion of the culture and determine its density to be 1.723 gm/cm3 (call this sample a). you then wash the remaining e. coli cells and grow them for one generation in 14n, and extract the dna from a portion of the culture (call this sample b). you let the culture grow for one more generation in 14n, and extract the dna (call this sample c). each sample of dna (a, b, and c) is then subjected to ultracentrifugation. label the centrifugation profiles for the below given diagram. (note: assume that unlabeled [14n] dna has a density of 1.700 gm/cm3.)

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.

Which statement describes a way in which the digestive and excretory systems work together? a. the nephrons absorb nutrients from food going to the large intestine. b. the excretory system balances blood gases in the small intestine. c. the intestinal villi filter blood and send wastes to the bladder. d. the excretory system balances the salts and water obtained from digested food
