Herbicides are chemicals used to kill or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants and weeds. Many herbicides work by blocking electron carriers, or reducing their ability to carry electrons, in the light dependent reactions. One such chemical is DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethy lurea). DCMU is an algaecide and herbicide that works by blocking the electron binding site of plastoquinone. This means that photosystem II is unable to transfer electrons from the splitting of water to plastoquinone. This effectively shuts down the linear flow of electrons in the light dependent reactions. a) Identify the molecule produced in the light dependent reactions that would be most affected by the shutting down of linear electron flow. b) Justify your reasoning with an explanation. c) Connect how the molecule affected in part (a) is used in the Calvin cycle. d) Describe what would effectively happen to the Calvin cycle as a result of exposure to DCMU

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.
