1. why is it important to have a basic understanding of chemistry in order to understand biological processes?

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Identify characteristics of energy from the sun. check all that apply. almost all of the energy on earth comes from the sun. energy from the sun is known as mechanical energy. the energy in fossil fuels originally came from the sun. plants convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy.
