Biology Questions

The receptor molecules, which receive signals from outside the cell, passing the signal to the inside.

In order for a nerve cell, or any cell, to perceive its environment, it needs a sensory apparatus. And for an individual cell, most of that sensation is derived at the cell surface. So, it expresses on its cell surface proteins that span across the membrane.

In the outside world, these proteins can act to receive signals, catching molecules on the outside and then as the molecule passes to the inside of the cell, they can send signals like alarm signals that can tell the cell that a particular molecule is outside.

Hence, here B is the receptor cell.

The term 'Vector' in recombinant DNA methods, refers to a plasmid or other agent used to transfer DNA into a living cell.

Plant development is influenced by quality, quantity and duration of light. Plants cannot get too much light, but they can get too much of the heat energy that comes with the light.

Plants requires what quantity of light?

* Most of the garden vegetables require full sun, i.e 6 - 8 hrs of direct sunlight daily.

* Plants that grow in partial sun only need 3 - 4 hrs of direct sunlight daily.

* While plants that thrive in shade need less than 2 hours of sunlight daily.

ddNTPs - Dideoxynucleotides and abbreviated as ddNTPs.

They are chain-elongating inhibitors of DNA polymerase, used in the Sanger method for DNA sequencing.

They have a hydrogen at the 3’ carbon of the ribose sugar.
