What is the approximate concentration in mm of Mg 2+ ions inside the cell? 38. The graph in Figure 8-2 shows typical concentrations of several ions inside and outside an animal cell. Concentrations of ions inside the cell are shown in gray, outside in black. Which ions are in the greatest concentration outside the animal cell? Figure 8-3 39. Cells A and F of Figure 8-3 show an early and a late stage of the same phase of mitosis. What phase is it? 40. When prokaryotic bacterial cells undergo cell division, the single circular chromosome replicates to form a second chromosome. This new chromosome, like the original, attaches to the plasma membrane. Next, the plasma membrane pinches inward, and a cell wall forms across the middle of the cell to separate the two chromosomes and form two daughter cells. How does cell division in bacteria differ from mitosis in eukaryotes?
The large size of many fruits and flowers is the result of polyploidy, a condition in which the nuclei of an organism's cells contain extra sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy often occurs naturally, but it can also be artificially induced by plant breeders. How have breeders been able to mimic a naturally occurring phenomenon? Researchers have determined that the chemical colchicine suppresses cell division by preventing the formation of spindle fibers. Without these fibers, the sister chromatids cannot become properly oriented for separation into individual nuclei. In effect, mitosis is stopped after prophase. However, the cell may continue to make copies of its chromosomes. As a result, the nucleus of the cell contains multiple sets of chromosomes. Suppose a researcher wished to investigate how extra sets of chromosomes are produced. First, she treated two onion roots with a colchicine solution and left two roots untreated. After a period of several days, she placed thin slices from each root tip on separate slides, stained the specimens, and examined the slides under a microscope at high power. 41. What was the variable in the investigation? In 1803, Thomas Engelmann of Germany used a combination of filamentous alga and aerobic bacteria to study the effect of various colors of the visible light spectrum on the rate of photosynthesis. He passed white light through a prism in order to separate the light into the different colors of the spectrum; then he exposed different segments of the alga to the various colors. He observed in which areas of the spectrum the greatest number of bacteria appeared. Figure 9-1 42. Did Engelmann's observations verify his hypothesis? Explain. Refer to Figure 9-1. 43. What was the independent variable in this experiment? You may refer to Figure 9-1. 44. Why did Engelmann select aerobic rather than anaerobic bacteria? See Figure 9-1. 45. Was determining where there was more oxygen the purpose of Engelmann's experiment? If not, state the purpose. You may refer to Figure 9-1. 46. What is the chemical equation for cellular respiration?
