BCH4024 F2024 OC E4 Q10: Dr. Cosima Niehaus studies DNA replication in eukaryotic yeast cells. She discovers that when she treats yeast cells with Compound LEDA, the cells could not progress from G1 to S phase. It turns out that Compound LEDA prevented proteins from locating DNA sites to initiate the process of “licensing.” Compound LEDA MOST likely blocks the action of __________.

  In comparing these activity budgets, which activity in free-range organisms decreased the most in the stabled organisms most likely leading to boredom (“nothing to do”) for the stabled organisms?    

Soils frequently contain large amounts of both iron and aluminum, and the solubility of common solid phases (oxides, hydroxyoxides) of both element vary strongly.  Despite these similarities, “the chemistry of — and concerns about — acid soils is said to be essentially the chemistry of Al”, not Al and Fe; why?
