Abiochemist identifies a new toxin that closes the nuclear pores of a cell's nucleus. what cellular process would be disrupted by this toxin? which one would not be? briefly explain your answer either way.

Transcription is a process that takes place inside the nucleus. Hence, the process of transcription would not be affected by the new toxin that closes the nuclear pores.

For the translation process to occur, the RNA has to be transported to ribosomes present in the cytoplasm. If the nuclear pores are closed by the toxins, then the RNA would not be able to travel to the cytoplasm. Hence, the process of translation will be affected by the new toxin.

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

it would lead to upper respiratory infections and pneumonia.
