78. Which of these statements about inhibitors is true? (A) DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) can be used to stain both live and fixed cells for fluorescent microscopy because it binds strongly to A-T rich regions in DNA. (B) Actinomycin D is used for the study of protein stability because it inhibits translational elongation. (C) Cycloheximide is used for the study of protein stability because it inhibits transcriptional elongation. (D) Ethidium bromide is used to see protein gel bands because it is an intercalating agent for protein. (E) Colchicine is used to see chromosomes in mitotic prophase because it inhibits microtubule polymerization.

80. Which of the following statements about the Calvin cycle is true? I. Sugarcane opens stomata on days, while pineapple opens stomata at nights. II. On hot and dry days, sugarcane is more efficient to fix CO2 than rice. III. Rubisco is an enzyme involved in the first major step of carbon fixation in rice; its substrate molecules are ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate and CO2 and its product is a three-carbon compound. IV. Sugarcane and pineapple can use phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase to capture more CO2 into a four-carbon compound in mesophyll cells.
