Answer:
The correct answer is: D) a drug that blocks gene expression in circular chromosomes.
Explanation:
Antibiotics are the drugs that are mostly used when it comes to treating bacterial infections because of their effective mechanisms in killing bacteria and/or preventing their spread.
Bacteria have the ability to colonize and infect different organisms by making use of highly diverse mechanisms, some of which involve the use of toxins or the inhibition of the host's immune system.
Bacteria are prokaryotic individuals - instead of having a nucleus containing DNA in multiple chromosomes like eukaryotes have, they have one single circular chromosome that holds all or most of all their genetic information. If we wanted to treat a plant (which is a eukaryotic being) for a bacterial infection, we should aim to block the expression of genes in circular chromosomes, which is a distinct feature in bacteria.
If we were to give the plant a drug that interferes with mitochondria function or destroys the central vacuole, we would only be affecting plant cells and probably killing the plant. A drug that disrupts cell walls would affect the bacteria but would kill the plant as well (both organisms have cell walls). The only viable option out of the mentioned is using a drug that inhibits gene expression in circular chromosomes.
Consider the factors that affect muscular strength. Read each scenario and then identify each label into the appropriate category based on whether each would result in a stronger or weaker muscle contraction.
a. Potassium accumulate in the sarcoplasm
b. Increase in muscle belly circumference
c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres
d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction
e. Lower sarcoplasm pH
f. Increased stimulus frequency.
g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles
h. increased requirement.
Answer:
1. Weaker contraction:
a. Potassium accumulate in the sarcoplasm
d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction
e. Lower sarcoplasm pH
g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles
2. Stronger Contraction
b. Increase in muscle belly circumference
c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres
f. Increased stimulus frequency.
h. increased requirement.
Explanation:
Sarcoplasm refers to the cytoplasm of muscle cells which contains ATP, enzymes, and a variety of ions, including potassium (K+). The negative potential required during muscle activity is produced from the disequilibrium of ionic concentrations (mostly Na+ and K+) across the membrane, which is generated through Na+/K+ ATPase pumps. During contraction, a muscle shortens, and thus its circumference increases. The generation of lactic acid is known to lower pH in the sarcoplasm and thus hinder the force and power development of the muscle fibers. Muscle fascicles can be arranged in concentric rings, it is a common pattern in sphincter muscles that modulate the opening and closing of orifices (which have weak contractions). A motor unit refers to a single efferent neuron and all of the muscle fibers it modulates. Each individual muscle fiber is innervated by one motor neuron, whereas a single motor neuron can innervate many muscle fibers. Finally, higher intensity/frequency are known to induce stronger muscular contractions, but also produce a stronger decline in force and cause more rapid muscle fatigue.

Fungi of the phylum Basidiomycota form mycorrhizal
associations with orchids, a type of flowering plant.
How do these associations benefit both the fungi and
the orchids?
Answer:
The orchids derive nutrients from the association at very young stages of its life cycle while the fungi obtain water and organic matter
Explanation:
As stated in this question, fungi species belonging to the phylum Basidiomycota form mycorrhizal associations with a flowering plant called orchids. This relationship is a mutualistic one because both participants benefit from the relationship.
In this association, the young orchid plant relies on the mycorrhizal fungi's metabolism to get nutrients needed for its development in form of carbohydrates while the fungi in return gets water (from the roots of the plant) and organic matter.

What are the components of the extracellular matrix of bone? Blood? Describe how these different matrices contribute to the different functions of bone and blood?
Answer:
The Bone Extracellular Matrix in Bone Formation and Regeneration
Explanation:
Bone regeneration repairs bone tissue lost due to trauma, fractures, and tumors, or absent due to congenital disorders. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is an intricate dynamic bio-environment with precisely regulated mechanical and biochemical properties. In bone, ECMs are involved in regulating cell adhesion, proliferation, and responses to growth factors, differentiation, and ultimately, the functional characteristics of the mature bone. Bone ECM can induce the production of new bone by osteoblast-lineage cells, such as MSCs, osteoblasts, and osteocytes and the absorption of bone by osteoclasts. With the rapid development of bone regenerative medicine, the osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and osteogenic potential of ECM-based scaffolds has attracted increasing attention.

A trait has two alleles, represented by p and q. If p = 0.89, what is q?
Answer: 0.11
Explanation:
According to the Hardy-Weinberg principle, it's stated that the sum of the two alleles must be 1.
In this case, we've been given that a trait has two alleles, represented by p and q and p is given as 0.89, then the value of P will be:
p + q = 1
q = 1 - p
q = 1 - 0.89
q = 0.11
Therefore, q is 0.11

The hay included as part of the culture medium provided a food source for bacteria. Bacteria are a good food source for some types of protists.
a. Explain which group(s) of protists would not have survived because they have no way to produce their own food.
b. Explain which group(s) of protists would have survived without this food source.
Answer:
Protozoans → would not have survived because they have no way to produce their own food → HeterotrophsAlgae → would have survived without this food source → HeterotrophsExplanation:
The protist kingdom is composed of two main groups. The principal difference between them is that algae can produce their own food, while protozoans need to ingest other organisms or organic molecules to survive.
Algaes are autotroph Protozoans are heterotrophProtozoans:
Microscopic unicellular organisms, eukaryotic and heterotrophs -predators or detritivores-. Most of them are aquatic free-living organisms, but some species are parasites. They feed on bacteria, other organic wastes, and other microscopic organisms. The phagocytosis process is normally used to ingest the food, invaginating their cell membrane.
Algae:
Eukaryotic micro- or macroscopic organisms. Autotroph and photosynthetic. They might be either unicellular or pluricellular. They use sunlight to synthesize organic matter from water, CO₂, and mineral salts. Unicellular ones can be free-living or associate with others to form colonies. They are part of the phytoplankton and are ingested by heterotrophic organisms. Pluricellular algae do not create real tissues but they compose a tale. The depth at which they inhabit depends on the pigments they produce. All of them inhabit fresh or sea waters.

An environmental microbiologist collects a water sample that contains bacteria that have not contacted the outside world for thousands of years. He uses sterile technique while transporting then back to the lab for testing. To his surprise, they are resistant to ampicillin. Based on your knowledge of bacterial evolution, which of the following statements provides the most reasonable explanation for this discovery?
a. The bacteria are a result of contamination on the way to the lab.
b. The bacteria do not contain 50S ribosomal subunits.
c. Vancomycin is a naturally occurring mineral occuring in the cave water.
d. The bacteria randomly acquired a mutation in their cell wall building machinery.
Answer:
The answer is "Option d".
Explanation:
These genetic mutations in heritage in the genome of the bacterium were referred to as biofilm formation. All those other changes are attributable to some genetic changes during replication. The short term of bacteria and vast quantities of the colony can develop rapidly.
The type of environmental choice then transfers into another generation. Some translations benefit human people and enhance their fitness.
The most logical cause for this finding is Option "D", and although types of bacteria have not been in contact with the outside world for hundreds of years, certain random changes resist penicillin.
In convergent evolution, unrelated species or different organisms evolve similar traits, even though they live in different parts of the world.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Convergent evolution is a type of independent evolutionary process by which unrelated species evolve similar structural features/traits that fulfill the same or similar functions. Convergent evolution generates analogous structures, i.e., structures that have similar functions in organisms that don't share a common ancestor with such phenotypic traits. An example of convergent evolution is the wings of insects (e.g., butterflies), birds and bats. Conversely, divergent evolution is a type of evolutionary process that creates homologous structures/traits in closely related organisms because such features were inherited from a common ancestor.

A 5'6", 210 pound, 64 year old man had a physical exam prior to his retirement for corporate work. His blood pressure was greater than 180/115 mmHg on three separate days (normal blood pressure is 120/80). Further examination showed normal to low plasma renin activity, elevated systemic vascular resistance (SVR), x-ray showed left ventricular hypertrophy and retinal hemorrhage and cardiac output was 7.2 L/min (normal is 3.5 to 5.5 L/min). Recommended therapy was weight reduction to his ideal weight, low salt diet. If these life style changes did not change his condition the following medication will be started in the following order: oral diuretics progress to beta blockers and then to a vasodilator.
Required:
a. What is the diagnosis for this individual?
b. Why is it suggested that the patient go on a low sodium diet?
c. Explain the site and mechanism of action of each of these prescribed medications.
Answer:
Explanation:
a.
The individual should be diagnosed for hypertension or high blood pressure.
b.
It is recommended that the patient should take low sodium diet because when sodium or salt enters the blood stream it increases the amount of water or fluids in the blood stream that leads to rise in blood pressure. The blood pressure increases if we take high salt diet due to which arterioles constrict.
c.
Diuretics- Diuretics are the first recommended therapy in treating hypertension. Diuretics such as thizides , pottasium sparing agents. Thiazide acts on distal convoluted tubule that inhibits Na+ and Cl - symporter. Diutetic removes water from body as urine and loss of salt.
Beta blockers - These are antagonists. They block the beta receptors found on the target cell membrane. Beta blockers slows down blood pressure. Atenolol is the beta blocker used for hypertension.
Alpha1 blocker - alpha 1 receptors helps in smooth muscle contraction and vasoconstriction. Vasodilator increases blood flow in the body that are devoid of oxygen that helps to reduce blood pressure.
angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor - blocks angiotensin converting enzyme that prevents converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II and increases bradykinin levels in the body. These inhibitors helps in lowering blood pressure.

The Osmosis Gizmo portrays a cell (red square) in a solution of purple solute particles dissolved in green solvent particles. Press Play ( ) and observe. Which particles can pass through the cell membrane
Answer: The particles that can pass through the cell membrane are the GREEN SOLVENT PARTICLES.
Explanation:
OSMOSIS can be defined as the thermal movement of solvent (water molecules) through a selectively permeable or semi-permeable membrane from a region of high concentration of the solvent to one where they are in low concentration.
The cell is bound by a membrane called plasma membrane. This membrane is selectively permeable and allows water and certain dissolved solvents to pass through it. As a result, the plasma membrane of the cell regulates the movement of materials between the cell and it's environment.
From the osmosis gizmo, it portrays a typical example of osmotic reaction occuring between a cell immersed in a solution of purple solute particles dissolved in green solvent particles. In order to maintain an osmotic balance between the cell and the solution surrounding it, the solvent (which is the green solvent particles) will move from the region of higher concentration to a lower region through the cell membrane
