(05.05 MC) Exposing human subjects to experimental manipulations such as high levels of toxins is unethical. We often use model organisms for this reason. What attributes would you look for in selecting a good model organism for investigating the impact of toxins in humans? A good model organism should be able to be easily maintain in the laboratory, be fast growing, with a fast generation time and be as closely related to humans as possible. Cost is the only consideration in selecting a model organism, since all living things are made of cells anything found will apply to humans. The best choice will must be the very closely related to humans, such as chimps, since anything found in other species will not apply to humans. The most important consideration in selecting a model organism is how the public will feel about doing experiments on that species, so the best choice would generally be a very simple organism like bacteria that people don't care very much about.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A good model organism should be able to be easily maintain in the laboratory, be fast growing, with a fast generation time and be as closely related to humans as possible.

Explanation:

The attributes that should be looked for in the selection of good model organism for investigating the impact of toxins in humans include:

Easy maintenance: The easier the maintenance of the organism, the better for both the research and the researcher. More can be achieved with less effort as opposed to high maintenance animals.Fast generation time: They should be able to grow and reproduce quickly so as not to prolong the experiment for too long. The lower the regeneration time, the shorter the time required to obtain adequate data for the research.Genetical similarity to humans: A good model organism for humans related study must share some similarities with humans at the genetic level. The more the genetic similarity, the more applicable the outcome of the research on humans.

Hence, a good model organism should be able to be easily maintained in the laboratory, be fast-growing with a fast generation time, and be as closely related to humans as possible.

The poles experience 6 months of daylight and 6 month of darnos . The sun is never higher than 23.5 degrees above the horizon . Use one or both of these ideas as evidence to explain why the season are most extreme at the poles

Answers

Answer:

North and South pole are cold as they do not receive direct sunlight. South pole is much colder than North pole. The Sun is always low on the horizon, even during summer and winters.

The Sun only comes up for a few months, that is why both nights and days are dark and cold.

The average mean temperature in summers at North pole is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and in winters its minus 40 degrees. While at south pole it is minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit and in winters it is minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why does anaerobic respiration produce less energy than aerobic respiration?
A. Glucose is only partially broken down.
B. The process takes a lot of energy, and uses most of what it releases from Glucose.
C. Glucose can't be broken down without oxygen, so the body's other energy source,
lipids are used.
D. Glucose can't be used, so there is only ATP.

Answers

Answer:

A. Glucose is only partially broken down.

Explanation:

Glucose can only be partially broken down in the absence of oxygen, and the byproducts of anaerobic vs aerobic lead to different amounts of energy.

At temperatures higher than the maximum growth temperature for an organism:

a. proteins are permanently denatured. membranes become too fluid for proper function.
b. hydrogen bonds within molecules are broken.
c. hydrogen bonds are broken and proteins are permanently denatured.
d. hydrogen bonds are broken, proteins are denatured, and membranes become too fluid.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, hydrogen bonds are broken, proteins are denatured, and membranes become too fluid.

Explanation:

The maximum growth temperature refers to the highest temperature at which growth can take place. Let us take an example of bacteria, it is found that each bacterial species possess a requirement of specific growth temperature, which is mainly determined by the requirement of the temperature of its enzymes. Each of the organism exhibits an optimum growth temperature, a minimum growth temperature, and a maximum growth temperature.  

When for an organism, the temperature goes more than its maximum growth than it results in the dissociation of the hydrogen bonds, denaturation of the proteins, and even the membranes become too fluid. This can even result in the death of the species. However, there are some of the organisms, which can thrive high temperatures known as thermoduric organisms, but they fail to grow effectively at such temperatures.

Independent variable: _______ Dependent variable: _______ If the amount of milk a person drinks increases, the strength of his or her bones will stay the same. Independent variable: _______ Dependent variable: _______

Answers

Complete Question:

Part A: Identifying Variables

Read the following hypotheses and identify the variables.

If the number of cigarettes smoked increases, then the risk for lung cancer increases.

Independent variable: _______

Dependent variable: _______

If the number of sharks swimming in a coastal region increases, then the number of shark attacks on humans will also increase.

Independent variable: _______

Dependent variable: _______

If the amount of milk a person drinks increases, the strength of his or her bones will stay the same.

Independent variable: _______

Dependent variable: _______

Answer/Explanation:

Dependent variables are variables that is dependent on the independent variables. That is, it is the variable that changes as the independent variable changes.

Depedent variable is the main interest if a researcher. It is the variable that is measured in a research work.

In the above given hypotheses, the dependent and independent variables are shown below:

1. "risk for lung cancer" is dependent on the "number of cigarettes smoked".

"Risk for lung cancer" => dependent variable

Number of cigarettes => independent variable

2. "number of shark attacks on humans" is dependent on "number of sharks swimming".

Dependent variable => number of shark attacks on humans

Independent variable => number of sharks swimming

3. Dependent variable => strength of bone

Independent variable => amount of milk a person drinks

Answer:

Lab: Heart Rate  

Part A: Identifying Variables

The dependent variable happens as a result of values/changes associated with the independent variable.

Independent variable: number of cigarettes smoked

Dependent variable: risk for lung cancer

Independent variable: number of sharks swimming in a coastal region

Dependent variable: number of shark attacks on humans

Independent variable: amount of milk a person drinks

Dependent variable: the strength of his or her bones

Part B: Heart Rate

Hypothesis: If I hold my breath for 30 seconds, then my heart rate will

(choose 1) increase/decrease.

Independent variable: holding my breath

Dependent variable: heart rate

Part C:

The heart rate decreases because oxygen exchange in the lungs decreases.

This depends on what you chose for heart rate in the hypothesis. If you said the heart rate decreases after holding your breath, and the results showed the heart rate decreased, then the hypothesis is supported. If you said the heart rate decreases after holding your breath, and the results showed the heart rate increased, then you refuted the hypothesis.

Heart rate can change due to an increase or decrease in activity, moving positions such as sitting and standing, and emotions.

Example: Increase in activity—jumping jacks

Hypothesis: If I do five jumping jacks, then my heart rate will increase.

Test hypothesis. You can use the average resting heart rate from the previous experiment. If you do an experiment with an increase in physical activity like jumping jacks, then your data will reflect an increase in heart rate because the body requires more energy, which requires more oxygen, increasing the overall flow of blood in the body.

Support or refute the hypothesis based on the results. The hypothesis is supported if it aligns with the observed results. The hypothesis is refuted if the results don’t match the statement based on the variables.

Testing more than one variable at a time makes it difficult to interpret the results and support or refute the hypothesis. With one variable, the results can be associated with changes to that variable. To get the most reliable data to support or refute a hypothesis, an experiment should be completed several times to see if the results show the same trends.

Explanation:

When activated, the receptor most likely prompting the production of saliva is the taste receptor. When food enters the mouth, the salivary glands produce the saliva upon the sensation of taste.

Answer:

Taste receptors.

Explanation:

When activated, the receptor most likely prompting the production of saliva is the taste receptor. When food enters the mouth, the salivary glands produce the saliva upon the sensation of taste. The secretion of saliva (salivation) is mediated by parasympathetic stimulation; acetylcholine is the active neurotransmitter and binds to muscarinic receptors in the glands, leading to increased salivation.

Answers

Answer: Phagocyte receptors that detect PAMPs

Explanation:

TLRs or Toll-like receptors, are a family of proteins that are part of the innate immune system. TLRs are transmembranous and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which are groups of chemical characteristics common to certain types of pathogens. Patterns detected by TLRs include lipopolysaccharide, a compound found on the surfaces of Gram-negative bacteria, and double-stranded RNA, which is an integral part of the life cycles of many viruses. These PAMPs are generally important for the survival of the pathogen, so they are well preserved. Activation of these receptors induces inflammatory responses in leukocytes of myeloid lineage, signaling via NF-κB, which is a transcription factor that activates pro-inflammatory genes. Activated TLRs also increase the production of co-stimulatory molecules such as CD80, CD86 and CD40. These proteins, expressed on the surface of antigen-presenting cells, are necessary for the activation of T-lymphocytes by dentritic cells and macrophages already showing antigens in their MHC type II molecules (Major Histocompatibility Complex, they participate in the presentation of antigens to T lymphocytes)

In addition, TLR-mediated signaling on antigen-presenting cells (APCs) plays an important role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses.

Assuming that the fluid comes from a healthy individual, you conclude that the blood vessel from which you have drawn blood could have been ______.

Answers

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with a venule.

Explanation:

A small blood vessel in the microcirculation, which connects the capillary beds to the veins is known as the venules. Various venules combine to form a vein. The walls of a venule are formed of three layers, that is, the inner endothelium formed of squamous endothelial cells, a middle layer of elastic and muscle tissue, and an external layer formed of fibrous connective tissue.  

The size of a venule ranges from 8 to 100 micrometers in diameter and are produced when capillaries come in close association. A venule refers to a small blood vessel that permits the deoxygenated blood high in carbon dioxide and waste products to return from capillary beds to the bigger blood vessels known as veins.

Answers

Answer:

Temporal isolation

Explanation:

Temporal isolation, a type of reproductive barrier caused by variations in the timing of mating receptivity, activity, or fertility, prohibits interbreeding between different but closely related species.

What is the temporal barrier in reproductive isolation?

In biology, temporal isolation is a form of reproductive isolation mechanism that prevents members of closely related species from mating and creating hybrid offspring.

Temporal isolation refers to the situation where two or more species reproduce at various periods. For instance, three different types of orchids live in the same rain forest.

This mechanism arises from differences in the timing of crucial reproductive events.

Therefore, Temporal isolation reproductive barrier will most likely be working against that possibility.

According to Piaget, children have acquired the cognitive skill of conservation when they're able to

Answers

Answer:

The question lacks options, the options are:

A. understand the viewpoint of other people.

B. realize that the term heavy describes an object one way and the term big describes it another way

C. understand that six ounces of liquid in a jar and six ounces in an elongated tube are equal.

The answer is C

Explanation:

Piaget proposed the theory of cognitive development, which talks about how human intelligence is developed. Piaget worked with Children because he believed they played a significant role in the development of cognitive intelligence. Based on his work, he proposed four stages of cognitive development viz: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational and formal operational stages.

However, in the preoperational stage, Piaget described children between ages 2-7 as being in this stage of cognitive development where they are yet to comprehend mental logic. One characteristics of this stage is CONSERVATION, which is the ability to know that changing a substance's appearance doesn't change the properties of that substance. Piaget proposed that Children between the ages of 2-7 lacked this conservative characteristics.

He performed an experiment where he used two beakers with the same amount of liquid. He then emptied the contents of one of the previous beakers into a new beaker with different shape (longer). Piaget was able to notice that Children at the pre-operational stage were unable to understand that the contents of the two beakers (longer one and previous beaker) were still the same despite the beaker has been changed.

Hence, according to Piaget, a child has acquired the cognitive skill of conservation when he/she is able to understand that six ounces of liquid in a jar and six ounces in an elongated tube are equal.
