1. A week after returning from a backpacking trip, four teenagers developed nausea and severe diarrhea. All had consumed untreated water from a stream which doctors concluded was infested with the organism, Giardia. Think about the symbiotic relationships that you studied in this unit. What type of relationship exists between the teens and the organism?
2. As humans burn fossil fuels for energy, the percent of carbon stored in fossils is reduced while the carbon in the atmosphere is increased. If green plants are also being removed, how might the carbon cycle and greenhouse effect be influenced?
3. How are decomposers critical to the carbon cycle?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
1) The relationship that exists between the teens and the organism (Giardia) is Parasitism. Because in such symbiotic relationship one species (the parasite-Giardia) benefits while the other species (the host- the teens) is harmed.
2) Plants remove Carbon dioxide (a major green house gas) from atmosphere during photosynthesis. But, if plants are also being removed with increase in use of fossil fuels, the CO2 that escapes the fossil fuels will remain in the atmosphere for longer as there are not enough plants to "suck" them back into a stored form of Carbon. Carbon Dioxide increases green hourse effect thus green house effect will increase and earth's temperature might rise due to this.
3) Without decomposers we would not be able to continue the carbon cycle because we could not release the stored carbon from plants and animals into the atmosphere. Decomposers break down dead material from organism and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where it's available to plants for photosynthesis. Without them, we could not recycle nutrients or carbons in our ecosystem and thus, they are critical for the carbon cycle.

5. Shawn has a hypothesis that fungicides harm bee development. Using what you now know, describe an experiment to test Shawn’s hypothesis. Be sure your response includes what data should be collected and how you would collect it.
Answers
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, the fungicides harm bee development by causing changes in behavior, immune health, and reproduction etc. For verifying this hypothesis, we have to take two environments, in one environment fungicides are applied to the plants while on the other environment, there is no fungicide applied to the plants. Th result shows that the bees are affected and act abnormal where fungicides are applied as compared to those bees which are normal in behaviour and other features.

Yes, it is possible because, if the sperm from the male goes into the egg of the female it can cause the female to get pregnant by that male. And its very rare for the female not to get pregnant after having inter course with the male. That's only if they had unprotected sex.

When body temperature increases, thermoreceptors are stimulated and send nerve signals to the CNS. The CNS sends motor signals to sweat glands, which attempt to reduce body temperature. This is an example of a __________ reflex.a. organ.b. stretch.c. withdrawal.d. visceral.
Answers
Answer:
d. visceral.
Explanation:
The visceral reflex is one that happens autonomously in the body, aiming to maintain the balance of the body through quick responses to some specific impulses. An example of a visceral reflex is the reduction in body temperature with the release of sweat from the sweat glands.
The visceral reflexes are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, using the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
What is rcbL, and why is it a particularly useful molecule for studying evolutionary relationships in plants and green algae
Answers
Answer:
RBCL denotes for 'rubisco protein.' It is characterized as 'a plant enzyme which catalyzes both the fixing of carbon dioxide found in atmosphere during photosynthesis and the reverse process of photorespiration.' It plays a very significant role in studying, as well as, in evaluating relations associated with phylogenetics in plants primarily along with green algae as it assists them to produce energy molecules by using carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It has therefore been the key factor behind a number of organic carbon that is discovered in our surrounding biosphere.

Methylene blue can be used to stain DNA because it: (2 pts) forms ionic bonds with DNA changes the pH and therefore the structure of DNA makes DNA electron dense is an effective chemical fixative for cells is none of the above
Answers
Answer: Methylene blue can be used to stain DNA of a cell because it (forms ionic bonds with DNA).
Explanation:
To examine the components of a cell usually under a microscope, a stain or dye is being used to provide a clear and defined view of the area under study.
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of a cell which contains the hereditary information of the cell is located in the nucleus.
Methylene blue is a type of stain used by biologists which helps them view microscopic life in brilliant color. It is a cationic stain (positively charged blue dye); and binds to negatively charged parts of the cells, such as nucleus (DNA) and RNA in the cytoplasm (with lower affinity).
When DNA of a cell comes in contact with methylene blue on a slide, their opposite charges attract, causing methylene blue's "rings" to slide in between the "rungs" of the DNA "ladder." As a result, a rich blue stain that identifies the location of the cell nucleus can be observed. This produces a photosensitive reaction which can then be viewed under the microscope.
Therefore is can be used to stain the DNA of cell because it forms ionic bonds with DNA.

130 and 14C are isotopes of 12C, which has 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons. What is the arrangement of subatomic particles in 14c?
A. 6 electrons, 7 protons, and 6 neutrons.
Answers
The correct answer is C. 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 8 neutrons.
Explanation
An isotope is a type of atom that is characterized by having a nucleus with a different number of neutrons. Additionally, isotope atoms are those that have the same number of protons in the nucleus (in the case of carbon 6 protons), but different mass numbers. In the case of the isotope of carbon, it has 8 neutrons (2 more neutrons than the regular carbon) and 6 protons in the nucleus, that is, that its mass is 14 (6 protons + 8 neutrons equals 14). According to the above, the correct answer is C.
the prime mover of inspiration is the blank during normal quiet breathing expiration is a passive process as this muscle relaxes into its original dome shape. provide conditions when expiration becomes an active process or forced. explain
Answers
Answer:
The prime agonist of inspiration is the diaphragm muscle.
The conditions when expiration becomes an active process is : Emphysema, Pneumonia, Bronchitis.
-Expiration is the passive process as there is elastic recoil of lungs following inspiration without contraction of any muscles.
-The elastic fibers in alveoli are damages or filled with mucus and fluid in the disease such as conditions such as emphysema or pneumonia.
-Elastic recoil of lungs.
-Hence, muscle contraction is required to forcefully exhale the air from lungs. Internal intercostal muscles contract to pull the ribs downward and remove air from the lungs.
You isolate a variant of the Hfr parent in question 6 that only shows recombination of the his+ and trp+ genes. The cross was ( HFR lac+, gal+, trp+, his+, strr X F- lac-, gal-, trp-, his-, strs ). This strain most likely:_________.
a. Contains an F' his+ trp
b. Has become F-
c. Contains an Hfr translocation
d. No longer mates as a merry diploid
e. Not enough information is given
Answers
Answer:
The correct answer is - b. has become F-.
Explanation:
In the case of the cross of two different strains, some genetic material moves to the F- strain from the Hfr strain, but due to genome size, it's not possible that all the genes can pass into a single bacterium.
Instead of complete transfer, each individual F- cell gets a different and random subset of genes from the Hfr. There is no translocation and F' does not contain his+ trp+.
