On April 26, 1986, Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station in Ukraine exploded, releasing radioactive isotopes into the air. The majority of the isotopes that were released and spreading thousands of miles were of the element iodine. As a class, discuss what endocrine glands would be most affected and how it would become apparent in the nearby population.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In the given case, the thyroid gland will be affected the most due to the exposure of the element iodine. For the synthesis of thyroid gland hormone, T3 and T4 iodine is required. As the exposure of the radioactive iodine element is taking place, therefore, it will result in the deterioration of the thyroid gland. Radioactive iodine is generally used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.  

However, in normal individuals, the exposure of the radioactive iodine element results in a decrease in the level of thyroid hormones below the normal level due to the destruction of the thyroid cells. The symptoms seen can be neck tenderness, swollen salivary gland, and loss in body weight.  

Answer 2

The thyroid gland will be mostly affected in this case. The element Iodine is

the major precursor which is involved in the formation of two hormones.

Thyroid hormonesTriiodothyronine (T3)Thyroxine (T4).

When an individual is exposed to radioactive iodine , it alters the production

of the hormones which leads to series of effects such as:

Decreased metabolismLow body weightGoitre etc.

You have been assigned a DNA stretch. What is the complementary strand when you replicate the template

Answers

Answer:

The complementary strands of a DNA are read in the opposite direction to one another

Explanation:

A DNA strand/stretch can be represented with a number of bases. The bases in a DNA strand are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G). The Adenine can bind to Thymine (and vice-versa) while the Guanine can bind to Cytosine (and vice versa). These bonded bases are called "base pairs".

Complementary DNA strands are read in opposite direction to one another. Each end of a DNA strand is either a 5' end or a 3' end. Hence, if one strand runs from the 5' to 3' end, the complementary strand will run from the 3' to 5'. Thus, they are represented "on paper" the way they run.

For example,

If the DNA strand assigned is AGTCTAG running 5' to 3', the complementary strand will be CTAGACT (starting from the 3' end) and NOT TCAGATC (which starts from the 5' end)

Taxonomists today tend to group organisms into the same category based on similar what?

Answers

Answer:

characteristics

Explanation:

oranisms are grouped based on shared characteristics

Taxonomists today tend to group organisms into the same category based on their evolutionary history and shared ancestry, as explained in Option A, as this allows taxonomists to construct more accurate and detailed phylogenetic trees.

What is taxonomy?

The field of taxonomy is concerned with the classification of living organisms based on their shared characteristics, the aim of taxonomy is to group organisms in a way that reflects their evolutionary history and to provide a standardized system of naming, while earlier taxonomists relied on morphological characteristics, such as the physical appearance of an organism, but modern taxonomists instead use molecular and genetic data to group organisms into categories.

Hence, taxonomists today tend to group organisms into the same category based on their evolutionary histories and shared ancestry, as explained in Option A.

HEEELLLPPP PLSS!!! Compare and contrast open, closed, and isolated systems. Be sure to discuss the exchange of energy and exchange of matter, and provide at least one example of each.

Answers

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

An open system is a type of thermodynamic system in which energy and matter are being exchanged between the system and the surrounding. It is like boiling soup in an open pot. The opening allows for the addition of materials (matters) into the soup and energy is exchanged through the heating. A good example is found in biological organisms. They consume matters and exchange energy with the environment by carrying out work.

A closed system is a type of system in which there is no exchange of matter between it and the environment. However, there is an exchange of energy. It is like boiling water in a closed pot. Nothing can be added into the pot due to the closure but energy can be transferred through the heating of the pot.

An isolated system allows for neither energy nor matter exchange with the surrounding. It is like a closed food warmer that allows for nothing to enter or leaves it.

Answer: Open systems are energy that can be transferred between the system and its surroundings. Close systems are systems that do not transferred to its surroundings. Isolated systems is a thermodynamic system which cannot exchange either energy or matter from outside its boundaries of the system.

The original name for Asian Homo erectus was Group of answer choices Homo rudolfensis. Australopithecus. Paranthropus. Pithecanthropus.

Answers

Answer: Pithecanthropus erectus.

Explanation:

Between 1891 and 1892 Eugène Dubois believed he had found the "missing link", hypothesized by Ernst Haeckel, when he discovered some loose teeth, a skull cap and a femur - very similar to that of modern man - in the excavations he was carrying out in Trinil, located on the island of Java, Indonesia. Homo erectus erectus was the first specimen of Homo erectus to be discovered.  Dubois first named it Anthropopithecus erectus and then renamed it Pithecanthropus erectus. The name Homo erectus means in Latin "erect man", wich means, "standing man", whereas Pithecantropus erectus means "standing ape-man".

So, Dubois published these findings as Pithecanthropus erectus in 1894, more popularly known as "Java Man" or "Trinil Man". In the 1930s the German palaeontologist Ralpf von Koenigswald obtained new fossils, both from Trinil and from new locations such as Sangiran and in 1938 von Koenigswald identified a magnificent Sangiran skull as "Pithecanthropus". It was not until 1940 that Mayr attributed all these remains to the genus Homo (Homo erectus erectus).

Explanation:

An anticodon is a trinucleotide sequence localized in the transport RNA (tRNA) that binds via complementary base pairing to the codon in the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis (translation). Thus, the tRNA anticodon binds with its complementary three-letter mRNA codon during translation in order to add a specific amino acid to the growing protein. Generally, the anticodon sequence positions 34–36-nt of the tRNA that reads its cognate mRNA codon sequence via Watson–Crick base pairing.

Describe Dr. Vellend's unifying theory of ecological communities (the factors that determine community structure). Where do concepts like competition, predation, habitat suitability, disease and parasitism, and disturbance (most of what we covered this semester) fit into his theory

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Community ecology is a discipline that studies the organism's communities and the manner in which populations of species interact with each other within a particular habitat. Mark Vellend is an eco-evolutionist that developed a theoretical framework of ecological communities from a unified functional perspective. This theory is based on four forces of evolutionary biology: selection, drift, dispersal and speciation. This theory is used to explain how species interactions including parasitism, competition and predation may influence population fluctuations. On the other hand, this theoretical framework can also be used to understand how colonization, disturbance and habitat suitability components alter the dynamics of interacting species.

Intrinsic factor A. increases gastric motility. B. causes the release of stomach acid. C. facilitates the absorption of vitamin B12. D. protects the stomach lining from the effects of stomach acid. E. stimulates the synthesis of DNA.

Answers

Answer:

C. facilitates the absorption of vitamin B12.

Explanation:

The Intrinsic factor is a substance that is produced by the stomach and it has the important function of producing vitamin B12 which is necessary for life. Vitamin B12 is used in the production of mature red blood cells. It also improves the function of the nervous system. The production of this intrinsic factor is a very vital role of the stomach because, in the absence of a stomach, for example, in the case of a gastrectomy, a person can only survive if he is given injections of Vitamin B12.

The stomach also serves as a holding center for food and eventually delivers the food to the small intestine and the duodenum.

It does not show the reactants needed for the reaction. It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps. It does not show the number of molecules required to produce glucose.

Answers

Answer:

C: It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique process carried out by the cells of autotrophic organisms. It is the process whereby they synthesize their own food in form of sugars (glucose) in the presence of sunlight. Ideally, the photosynthetic process makes use of carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H20) in the presence of light energy (from sun) to produce glucose sugar (C6H12O6) and oxygen (02). The general photosynthetic equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H20 + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2

However, the process is not as simple as portrayed as it involves many separate steps that collectively forms the photosynthetic product (glucose). Photosynthesis occurs in two major stages namely: light stage and light independent stage, which in turn consists of series of reactions that forms the products.

Therefore, the equation attached to this question describes photosynthesis but It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.

Answer:

C: It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.
