What is the ethical dilemma associated with randomized controlled studies for suspected causes of disease such as cigarette smoking?

a. The prevalence of disease within the study cannot be controlled.
b. The effect of the disease is too detrimental to the health of those involved within the study to allow them to be voluntarily exposed to a suspected cause of disease.
c. Incidence of disease is often determined to be too low to conduct a randomized controlled trial.
d. It is difficult to establish definitive contributory cause even with a high-quality randomized controlled trial.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. The effect of the disease is too detrimental to the health of those involved within the study to allow them to be voluntarily exposed to a suspected cause of disease.

Explanation:

Randomized controlled studies assess the relationship between cause and effect. There are usually two groups in this study. The first group is the experimental group which is exposed to the treatment or intervention to be assessed while the second group is the control group which is given no treatment or given a placebo.

As it relates to the question, the experimental group is exposed to cigarettes to determine the effect of this exposure. This can have an adverse health effect on the experimental group, hence, this is an ethical dilemma.

Why do all proteins given a negative charge prior to electrophoresis?​

Answers

Answer:

The principle for native gels when Coomassie is not added to the sample is that proteins are separated by a combination of size and charge. The charge in general depends on the number of amino acid residues that bear a positive or negative charge at the pH of the gel. So if running the gel at pH from 8.3 / 8.9, Asp and Glu will be negatively charged, Lys and Arg and His will be protonated and have a positive charge. The N- terminus would have a positive charge while the C terminus would have a negative charge. There might be exceptions depending upon the micro environment of each residue. Native gels can be run at acidic pH as well, to give another way of resolving proteins. Smaller proteins migrate faster than larger proteins. Also, quaternary structure is preserved, so a dimer will run as a dimer so the percentage of total acrylamide monomer used is usually lower than what is used for SDS-PAGE, e.g. 7.5% acrylamide

Answer:

14. (a) Pb

15. (d) Al

16. (A) increases

Explanation:

14.

In the reactivity series of metals an element can displace another element from a compound if and only if it is not placed below that metal, as the reactivity of metals decreases when moving from top to bottom- if a metal is placed below Hydrogen it means that it is less reactive than Hydrogen and hence cannot displace Hydrogen from its compound.

All options except A are placed below Hydrogen in the reactivity series, so they wont displace Hydrogen from its compound, but option (a) that is Pb can do so as it is above Hydrogen in the reactivity series.

15.

Al is placed below Mg in the reactivity series and hence cannot displace Mg from its compound.

16.

The reactivity of metals increases down the GROUP.

[CAUTION :- We were talking 'bout REACTIVITY SERIES in the top 2 questions where reactivity decreases down the group, but we're talkin' 'bout GROUPS of the periodic table here, where reactivity increases down the group.]

The size of metals increases down the group causing their valence electrons to drift far from the nucleus so that they can be lost easily. The metals have a property of losing electrons so the more electrons it can lose more will be its reactivity.

Hence, reactivity increases down the group.

Write the events of the human life cycle in the correct order, starting with what happens right after a pair of gametes comes together?

Answers

Answer: Fertilization occurs, a zygote undergoes mitosis, a baby's cells divide mitotically, meiosis produces sex cells that will participate in fertilization.

Explanation:

Incomplete questions, options are:

Meiotic cell division occurs as the zygote develops into a gamete, meiosis produce the sex cells that will participate in fertilization, a baby grows into an adult through uncountable meiotic divisions, fertilization occurs, a zygote undergoes mitosis, a baby's cells divide mitotically, mitosis produces gametes.

1. Fertilization occurs: Fertilization is the union of a human egg and sperm (male and female gametes), which usually occurs in the fallopian tube. The result is the formation of a zygote or fertilized egg, which initiates the development of the embryo. In this way, the genetic material of both gametes is also fused.

2. A zygote undergoes mitosis: The zygote is the union of the egg and the sperm. Each gamete contributes 23 chromosomes to form the genetic material of the future organism. The zygote starts to divide throught mitosis. Mitosis is a type of cell division that generates two genetically identical daughter cells and occurs in somatic cells (all cells in the body that are not gametes). Eventually, it divides into two blastomeres, then into 4, then into 8, and so on during the passage of the zygote along the fallopian tube towards the uterus. Subsequent divisions of the 12 cells give rise to the morula. Then, the blastocyst is generated, which is an embryo of between 5-7 days of development and is composed of a large number of cells that begin to differentiate.

3. A baby's cells divide mitotically: An embryo is a living being in the early stages of its development, from fertilization until the organism acquires the morphological characteristics of the species. In the specific case of the human being, the term applies until the eighth week after conception (fertilization). Cell divisions for development occur by mitosis. In this way, the embryo will grow and develop, forming tissues and organs through growth thanks to mitotic divisions.

4. Meiosis produces sex cells that will participate in fertilization: Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in the gonads for the production of gametes, whereby a diploid cell undergoes two cell divisions, that generates four haploid cells. Thus sperm and oocytes are produced to eventually fuse during reproduction to form a diploid zygote. Meiosis has certain differences from mitosis, since in this type of cell division, the daughter cells created are all genetically distinct from each other and from the parent cell. This is because a crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes to exchange genetic material. This ensures that each gamete produced has genetic variability.

Explain what caused the color change of the peppered moths from light to dark after the Industrial Revolution.

Answers

Answer:

Addaptational changes since they had to adjust to a new environment

The color change of the peppered moths from light to dark after the Industrial Revolution Adaptational changes since they had to adjust to a new environment.

What is  the Industrial Revolution?

During the industrial revolution, the color of bark of the trees became dark. Due to this the predators could easily detect the light colored moths on the dark colored bark of the trees.  

This lead to evolution of light colored moth resulting into dark colored moths through the process of natural selection which made the newly evolved moth population more prominent to the predation attack.  

It became difficult for the predators to trace moth on the tree barks as they became capable of camouflaging against the color of  bark.

Thus, adaptation is the main reason.

When an organism encounters nitrate in its environment, which condition will determine whether the nitrate is used in an assimilatory or dissimilatory manner?

a. low concentration or ammonia
b. low concentration of sulfate
c. oxygen present
d. low temperature
e. oxygen absent
f. high concentration of nitrite

Answers

Answer:

Dissimilatory- oxygen absent

Assimilatory- high concentration of nitrite

Explanation:

In assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium is produced and subsequently incorporated into biomass to build up e.g., proteins and nucleic acids. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is a process for energy conservation, in which nitrate is used as an electron acceptor in the (near) absence of oxygen . Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and nitrate storage in particular are physiological life traits that provide microbes with environmental flexibility (i.e., metabolic activity under both oxic and anoxic conditions) and resource independence (i.e., anaerobic metabolism without immediate nitrate supply), respectively. Such life traits are especially important in environments that are temporarily anoxic and/or nitrate-free and they may have developed as a “life strategy” in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

What is the phase that not all cells enter, but it is a phase where cells are not actively dividing

Answers

Answer:

The phase that not all cells enter, but is a phase where cells are not actively dividing is called the G0 or non-dividing phase.

Answer:

G₀ phase

Explanation:

Some types of cells divided slowly or not at all. These cells may exit the G₁ phase and enter a resting phase called G₀ phase. In G₀ phase, a cell is not actively preparing to divide. It's simply doing its job. For some cells, G₀ is a permanent state, while others may restart cell division given the right signals.

What are three techniques that can be used to show that the electron transport chain is found on the matrix side of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Select all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Generating a Proton Motive Force

The hydrogen carriers (NADH and FADH2) are oxidised and release high energy electrons and protons

The electrons are transferred to the electron transport chain, which consists of several transmembrane carrier proteins

As electrons pass through the chain, they lose energy – which is used by the chain to pump protons (H+ ions) from the matrix

The accumulation of H+ ions within the intermembrane space creates an electrochemical gradient (or a proton motive force)

Step Two: ATP Synthesis via Chemiosmosis

The proton motive force will cause H+ ions to move down their electrochemical gradient and diffuse back into matrix

This diffusion of protons is called chemiosmosis and is facilitated by the transmembrane enzyme ATP synthase

As the H+ ions move through ATP synthase they trigger the molecular rotation of the enzyme, synthesising ATP

Step Three: Reduction of Oxygen

In order for the electron transport chain to continue functioning, the de-energised electrons must be removed

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor, removing the de-energised electrons to prevent the chain from becoming blocked

Oxygen also binds with free protons in the matrix to form water – removing matrix protons maintains the hydrogen gradient

In the absence of oxygen, hydrogen carriers cannot transfer energised electrons to the chain and ATP production is halted

Which of the following requires constant agonist-antagonist muscle contractions?
Core integration
Postural development
Dynamic balance
Neuromuscular strength

Answers

Answer:

Postural development

Explanation:

The agonist muscles are sets of muscles responsible for causing joint motion, whereas antagonist muscles are muscles that directly opposite agonist muscles (i.e., antagonist muscles generate an opposing joint torque to the agonist muscles). In a given movement, agonist muscles exhibit concentric contractions while antagonist muscles show eccentric contractions in order to stabilize the joint. Postural development is achieved by concerted adjustments of dorsal muscles and ventral muscles. The dorsal muscles are activated when the body sways forward and the muscle fascicles shorten. During backward sway, these muscles lengthen, while ventral muscles are primarily activated.

Dynamic balance is the condition that requires constant agonist-antagonist muscle contractions.

The agonist-antagonist muscle contraction is the movement where one muscle contracts while the other muscle is relaxing or lengthening. The muscle contracts are agonist whereas the muscle that relaxes is the antagonist here.

Core integration: In such conditions, the constant movement of muscle contraction and relaxation does not require. It is a specific movement and increased stability of the movements.Postural development: continuous development and growth of postural muscles comprising the nervous systemDynamic balance: It would be the ability to balance in motion or changing positions. In this case, muscles require constant both agonist and antagonist contractionsNeuromuscular strength: motor commands according to the central nervous system to the ability to move in the nervous system, hence it does not require constant muscle movements.

Thus, the correct answer is - Dynamic balance.
