Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Imagine you discover a new human parasite like T. gondii that forms cysts in the brain. You suspect it is altering human behavior. You also determine that it is transmitted through sharing food. In what ways would you predict that it zombifies its hosts (alters their behavior)?
a. It should make them feel sick and rest in bed.
b. It should make them want to host more people for social dinners.
c. It should make them want to prepare meals more.
d. It should reduce their sanitary practices (e.g. washing hands) while preparing food.
e. It should make them want to horde food.
Answer:
a. It should make them feel sick and rest in bed.
b. It should make them want to host more people for social dinners.
c. It should make them want to prepare meals more.
d. It should reduce their sanitary practices (e.g. washing hands) while preparing food.
Explanation:
The options shown above are the only ones that show possible changes in personal behaviors related exclusively to the behavior of a person, who may be suffering from the damage caused by a parasite in the brain. The "e" option does not represent a change in behavior and does not depend exclusively on a sick individual due to the action of a parasite.
As you may already know, the brain governs our body in all factors, for this reason, cysts in this organ can trigger behavioral changes.
Answer: a. It should make them feel sick and rest in bed.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, a generally mild but potentially fatal disease, especially in cats and human fetuses. Cats and other felines are considered their ultimate hosts because the sexed phase of their life cycle takes place there, making these animals the primary hosts of the parasite. The asexual phase of the life cycle can occur in any warm-blooded animal, such as other mammals and birds. Therefore, toxoplasmosis is a parasitic zoonosis.
Parasites invade the cells, forming a compartment called the parasitophore vacuole which form cysts in tissues, especially in the muscles and brain. Because the parasite is inside the cells, the host immune system does not detect these cysts. Antibiotic resistance varies, but cysts are difficult to eradicate entirely. Therefore, T. gondii spreads within these vacuoles through a series of binary divisions until the infested cell eventually breaks free.
Some people have flu-like signs and symptoms, which may be:
Swollen lymph nodesHeadacheFeverFatigueWidespread painIn people with impaired immune systems, symptoms may also include:
ConfusionLack of coordinationConvulsionsBlurred vision caused by intense swelling of the retinaIn recent years, several investigations indicate that the parasite can cause changes in the behavior associated with impulsivity, and personality disorders. So, we could predict it zombifies the host by changes in the behavior, because of the damage caused by a parasite in the brain. It is important to consider that the brain governs the body, and cysts found there can trigger these changes.

Which of the following sequences is correct for the downhill movement of electrons during cellular respiration? A. glucose – citric acid – ATP – NAD+ B. glucose – NADH – electron transport – O2 C. glucose – pyruvate – ATP - oxygen D. glucose – ATP – electron transport - NADH E. glucose – Kreb’s cycle – NADH - ATP
Answer:
B. glucose – NADH – electron transport – O2
Explanation:
This is the sequence from glycolysis in which glucose molecules are split down to pyruvate, to oxidative phosphorylation.
During this process the electrons are released from glucose molecule as it is oxidised multiple times as pyruvate, and other molecules formed subsequently in Kreb's cycle, until the oxidative phosphorylation is reached .
The makes the carrier molecules to be reduced.Thus NAD→NADH,FAD→FADH .
The electrons from above are transferred in hydrogen atoms to matrix by these co-enzymes.Where the H is split to electrons and protons.
The electrons for the ETC, produce the PMF for transporting protons into the intramembrane space.
The concentration of protons generated the electrochemical gradients which is needed to produce energy for for phosphorylation of ADP with Pi to form ATP by ATpase synthase.
The electrons moves as chain,and this is finally accepted by oxygen as the final electron acceptor.

What are the two components of the scientific name of a species in the Linnaean system? Select all that apply. Genus, Specific epithet, Phylum, Family.
Answer:
Genus, Specific epithet
Explanation:
The scientific name was created to establish a standardized language that would allow scientists and scholars around the world to be able to present living beings independently of their native language.
For this purpose, it was decided that the scientific name would be a binomial composition, that is, it would use two names. The first name refers to the genus to which the species belongs, the second name refers to the specific epithet that is the specific descriptor of that species. In addition, the scientific name should be written in italics and have the first initial letter written in uppercase. Ex: Homo sapiens.

Una planta de flores púrpura se cruza con una planta de flores blancas, obteniéndose una descendencia en la segunda generación filial de 50 % heterocigotas, 25% homocigotas dominantes y 25% homocigotas recesivas. (el color púrpura domina sobre el blanco) Diga: ¿Qué genotipos y fenotipos tienen los padres para que se cumpla esta proporción en la segunda generación? ¿A qué la ley que corresponde? ¿Por qué los padres presentan ese genotipo y cuál es el fenotipo que expresan la segunda generación filial? Explique. Demuestre con cruces
Answer:
Los padres son homocigotas y la F1 estará formada por individuos heterocigotas
Explanation:
El cruzamiento entre un ejemplar homocigota dominante P (flores púrpura) y un homocigota recesivo p (flores blancas) para un rasgo determinado por un sólo un gen con dominancia completa producirá una generación filial F1 100% heterocigota. Por su parte, cuando cuando estos individuios cuyo genotipo es Pp se cruzan entre sí, los genotipos esperados en la F2 serán 1 (PP, homocigota dominante): 2 (Pp, heterocigota): 1 (pp, homocigota recesivo). Esta aserción corresponde a la segunda ley de Mendel, la cual es conocida como la Ley de Segregación Independiente.
Scientists are able to reproduce certain plants and animals by cloning them in laboratories. The diagram shows the steps of cloning using tissue cultures. Do you think cloning is a form of asexual reproduction? Explain your answer using evidence from the diagram
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction because there is no fusion of sperm and eggs takes place. the animal which is formed from this process is identical of that organism because it is produced from the tissue of that single animal. in 1996, first mammal is produced from cloning was sheep named dolly at the Roslin Institute in Scotland. In cloning, the egg is taken from female organism and remove the nucleus from the egg then the desired organism cell is taken and fuse with the nucleus with the help of electricity. Then implant this embryo in the body of first organism from where egg is taken and after that the embryo turns into a baby, this process is called cloning.
Answer:
Yes, cloning is a form of asexual reproduction. The diagram shows that new plants form from a single parent plant, which means that the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.

The following is a list of the steps that occur in the production of an auditory sensation. 1. The pressure wave distorts the basilar membrane on its way to the round window. 2. Movement of the tympanic membrane causes displacement of the malleus. 3. Displacement of the stereocilia stimulates sensory neurons of the cochlear nerve. 4. Movement of the malleus causes movement of the incus and stapes. 5. Distortion of the basilar membrane forces the hair cells of the organ of Corti toward or away from the tectorial membrane. 6. Movement of the oval window establishes pressure waves in the perilymph of the vestibular duct. The proper sequence for these steps is:___________.A. 2,4,1,6,5,3B. 2,4,6,3,5,1 C. 2,1,4,6,5,3D. 2,4,6,1,5,3E. 2,5,4,6,1,3
Answer:
The correct answer is option D, that is, 2,4,6,1,5,3.
Explanation:
With the approaching of sound waves, ear pinna mediates it towards the external auditory canal, this makes sound waves to reach the tympanic membrane. This results in the vibration of the tympanic membrane, and as the malleus, that is, the first ear ossicle, which is attached to the tympanic membrane gets displaced.
This movement of the malleus further moves the stapes and the incus. As the footplate of the stapes is associated with the oval window, the movement of the oval window takes place. This movement of the oval window creates pressure waves in the vestibular duct's perilymph. The movement of these pressure waves takes place from the Oval window to the Round window.
At the time of this movement, the pressure wave distorts the basilar membrane on its path to the round window, resulting in the vibration of the basilar membrane and the hair cells situated in the membrane against the tectorial membrane.
The stimulation of the sensory neurons takes place in the vestibulocochlear nerve's cochlear branch due to the displacement of the stereocilia. Post this, information reaches the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe's superior temporal gyrus, and hearing takes place.
Option D is the one that shows the correct sequence of steps in an auditory sensation. In this case, the sequence is 2,4,6,1,5 and 3.
We can arrive at this answer because:
At the beginning of auditory sensation, the pinna turns to the external acoustic meatus, directing the sound waves to the tympanic membrane.These waves provoke an intense vibration in the tipanic membrane, which provokes the displacement of the malleus.The displacement of the malleus causes a movement that also displaces the stapes, the incus, and the oval window.The movement of the oval window causes other waves that press against the round window.This causes the basilar membrane and hair cells to vibrate, causing stimulation of sensory neurons.At that point, auditory information reaches the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe, allowing hearing to take place.

When objects of two different temperature are in contact, what happens?
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
This is because the objects will exchange thermal energy, until thermal equilibrium is reached, i.e. until their temperatures are equal. We say that heat flows from the hotter to the cooler object.
Energy is transferred from a warmer to a cooler object through the phenomenon of heat. For instance, a large pan of lukewarm water will gain heat from a lit match (a higher temperature object) (lower temperature object). Thus, option C is correct.
What change in temperature when object are in contact?It feels warmer in your hands to hold a hot cup. The heat is moving from one object to another, which is what you are feeling. Your hands receive the hot chocolate's thermal energy.
Heat is exchanged when two objects are at different temperatures. Up until the two items are at the same temperature, the cooler object warms up. Always, heat energy moves from a hot object to a cooler one.
The colder end will get energy from the hot end as it passes through the rod. The temperature will eventually equalize across the entire rod. Wearing gloves is crucial when working with hot metal, for this reason.
Therefore, The warmer object transfer heat energy to the cooler object.

Explain why fermentation stops after
a certain time in making
making bread?
Answer:
The yeast die at 140° F
Explanation:
The fermentation process is caused by the living organisms called yeast feeding on the sugar in the dough. As the yeast feed on the sugar they release CO² which causes the bread to rise but once the bread in the oven reaches 140° all the yeast are killed off and the fermentation process stops.
The process of fermentation stops after a certain time in making bread because the organism which carries this process has been killed.
What do you mean by Fermentation?Fermentation may be defined as a process a chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically in the presence of yeast.
During fermentation, the yeast produces excess carbon dioxide due to which the dough of bread swells. But after the completion of fermentation when bread places in the oven or any other warmer temperature, it killed the yeast, and hence fermentation stops.
Therefore, the process of fermentation stops after a certain time in making bread because the organism which carries this process has been killed.
