Answer:
The goal of disinfection of public water supplies is the elimination of the pathogens that are responsible for waterborne diseases. The transmission of diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, cholera, salmonellosis, and shigellosis can be controlled with treatments that substantially reduce the total number of viable microorganisms in the water.
While the concentration of organisms in drinking water after effective disinfection may be exceedingly small, sterilization (i.e., killing all the microbes present) is not attempted. Sterilization is not only impractical, it cannot be maintained in the distribution system. Assessment of the reduction in microbes that is sufficient to protect against the transmission of pathogens in water is discussed below.
Chlorination is the most widely used method for disinfecting water supplies in the United States. The near universal adoption of this method can be attributed to its convenience and to its highly satisfactory performance as a disinfectant, which has been established by decades of use. It has been so successful that freedom from epidemics of waterborne diseases is now virtually taken for granted. As stated in Drinking Water and Health (National Academy of Sciences, 1977), "chlorination is the standard of disinfection against which others are compared."
However, the discovery that chlorination can result in the formation of trihalomethanes (THM's) and other halogenated hydrocarbons has prompted the reexamination of available disinfection methodology to determine alternative agents or procedures (Morris, 1975).
The method of choice for disinfecting water for human consumption depends on a variety of factors (Symons et al., 1977). These include:
its efficacy against waterborne pathogens (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths);
the accuracy with which the process can be monitored and controlled;
its ability to produce a residual that provides an added measure of protection against possible posttreatment contamination resulting from faults in the distribution system;
the aesthetic quality of the treated water; and
the availability of the technology for the adoption of the method on the scale that is required for public water supplies.
Economic factors will also play a part in the final decision; however, this study is confined to a discussion of the five factors listed above as they apply to various disinfectants.
The propensity of various disinfection methods to produce by-products having effects on health (other than those relating to the control of infectious diseases) and the possibility of eliminating or avoiding these undesirable by-products are also important factors to be weighed when making the final decisions about overall suitability of methods to disinfect drinking water. The subcommittee has not attempted to deal with these problems since the chemistry of disinfectants in water and the toxicology of expected by-products have been studied by other subcommittees of the Safe Drinking Water Committee, whose reports appear in Chapter III of this volume (Chemistry) and Chapter IV (Toxicity) of Drinking Water and Health, Vol. 3.
Organization of the Study
The general considerations noted in the immediately following material should be borne in mind when considering each method of disinfection. Available information on the obvious major candidates for drinking water disinfection—chlorine, ozone, chlorine dioxide, iodine, and bromine—is then evaluated for each method individually in the following sections. Other less obvious possibilities are also examined to see if they have been overlooked unjustly in previous studies or if it might be profitable to conduct further experimentation on them. Disinfection by chloramines is dealt with in parallel with that effected by chlorine because of the close relationship the former has to chlorine disinfection under conditions that might normally be encountered in drinking water treatment.

Explanation:
Proteins in the cell membrane have many functions. Which type of protein would be used for cell recognition and as a receptor? A. Pore proteins B. Endoplasmic proteins C. Glycoproteins D. Integral proteins
Answer:
C. glycoproteins
Explanation:
Glycoproteins are proteins containing glycans (oligosaccharide carbohydrates) attached to amino acid side chains. These oligosaccharides are attached to the amino acid chain by a posttranslational modification referred to as glycosylation, a modification generally found in extracellular regions. Glycosylation refers to the chemical reaction in which a glycosyl donor (i.e., the carbohydrate) is attached to a functional group in the protein. The glycosylation sites play distinct functional roles for both cell interactions and cell recognition. Moreover, glycosylation sites are also essential for substrate recognition by an enzyme. For example, secreted cytokines are glycosylated, which is required for their binding to receptors.
What do nitrifying bacteria do?

What results if a broken chromosomal fragment becomes reattached as an extra segment to a sister or non-sister chromatid? A Duplication B Inversion C Polyploidy D Nondisjunction
Answer:
The correct answer is option A "Duplication".
Explanation:
Chromosomal duplication is defined as a type of rearrangement of genetic material at which extra copies of a DNA fragment are created. In this case if a broken chromosomal fragment becomes reattached, this fragment will represent an extra copy, and therefore the resultant genetic material is considered a chromosomal duplication.

While performing an experiment, it is important to:
a. change the control setup
b. test many different variables at the same time
c. reach a conclusion
d. record observations and measurements
Answer:
D
Explanation:
While performing an experiment, it is important to record observations and measurements, as in Option d. Option d is correct regarding the facts of the experiments, while the others are wrong.
What is an experiment?The experiment is carried out to observe the hypothesis, and in this process, a control set-up is taken whose value or result is already known, and the variables are taken and compared with the control. The controls set should never change in the experiment because the variables are tested with reference to them, and the measurements and observations of the experiment should be taken into consideration to prove the hypothesis. All the variables should not be tested at once because if this is done, it would introduce error into the experiment, and not all the experiments are done to get the conclusion.
Hence, while performing an experiment, it is important to record observations and measurements, as in Option d.

Ultra-high-temperature sterilization effectively reduces microbes that cause spoilage. removes only mesophilic microbes. reduces microbes that cause disease. removes all microbes that cause diseases or spoilage. reduces microbes that cause disease or spoilage.
Answer:
kills all microbes that cause disease or spoilage.
Explanation:
There are different methods of sterilization, such as ultraviolet radiation, autoclave mechanisms, etc.
The sterilization mechanisms eliminate the microorganisms completely, thus generating sterile surfaces.
These mechanisms are used with surgical instruments, the operating room environment.
The autoclave method is the most widely used today due to its economical price, its ease of use and its practicality.
Sterilization methods must be strictly controlled with pilot or test microbiological cultures to be able to corroborate that these mechanisms function correctly, since otherwise they could trigger strong pathologies due to cross contamination.

13. List 4 safety symbols that would be seen if you are working with a material that is biohazard, such as bacteria.
Answer:
1. Skull and crossbones
2. A triangle (commonly painted colour red or yellow) with an exclamation sign inside.
3. biohazard symbol
4. A radiation sign in the form of a triangle, having other little image descriptions inside.
Explanation:
Note that a biohazard material refers to dangerous substances of biological (living) nature that can pose a threat to humans. Thus, safety symbols try as much as to draw attention to the descriptions used.
For example, skull and crossbones and biohazard symbols are used to indicate that a material that is biohazard, such as bacteria could result in the death of a person.

Answer:
The correct answer is option : d. evolution.
Explanation:
Change in the heritable traits or characteristics of population of a organism over time by the adaption or changes in genes of such population over successive generation is known as the evolution.
These changes that cause the evolution of the biological population is caused by the process of adaption through natural selection that is the ability of the passing beneficial genes from parent to offspring.
Thus, the correct answer is option D. evolution.
