The diagram represents a food pyramid. The concentration of the pesticide DDT in individual
organisms at level D is higher than the concentration in individuals at level A because DDT is
A. produced by organisms at level C ingested by
those in level D.
B. passed through levels A, B, and C to organisms
at level D.
C. excreted by organisms at level A as a toxic
waste.
D. synthesized by organisms at level D.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. passed through levels A, B, and C to organisms

Explanation:

DDT is an insecticide that passed through the food chain from one trophic level to the next.

The concentration of DDT increases with the each trophic level in food chain and the amount of toxin increases as passes from A to B, B to C, and C to D where D has the higher concentration of DDT as it is the higher trophic level than A, B, and C.

Hence, the correct answer is "B. passed through levels A, B, and C to organisms".

This question lacks options, options are:

A) cerebral cortex.

B) basal nuclei.

C) sensory pathways.

D) motor pathways.

E) All of the answers are correct.

The correct answer is E.

Explanation:

The cerebral cortex processes and filters its information before passing the most relevant aspects to other regions of the brain. Some of these brain regions, in turn, send information back to the cortex. These loops, known as 'feedback systems', are considered essential for the functioning of cortical networks and their adaptation to new sensory information. Neural circuits must first assess the importance of incoming sensory information and then refine how it is processed in the future. Positive feedback, triggered with the purpose of amplifying the response to the initial stimulus, can be compared to a chain reaction or a vicious circle. Few are the functions regulated by this mechanism; rather it is triggered in pathological situations. It is the system by means of which the organism very rarely regulates any of the bodily functions under normal conditions, making the initial stimulus to be maintained and even increased. This type of mechanism is predominantly present in pathological situations: Its constitutive elements are: stimulus, receptor, afferent pathway, integrating center, efferent pathway, effector and response. The response does not have the ability to satisfy the initial stimulus.

a. the chemical energy of the reactants
b. the chemical change of the product
c. the energy required to the reaction

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Chemical energy is the energy that every substance or chemical have and its not affected by the presence or absence of the enzyme, while the activation energy is the required energy to initiate for a chemical reaction. If the energy of the chemical reaction is less than the activation energy reaction will not take place.

Presence of a enzyme lowers the amount of the energy for the initiating the reaction which is activation energy and the chemical reaction takes place.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

Predict what will happen to the following lung volumes and capacities during strenuous exercise. Assume that you are comparing from a baseline of normal resting respiration.


Lung Volume or Capacity Predicted change from resting baseline : Use Increase, Decrease or No Change

TLC (total lung capacity)
No change
VC (Vital capacity)
IC (Inspiratory capacity)
FRC (Functional residual capacity
TV (Tidal volume)
IRV (Inspiratory reserve volume)
ERV (Expiratory reserve volume)
RV (Residual volume)

Answers

Answer:

During intense exercise:

lung capacity increases

vital capacity increases

respiratory capacity increases

functional residual capacity increases

tidal volume increases

the inspiratory and expiratory reserve volumes decrease as does the residual volume.

Explanation:

Residual volumes decrease because having better lung capacity, better development of the secondary skeletal muscles that collaborate in expiration and inspiration, these are given in a better way, and more effectively.

If these processes take place more efficiently, their potentiality increases and expiration and inspiration move a large current of air into the lungs, thus leaving less reserve airs.

Those people who have increased exhalation or inspiration reserve, have a weak activity of the musculature in the processes and function as "stagnant air" which is synonymous with a lack of physical activity or aerobic capacity.

It is important to clarify that all the above processes are accompanied by an increase in the size of the chest cage

Explain what, if any, is the issue facing DNA polymerase in regards to its 5’->3’ activity when replicating DNA.

Answers

Answer:

The two strands of DNA are replicated in different ways

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process that occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle that consists of making two identical copies of the double-stranded DNA molecule, which subsequently are distributed in the daughter cells during cell division. During this process, DNA polymerase can add nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction, but not in 3' to 5' direction. In consequence, the DNA strand that has 3’ to 5’ directionality can be synthesized directly, while the DNA template strand that has 5’ to 3’ directionality can't be synthesized in a continuous manner and thereby it is created by adding small DNA fragments, which are known as Okazaki fragments (150-200 nucleotides in size).

It is true that in the DNA isolation process, cells are mixed with sodium chloride (i.e. NaCl) because the sodium (Na ) neutralizes the negative charge of DNA.

What is DNA isolation?

DNA extraction is a method of separating DNA from cell membranes, proteins, and other cellular components using physical and/or chemical methods from a sample. In 1869, Friedrich Miescher isolated DNA for the first time.

The ability to extract DNA is critical for studying the genetic causes of disease and developing diagnostics and drugs.

It is also required for forensic science, genome sequencing, detecting bacteria and viruses in the environment, and determining paternity.

Because sodium (Na+) neutralizes the negative charge of DNA, cells are mixed with sodium chloride (i.e. NaCl) during the DNA isolation process. It makes homogenization easier.

Answers

Answer: Option E.

All of these are used by parietal cells.

Explanation:

Parietal cells are found in the stomach and they produced gastric acid(Hcl)..

HCl is produced when water mixed with carbondioxide in the parietal cell to produced carbonic acid which is catalyses by carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid then dissociates into hydrogen ion and carbonate ion.

Parietal cell produce HCl due to histamine (via H2 receptors), acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (gastrin receptors).

Therefore it uses channels, pumps, antiporter.

fur color in mice is affected by a single gene the gene for fur color has two alleles: b that causes dark brown fur and b that causes light brown fur. What is or could be the genotyes of a mouse with dark brown fur

Answers

Answer:

(BB) or (Bb)

Explanation:

Given that (B) allele , is responsible for fur that is dark brown, and (b) allele is responsible for fur color that is light brown, the dominant allele is (B) allele for dark brown fur. Dark brown fur allele would always express itself over the recessive allele, (b).

For a mouse that has dark brown fur, the possible genotype it could have is either (BB) => 2 dominant allele, or (Bb) => 1 dominant allele and a recessive allele. The dominant allele would always express itself even in the presence of the recessive allele.

In the quest to understand the basis of infertility in humans, researchers have identified a mutation in a gene associated with chiasmata. This protein normally acts to promote homologous recombination.Why might a defect in homologous recombination have consequences for fertility?A. The chiasmata halts the whole process of meiosis, if crossover do not form properly.B. Crossover formation is a necessary step in meiosis I to ensure proper chromosome segregationC. A checkpoint requires a certain level of genetic variability for meiosis to proceed.D. Chiasmata are the connections between the centromeres and the centromeres that pull them to each pole of the daughter cells.

Answers

Answer:

B. Crossover formation is a necessary step in meiosis I to ensure proper chromosome segregation

Explanation:

Crossing-over is a unique phenomenon that occurs in the prophase I stage of meiosis I, where non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange their chromosomal segment. The physical point where this exchange occurs is called CHIASMATA. Hence, a mutation that affects the gene associated with the chiasmata will affect the occurrence of crossing over or homologous recombination.

Crossing-over, through the formation of the chiasmata, is responsible for the physical alignment and proper segregation of chromosomes into gametes. Naturally, the chiasmata formed as a result of recombination during meiosis helps ensure that the chromosomes stay together until it is the right time to separate. This way, any chromosomal defect in the resulting gamete is prevented.

However, an error or defect in homologous recombination might give rise to gametes with chromosomal disorder, a condition known as ANEUPLOIDY i.e. missing or additional chromosomes in gametes. This can affect the fertility of the involved human.

A) The repressor will no longer bind to the operator.
B) The repressor will no longer bind to the inducer.
C) The lac operon will be expressed continuously.
D) The lac operon will function normally.

Answers

Answer:

D) The lac operon will function normally.

Explanation:

The promoter area can be described as the area that causes the transcription to initiate for a particular gene. Promoters may be near the genes from which they initiate transcription or they may display multiple scenes upstream. The lock operon works normally because the promoter area can still enable transcription on many base pairs. Detects repression promoter and works normally.so correct option is D) The lac operon will function normally.

If a researcher moved the repressor gene of lac I, along with its promoter; the lac operon will function normally. Option D is correct.

Promotor:

It is the genetic sequence that is recognized by the RNA polymerase to start the transcription.

Here, researcher moved the repressor gene of lac I , along with its promoter.

Therefore, transcription starts, it will express the repressor gene also because repressor gene was moved with promotor.

In meiosis, each centromere has a spindle fiber attached only to one side. In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached to how many sides?

Answers

Answer:

In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached on both side of centromere

Explanation:

In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached on both side of centromere because Spindle fibers move chromosomes during cell division by attaching to chromosome arms and centromeres. A centromere is the specific region of a chromosome where replicates are linked together.

Spindle fibers are active in mitosis and also meiosis and they move throughout the cells and also direct chromosomes to move to where they need to move to.

Spindle fibers function in centromere in mitosis and meiosis by pulling homologous chromosomes apart after they might have been replicated to prepare for division.
