If the mechanism of resistance to permethrin in a species of mosquito is detoxification by an enzyme, and you inhibit that enzyme in that mosquito, which of the following is true? It will take less time to kill 50% of mosquitoes in that group than in a control group that has not had its enzyme inhibited. It will take more time to kill 50% of mosquitoes in that group than in a control group that has not had its enzyme inhibited. The population resistant to permethrin will also be resistant to DDT, so blocking the detoxification enzyme and then exposing a test group to DDT will result in the same time to kill 50% of the test population. It will take less time to kill 50% of mosquitoes in that group than in a control group where the enzyme had not even evolved.

A gut epithelial cell line that has been genetically engineered to express a common cystic-fibrosis-causing CFTR mutation is accidentally cross- contaminated with cholera bacteria from another experiment. Given what you know of CFTR's role in both disease states, what is a likely outcome? Cl- rushes out of the cells. O CI- rushes into the cells. O CI- levels are unchanged but Na+ is driven out of the cells. CI- levels in the cells are unaffected.
A laboratory in Japan performed a similar experiment on earthworms from different localities of the Japanese archipelago, but instead of linking trypsin activity within worms to anatomical features, they were interested in geographical differences in the ability of the worms to breakdown environmental pollutants using the enzyme polyphenol oxidase. The protocol was similar to the one you used, except that enzyme activity was measured from 100 µl of worm extract. Data obtained are displayed below: Replicate Amount of product liberated over 10 minutes (pmol) Locality Concentration of total protein in worm extract (ug/ml) Hokkaido 1 101 4 87 3 3 107 4 4 88 3 89 Hon-shu 1 126 2 120 3 156 4 4 153 5 119 4 Кyu-shu 1 103 4 2 99 3 94 4 108 3 110 Okinawa 1 88 3 2 90 4 3 96 6. 4 100 112 3 From the data in the table, calculate the specific activity of polyphenol oxidase (in units of umol/min/mg protein) from each locality, presenting the data as mean + standard error (n=5).

Some people have a genetic predisposition for developing priondiseases. Examples are described in Table 25.6. In the case ofGerstmann-Straüssler-Scheinker disease, the age of onset istypically 30–50 years, and the duration of the disease (whichleads to death) is about 5 years. Suggest a possible explanationwhy someone can live for a relatively long time withoutsymptoms and then succumb to the disease in a relativelyshort time.
In a study on the ecological impact of malarial infection in the lizard Scelopons occidentalis, researchers caught 15 lizards with the malarial parasite Plasmodium and 15 without. Researchers measured the distance (meters) each lizard could run in two minutes (as a measure of stamina). The following is the code and R output from the "t.test" function. t.test (x=infected, y=uninfected) Welch Two Sample t-test data: infected and uninfected t = -1.9658, df = 27.239, p-value = 0.05959 alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0 95 percent confidence interval: -10.9523489 0.2323489 sample estimates: mean of x mean of y 26.87333 32.23333 The confidence interval includes the value of 0, therefore we conclude that: a. The difference between the treatment and the placebo is positive b. There is no difference between the treatment and the placebo OC. The difference between the treatment and the placebo is negative Od. There is a difference between the treatment and the…
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. In the mid-1990s, researchers discovered an enzyme in HIV called protease. Once the enzyme's structure was known, researchers began looking for drugs that would fit into the active site and block it. If this strategy for stopping HIV infections were successful, it would be an example of what phenomenon? [Select the best answer.] vaccination allosteric regulation noncompetitive inhibition competitive inhibition poisoning
In addition to the many pharmaceutical products available to treat various diseases, there are also many “natural remedies” that may treat the same diseases, though they do not have FDA approval. For example, Dramamine was developed to treat nausea, but many tout ginger as an effective remedy for nausea. Despite the potential of these natural remedies, pharmaceutical companies do not invest in the development of these natural remedies to obtain FDA approval. Explain why this is the case, and what might be a potential solution to this underinvestment.
Which statement best describes the principle behind the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) assay used in the assay of subcellular fractions from mung bean seedlings? Question 11 options: SDH oxidized succinate to fumarate, then fumarate reduced DCPIP. Succinate is blue in colour, which is eliminated by its oxidation to fumarate by SDH. SDH produced FADH2, then FADH2 reduced DCPIP. SDH generated DCPIP, then DCPIP oxidized succinate to fumarate.

The pathway shown below is used by a fungus to create Arginine from a precursor starter molecule. A nonsense mutation occurs in the gene that encodes enzyme 2. This fungus is grown on media that only contains the precursor. Discuss the effects of this mutation on:(i) The function of Enzyme 2 (ii) The potential of the fungus to produce Ornithine
Palivizumab is a humanized monoclonal anitbody for the prohylaxis of resporatory diseases caused by respiratory syncytical virus (RSV) Researches added palivizumab ( or anitbody 101F as positive control) to RSV prior to incubation with human cells.
