Final answer:
Cyanide poisoning inhibits the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase in the electron transport chain, preventing ATP synthesis and increasing the pH of the intermembrane space due to reduced proton pumping.
Explanation:
Cyanide is a poison that has a high affinity for the enzyme cytochrome c oxidase, which is an essential component of the electron transport chain in mitochondria. The enzyme's inhibition by cyanide prevents the transport of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen, disrupting the electron transport chain and halting ATP synthesis.
As a result of cyanide poisoning, the electron transport chain cannot create an electrochemical gradient across the mitochondrial membrane, which is necessary for ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. Thus, ATP synthesis stops, which can lead to cellular energy deficit and ultimately cell death.
Furthermore, due to the disruption of the electron transport chain, the pH of the intermembrane space would increase as proton pumping by the chain's complexes is halted. This decrease in the proton gradient further prevents ATP synthesis.

Explain how the water cycle removes pollutants from earth’s water
Answer:
During the water cycle, the water on the earth's surface gets evaporated leaving the impurities behind and enters into the atmosphere as water vapor. Thus, the water cycle removes pollutants from earth’s water.
Explanation:
Water cycle is the continuous movement of water on the earth's surface and the atmosphere. Some of the water from the oceans, lakes, rivers etc gets evaporated by sunlight and enters into the atmosphere as water vapor. Also from the processes like sublimation (ice and snow) and evapotranspiration (plants), water vapor reaches the atmosphere. This vapor is then condensed into clouds and later falls back from the sky on to the earth's surface as precipitations like rain, snow etc. During the evaporation, the pollutants (impurities) in the water sources are left behind. Thus, the water cycle removes pollutants from earth’s water.

Why would a farmer fertilizing his field on a hillside concern a fisherman that works on a lake kilometres away?
Answer:
This is due to the farm runoff, or fertilizer run off
Explanation:
Various fertilizers like nitrogen and phosphorus are very essential for plant growth but it also increases the chances of the algal growth in the water bodies when washed away. This happens when intense rainfall occurs and washes away the nutrients and chemicals to the lakes, and many water bodies that has not been taken by the plants. these chemicals and nutrients affects the aquatic ecosystem. Due to toxicity various fishes die, hence a threat to the fisherman.

About three billion years ago, single-celled organisms called cyanobacteria lived in Earth’s oceans. They thrived on the ocean’s abundance of carbon-di-oxide , which they used during the process of photosynthesis. Much later, this process allowed organisms, such as fish, to survive by extracting dissolved oxygen from ocean waters.
Explanation:
Cyanobacteria is the bacteria that is primitive form of bacteria that used to be first organisms even before the present day bacteria came into existence. They were able to do photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria used the huge concentration of carbon dioxide that was mixed with the sea water. This carbon dioxide was picked up by millions of cyanobacteria that converted the carbon dioxide into useful glucose and other products and valuable oxygen. Thus oxygen came in earth and that was used by future organisms for respiration.
Cyanobacteria thrived on carbon dioxide in the oceans and through photosynthesis, they released oxygen, which later life forms needed for survival. Therefore, the first blank in the statement should be filled with 'carbon dioxide', and the second one with 'oxygen'.

1. DNA fragments from a gel are transferred to a nitrocellulose paper during the procedure called Southern blotting. What is the purpose of transferring the DNA from a gel to a nitrocellulose paper
After the previous processes, the DNA is blotted from the Agar Agar gel to nitrocellulose paper. This is done because in the next step, radioactive probe is added to the DNA fragments to make it visible in Xray film.
Explanation:DNA finger printing is a very important process in Forensic medicine as DNA finger printing is the only 100% proof of one's identity.
In DNA finger printing, first the DNAs are taken in Agar Agar gel on one side and restriction endonuclease enzymes are applied that will cut the DNA in particular sequences. These cut pieces are then separated using gel electrophoresis. After the gel electrophoresis, the gel is then blotted on a nitrocellulose paper so that they can be washed and treated with radioactive probes that will get attached with the cut pieces of the DNA and make them visible in Xray film. Then this paper is put onto xray film and the pattern is noted.
Southern blotting involves transferring separated DNA fragments from a gel to a membrane to detect specific DNA sequences with a complementary DNA probe.
Explanation:Purpose of Southern Blotting
The purpose of transferring DNA fragments from a gel to a nitrocellulose or nylon membrane during a Southern blot is to prepare the DNA for subsequent hybridization with a specific DNA probe. This technique enables the detection of specific DNA sequences within a complex DNA sample. The DNA fragments are first separated by size via gel electrophoresis. The transfer to a membrane makes the DNA accessible for hybridization, as the probe cannot effectively penetrate the gel and the gel itself is too fragile for handling during the hybridization steps.
The membrane-bound DNA is then denatured and incubated with a labeled probe that binds to the complementary sequence, if present. After washing away excess probe, the presence of the DNA sequence of interest is revealed by the probe's label, typically resulting in visible bands on the membrane.
Why is genetics different from the other health factors?
Answer:
Other health factors include the social and economic factors, health behaviour and clinical care. These factors are distinct from the genetics of a disease.
A disease can be eliminated and cured if it is not a genetic disease. But most of the genetic diseases cannot be cured and their occurrence cannot be eliminated.
Genetic information is different from other information present on the health charts. Genetic factors involve genes for various health circumstances whereas other diseases may not have a specific concern with genes.
Do some research online to determine what seafood in your state might not be safe to eat and explain what problems are common in your region that arise from eating that particular seafood.
Answer:
In India, in West Bengal, the shrimp found in a particular river were not deemed healthy to be eaten.
Explanation:
All water bodies have their own food chains and ecosystems. So basically in aquatic ecosystems, lot of marine animals are considered edible. The examples are fish, shrimp, prawn, lobster, crabs , etc are cooked and eaten.
Larger fish have a tendency to eat smaller fish. Anything that the smaller fish eats goes into the stomach of the larger fish and gets accumulated. Due to large industries not dumping their waste properly, lot of it falls into the water bodies. The waste contains toxic minerals like lead and mercury which when eaten by humans can cause poisoning.
Lead poisoning can cause loose motions, vomiting, cramps and infection in the abdomen etc.

Order the events that occur during DNA replication
Answer:
Helicase unzips DNA to separate strands. Topoisomerase unwinds the coiled DNA. Primase lays down short RNA strands. Polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands. The new strands are glued using ligase.Explanation:
DNA replication is the process responsible for forming new DNA molecules, through the action of several enzymes and a DNA molecule that will serve as a template for the creation of two molecules.
DNA replication is extremely important and happens whenever the cells go through a cell division process, since each new cell must contain its own DNA molecule.
It is important to note that DNA replication is a process that follows a specific order of steps that are coordinated by the action of the enzymes responsible for replication. The steps occur in the following order:
Helicase unzips DNA to separate strands. Topoisomerase unwinds the coiled DNA. Primase lays down short RNA strands. Polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands. The new strands are glued using ligase.The events at the replication fork include helicase action, binding of single-strand binding proteins, primer synthesis, and synthesis of new strands. If the helicase gene is mutated, the unwinding process at the replication fork will be affected.
Explanation:Helicase action: Helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA at the replication fork.Binding of single-strand binding proteins: These proteins coat the separated DNA strands to prevent them from reannealing.Primer synthesis: Primers, made of RNA, are synthesized to provide a starting point for DNA synthesis.Synthesis of new strands: DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the template strands, resulting in the synthesis of new DNA strands.If the gene for helicase is mutated, it will disrupt the unwinding of the DNA at the replication fork, hindering the progression of replication.

Mitosis is divided into phases.
A phase of mitosis is shown. The chromatids separate from each other and are being pulled to the opposite ends of the cell.
Which phase of mitosis is shown in the diagram?
anaphase
metaphase
telophase
prophase
The phase of mitosis shown in the diagram where chromatids separate from each other and are being pulled to the opposite ends of the cell is **anaphase.** The correct option is 1.
During anaphase, the centromere that holds sister chromatids together splits, allowing the chromatids to become individual chromosomes. These chromosomes are then pulled apart toward opposite ends (poles) of the cell by the contraction of spindle fibers. The movement of chromatids is facilitated by the shortening of microtubules within the spindle apparatus.
The key events of anaphase include:
1. **Separation of Sister Chromatids:** The chromatids, which are identical copies of each other, are separated as the centromere divides.
2. **Movement Towards Poles:** The separated chromatids, now individual chromosomes, are pulled towards the opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers. This ensures that each daughter cell will receive a complete set of chromosomes.
**Other Phases:**
- **Prophase:** This phase involves the condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes, the breakdown of the nuclear envelope, and the formation of the mitotic spindle.
- **Metaphase:** During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the center of the cell, known as the metaphase plate. The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of each chromosome.
- **Telophase:** In telophase, the separated chromatids (now chromosomes) arrive at the opposite poles and begin to decondense back into chromatin. The nuclear envelope starts to reform around each set of chromosomes, creating two distinct nuclei.
**Cytokinesis** follows mitosis and involves the division of the cell's cytoplasm and other organelles, ultimately producing two daughter cells.
In the diagram where chromatids are being pulled apart and moving towards the cell's opposite ends, it's indicative of **anaphase** of mitosis. This phase is crucial for ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic material.

What is the effect of iron levels on rate of cellular respiration?
Answer:
The effects of iron deficiency on cell culture growth, cell respiration, mitochondrial oxidative properties, and the electron transport chain were studied with suspension-cultured sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cells. Iron deprivation considerably decreased the initial growth rates and limited the maximum density of the cells. Under these conditions, the cells remained swollen throughout their growth. The absence of iron led to a steady decline in the uncoupled rate of O2 consumption. When the uncoupled rate of O2 uptake closely approximated the respiratory rate, the cells began to collapse. At this stage, the level of all the cytochromes and electron paramagnetic resonance-detectable Fe-S clusters of the mitochondrial inner membrane were dramatically decreased. Nevertheless, it appeared from substrate oxidation measurements that this overall depletion in iron-containing components solely disturbed the functioning of complex II, whereas neither complexes I, III, or IV, nor the machinery involved in ATP synthesis, was apparently impaired in iron-deficient mitochondria. However, our results suggest that the impairment of complex II resulted in a strong reduction of the overall capacity of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which was responsible for determining the rate of endogenous respiration in sycamore cells. Finally, this situation led to a depletion of various energy metabolites that could contribute to the premature cell death.
Explanation:
Iron levels are critical to the rate of cellular respiration due to their role in hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochromes, which are involved in oxygen transport and electron transfer. Abnormal iron metabolism, like anemia or iron overload, can lead to impaired cellular functioning and influence respiration efficiency. Maintaining proper iron levels supports optimal cellular respiration.
Explanation:
The effect of iron levels on the rate of cellular respiration is significant due to the role of iron in various biological processes. Iron is a critical component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and cytochromes which are involved in oxygen transport and electron transfer within cells. Adequate iron levels are necessary for the efficient functioning of these proteins and hence, support optimal cellular respiration.
Abnormal iron metabolism, such as anemia or iron overload, can affect the cellular respiration rate. Low iron levels can lead to reduced oxygen transport to tissues, affecting ATP production during aerobic respiration. Conversely, iron overload can lead to oxidative stress and damage cellular components, impairing respiration efficiency. Moreover, in conditions like methemoglobinemia, where the iron in hemoglobin is oxidized from ferrous (Fe²⁺) to ferric (Fe³⁺), the oxygen-carrying capacity of hemoglobin is compromised, which can also impact cellular respiration.
Therefore, maintaining normal serum iron concentration and preventing abnormal deposition of iron in tissues are crucial for the proper function of cellular respiration pathways.

Answer:
The alleles I a and I b are the alleles that works for identifying unique antigen.
Explanation:
These alleles are generally found as deposition on the surface of the red blood cells. Again, these antigens are different form made from one protein. The Ia and I b alleles are found to be co-dominant and allele i is recessive. In human beings three different alleles are there, Ia, I b and I. The alleles are nothing, but a form of gene. Many genes are there having different function but are present in the same position. Humans are diploid, hence have two allele, each from one parent it has been inherited.
It is important for us to keep our water supply clean and chemically balanced, so that it is potable and we can drink it. Having the right pH level is a part of this. What pH level should drinking water have
Answer:
The pH level of drinking water must fall within the range, 6.5-8.5 because is neither acidic nor alkaline enough to be dangerous in the human body.
Explanation:
The pH level is an indicator of acid-base equilibrium, and shows whether a substance is acidic or alkaline. The pH scale ranges from 0-14, where a pH value of 7 means the substance is neutral. The levels less than 7 is considered as acidic and the levels greater than 7 is considered as alkaline.
The pure water has a pH value of 7. The normal pH range of surface water systems is 6.5 to 8.5, and that of groundwater systems is 6 to 8.5. According to EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, the pH value of drinking water must fall within the range, 6.5-8.5 .This water is safe to drink as it is neither acidic nor alkaline enough to be dangerous in the human body.
Water having a pH value less than 6.5 is considered as soft and acidic, and it can be corrosive and filled with toxic metals while water with a pH value higher than 8.5 is hard and alkaline, and poses less of a health risk than acidic water but can taste bad and leave scale deposits on dishes, sinks etc.
After injecting the mice with both bacteria, what question did Griffith ask him self
Answer:
Griffith performed an experiment on the mice to test two different strains of bacteria. One of them was virulent and the other was non virulent. The result depicted that the non virulent strain transformed into virulent strain through the process of transformation.
Explanation:
Different mice were injected with different combination of strains. One of the strain was a virulent one, III-S and the other one was II-R which was non virulent. Both the strains were taken from Streptococcus pneumoniae. The following observations were made:
1. In the first mice only simple III-S was introduced. The mouse died.
2. In the second one, heat killed III-S was injected. The mouse survived as the virulent portion was killed.
3. In this one II-R was introduced. Since it was an non virulent strain, the mice did not die.
4. In this he added both heat killed III-S and II-R. The mouse died and this perplexed Griffith. He wondered what had happened since the non virulent form and heat killed virulent form should have not harmed the mice.
Later he found out that the DNA of the Heat killed III-S was imbibed by the II-R form. The bacteria had 'transformed' and as a result the mice died.
what is a renewable resource and a non renewable resource?
Answer:
Renewable and Non-renewable resources are discussed below:
Renewable energy: are those energy that can be used again and again and it re-new after a short period of time. it is generally defined as that kind of energy resources that can be renewed naturally.
Renewable sources of energy can replace conventional sources of energy which produce harmful gasses which is harmful as well as costly.
Non-renewable: resources are those resources which can not be re-use or re-produce it is one-time use only and it takes a long period of time get re-produce,
Non-renewable sources of energy are also not good for the environment burning fossil fuels harm our environment.
Final answer:
Renewable resources, like sunlight and wind, are replenished naturally and are in endless supply, while nonrenewable resources, like fossil fuels and minerals, exist in fixed amounts and can be used up.
Explanation:
Renewable resources are those that can be replenished by natural processes at the same rate as they are consumed by humans. Examples of renewable resources include sunlight, wind, and the rising and falling of ocean tides. These resources are essentially in endless supply and can also be considered sustainable when used in a manner that doesn't prevent future generations from meeting their needs. Sustainable examples include sustainably harvested wood, cork, bamboo, and certain agricultural crops.
Conversely, nonrenewable resources exist in fixed amounts and can be depleted. These resources, such as fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, and natural gas), are formed over millions of years and therefore cannot be replaced as quickly as they are used. Other nonrenewable resources include precious metals and minerals. With the current rate of consumption, resources like petroleum and coal could be exhausted within a few decades or a few hundred years, respectively. Nuclear power is also considered nonrenewable due to the finite nature of uranium and the production of harmful wastes.
Understanding the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources is essential for sustainable management and the development of alternative energy sources, which often utilize renewable resources to replace fossil fuel use.
