Define susceptibility, resistance, non-specific resistance, and specific resistance in regards to immunity

Exposure to toxic materials can be hazardous to humans. What variables affect the amount of toxic material an organism will be exposed to? What effect do these variables have?

Researchers conducted a cohort study of the association between air pollution and asthma. The

rate ratio was 8.0, when comparing those exposed to high levels of air pollution with those

exposed to low levels of air pollution. Which of the following issues should the researchers

consider when making their study conclusions and when thinking about causality? Choose all

that apply and explain your choice.

a) The rate ratio of 8.0 indicates a strong association, which lends support for causality

b) Strong confounding may actually be causing the strong association seen

c) Other studies of the same exposure—health outcome association reported rate ratios in the

range of 1.5-3.0, less than the rate ratio of 8.0 seen in this study

d) The temporal sequence of the exposure and outcome should be known in order to draw

accurate conclusion.

1. Determine if the alleged father can be the real father of the child. Answer True for Yes and False for No.

Mother is type A, child is type A, alleged father is type B

2.Diploid human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The number of DNA molecules present in human cells during Metaphase of meiosis I and metaphase of mitosis is 92. True or False?

3.Determine whether the alleged father is the real father of the child. Answer True for Yes and False for No.

Mother is type O, child is type O, alleged father is type A

4.Determine if the alleged father can be the real father of the child. Answer True for Yes and False for No.

Mother is type AB, child is type AB, alleged father is type B

Glucose Catabolism

1) Aerobic cellular respiration

• Glycolysis, Citric Acid cycle, Electron Transport Chain etc.

2) Anaerobic Respiration

3) Fermentation

Name the three major pathways for glucose catabolism (on the top ^) and briefly describe them (names of major step, inputs, outputs). For inputs and outputs, consider both carbon-based molecules and energy-containing molecules.  

For each pathway, discuss:

• An example of a final electron acceptors for each pathway

• The relative electronegativity of the final electron acceptor (comparing the 3 pathways)

• Relative amount of ATP made  

• Whether the pathway is complete or incomplete oxidation

• Whether the pathway is aerobic or anaerobic

Thank you in advance :)
