You are studying a bacterial strain that is an obligate aerobe. The bacteria can do some fermentation and produce lactic acid as an end product, but normally only when starved for oxygen and can’t survive on fermentation alone. Your rival dumps a chemical into your prize culture. This chemical binds to the first protein in the electron transport chain, locking it into a fully reduced and inhibited state permanently. Describe the predicted consequences of this poison on the function of the following proteins or pathways. In each case, in 1-2 sentences describe: How the process normally works. How the process is affected by the poison initially (as the poison first acts) How the process is affected by the poison in the long term. Glycolysis: Krebs cycle: ATP Synthase: ( In the end, can this bacteria survive in the presence of this chemical? Yes or No

1. "Dr. Meyer wants to study the effect of Kava root on insomnia. She recruits 150 people who experience long term insomnia (more than 4 months experiencing insomnia) and divides them into two groups. One group of 75 individuals takes 125 mg of kavalactones one hour before bedtime. The other group of 75 individuals takes a placebo every day. For the duration of the study, the two groups follow two common guidelines: no added sugars or caffeine intake after 12pm and no screen time an hour before bedtime. Dr. Meyer follows the individuals during four weeks. She collects data on sleep patterns which include the number of hours slept each night and a scale of difficulty to fall asleep scored 1 to 5 (1 = feel asleep right away; 5 = more than one hour awake in bed)."
Answer Following:
What is the independent variable?
What is the dependent variable?
What is the experimental group?
Which is/are Dr. Meyer’s controlled variable(s)?

A plant is placed in a sealed box with sufficient air, water and sunlight for several months. A chemical is added to the chamber that immediately adds electrons to all the oxygen in the chamber. Assume plants cannot perform fermentation. Also remember that gas diffuses freely across membranes and cell walls.
Which of the following is most likely if the plant is left in the chamber
| the plant will die because it will be unable to do respiration |
| the plant will die because it can no longer perform the light reactions |
| the plant will die because it will not be able to go through the Calvin cycle |
| the plant will live because it can perform glycolysis |
| the plant will live because it does not require oxygen fo rmetabolism |
