You have been employed by a wholesale nursery to set up a new plant tissue culture facility to propagate selected desirable cultivars of ornamental orchids. The nursery has allocated a maximum of $AUD10,000 for you to purchase the necessary materials, and has requested that you prepare a report to the manager for consideration.  

1. What are the materials needed to set up the facility? (E.g. large equipment, small equipment (glassware etc), consumables (hormones, medium etc) etc)

please i want computer typing answer with details and explain

Explain the Bohr effect. How does pH (and pKa) and CO2 affect the binding affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin in the lungs and in tissues? Which of the specific amino acids in the hemoglobin molecule are involved in facilitating the interactions that affect oxygen binding affinity? How is CO2 transported from the tissues to the lungs?

Test 2: Olfactory adaptation

  1. Obtain two smelly objects, such as a bottle of oil of peppermint, black walnut extract, isopropanol, or anything else that has a strong odor.
  2. Press one nostril closed.
  3. Hold one of the smelly objects under the open nostril.
  4. Record the time it takes or the odor to disappear.
  5. Repeat with the other nostril and note the time to adaptation.
  6. Immediately remove the first smelly object and replace it with the second, which should smell very different, hopefully ☺
  7. Answer the following questions:
    1. What smelly objects did you use? How long did it take to become adapted to the first smell in the first nostril? How long did it take to become adapted when you changed nostrils? Was it longer or shorter? Why?
    2. What happened when you replaced objects? Why?

1) Explain, in detail, using analogies, how the human body can be compared to how an army defends itself against enemy invasions. You will want to think of the lines of defence as described in the chapter (external innate, internal innate, and adaptive immunity) and use examples from each line to illustrate your points. Use accompanying words/phrases to compare the body to the way an army operates. If you are not familiar with military strategy and combat, feel free to do some internet research on this topic, to aid your comparison. (11pts.)

2) Use a visual(s) such as a sketch(s), chart(s), or a concept map to assist in your explanation. (5pts.)

3) Briefly explain how the inflammatory response is an example of the immune system maintaining equilibrium and homeostatic balance in the body.
(2pts.)

4) Proper referencing and use of citation where required (2 pts.)

Is good animal welfare complete mental and physical health, or is an animal only experiencing poor welfare if it is experiencing an unpleasant mental state (so even if it has a health problem, if the animal does not feel it, then it does not have a problem of welfare)

• Do we simply ensure that animals have access to an environment that is sufficient to meet their physical requirements, or do we consider their affective state also?   

• We have a number of tools for measuring negative welfare, but if we aspire to improve conditions, shouldn’t we also be identifying ways of maximising positive welfare states?   

• How do we define animal welfare and identify welfare issues in the livestock industry?   

• Use the following table as an example of how you can think about the advantages or disadvantages of each method of animal welfare assessment under intensive or extensive housing conditions. A key concept would be which measures are practical and relevant?

Are the protists a monophyletic group? please discuss this and describe this by drawing a “tree” that would include the diatoms, dinoflagellates, red algae, brown algae, green algae and charophytes. what are the main characteristics of these different groups, i.e., which of these groups have silica in its cell walls? Which has both chlorophyll a and b,which of these is considered in the plantae group but NOT a green plant, etc.?
