What are two (2) advantages of breathing air, compared with obtaining Dissolved Oxygen from water? (choose two answers)
Air is much lighter and easier to move than water making respiration easier |
Air contains a much higher concentration of Oxygen than water |
Breathing atmospheric air does not require any loss of water |
Air-breathing requires no energy to ventilate the respiratory surfaces |
The reason animals need a continuous supply of Oxygen is to
obtain the most energy from their food. |
make Carbon Dioxide. |
carry out Glycolysis. |
synthesize Protein. |
take in Carbon Dioxide. |
In Exhalation, ______________.
the Diaphragm moves downwards, decreasing the pressure around the Lungs. |
the Diaphragm moves upwards, increasing the pressure around the Lungs. |
the Diaphragm moves upwards, decreasing the pressure around the Lungs. |
the Diaphragm moves downwards, increasing the pressure around the Lungs. |
The process of Inhalation in the Mammalian Respiratory System is by increasing the space around the outside of the lung which decreases the pressure on the outside of the lung and allows air to come into the lung under Negative Air Pressure.

Question 6:
Small colonies are observed at the inner edge of the zone of
inhibition around the oxacillin disk

We performed a final experiment where we determined the tightness of DNA packaging for this gene in wild-type toe cells, and in toe cells in which the Talon enhancer had been mutated as described for constructs g-k. In this experiment we isolated chromatin and determined if an enzyme cuts in the gene very well or very poorly, depending on how tightly packed the DNA is at the site of cutting.
c. Suggest why the ability of an enzyme to cut chromatin at a specific location might tell us about chromatin structure; specifically packing of DNA.
In this experiment, poor cutting gives a 7kb fragment of DNA, while fragments of 4kb and 3kb indicate good cutting of the DNA. The results are indicated below:
Construct DNA fragments observed Chromatin structure
(tight, loose or intermediate)
g 4kb, 3kb
h and i 7kb, 4kb, 3kb
j 7kb
k 4kb, 3kb
d. Complete the table above to indicate the chromatin structure implied for each construct.
