  • Describe the ecological, economic, and social challenges that can arise when considering a species reintroduction. Note that “social” in this context refers to human societies. The term “ecological” should be used to refer to intra-species or inter-species interactions that don’t include humans.

A biotechnology firm is planning its investment strategy for future products and research labs. A poll found that 5% of a random sample of 1017 adults approved of attempts to clone a human. Use this information to complete parts a through e.

a) Find the margin of error for this poll if we want 90% confidence in our estimate of the percent of adults who approve of cloning humans.

ME=...... (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

b) Explain what that margin of error means.

A.The margin of error is the value that should be subtracted from the 90% confidence level to obtain the pollsters' true confidence level.

B.The margin of error is the width of the confidence interval that contains the true proportion of adults who approve of attempts to clone a human.

C.The pollsters are 90% confident that the margin of error contains the true proportion of adults who approve of attempts to clone a human.

D.The pollsters are 90% confident that the true proportion of adults who approve of attempts to clone a human is within the margin of error of the estimated 5%.

c) If we need to be 95% confident, will the margin of error be larger or smaller?

A. A 95% confidence interval requires a smaller margin of error. Upper A wider interval leads to decreased confidence.

B. A 95% confidence interval requires a larger margin of error. In order to increas confidence comma the interval must be wider.

C. A 95% confidence interval requires a smaller margin of error. Upper A narrower interval leads to decreased confidence.

D. A 95% confidence interval requires a larger margin of error. In order to increase confidence comma the interval must be narrower.

d) Find that margin of error.

ME=...... (Round to three decimal places as needed.)

e) In general, if all other aspects of the situation remain the same, would smaller samples produce smaller or larger margins of error?

A. Smaller samples produce smaller margins of error.

B. Smaller samples produce larger margins of error.

I am doing a project on cancerous cell types and I've already identified 20 kinds, the tissues they effect, and the exact disease they cause. There are multiple other steps to the project that I am struggling with. This involves finding biochemicals (such as lipids, proteins, etc) associated with specific cancer cell types, the metabolic pathways they effect, membrane proteins (such as growth factors) and membrane protein transporters associated with the cancer cell type.

Could someone give me an idea on what databases or websites to search for for this type of information? I don't want the work done for me, just some hints on how I can find this information. I will list the exact instructions our professor gave us below.

----------

Use your Human Cancerous Cells examples from Module I and find if they have some very characteristic biochemical(s) that define the cells.

Describe chemicals that are unique for these cells
Give at least 5 examples.

----------

Use your examples of human cancerous cells and find affected metabolic pathways that identify each of them.

Affected metabolic pathways
Find at least 5 examples from your cancerous cells that have affected metabolic pathways. These examples should have different affected pathways

----------

Use your examples of human cancerous cells and identify possible membrane components that are affected and unique for these type of cells.

Identify affected membrane functions
Give at least 5 examples from your cancerous cells showing affected membrane proteins. These examples should have different affected proteins.

----------

Use your examples of human cancerous cells and identify possible membrane protein transporters that are affected and unique for these type of cells.

Affected transporting proteins
Identify affected membrane protein transports
Give at least 5 examples from your cancerous cells showing affected membrane proteins that are involved in transportation. These examples should have different affected proteins.

You are working in a laboratory where you are investigating pieces of an asteroid that have...

  1. You are working in a laboratory where you are investigating pieces of an asteroid that have been brought to earth. You are taking every safety precaution (hazmat suit etc…) as it is thought that the asteroid pieces contain bacteria-like microorganisms from another planet.

  1. Indeed, when you look under the microscope at the pieces of rock you see tiny bacteria-like microorganisms. These microbes double in number every few hours when you culture them in a liquid broth. You decide to see if the microbes might be toxic to mammals on earth and you inject the alien microbes into mice. The mice die!

  1. You determine that these microbes have surprising biochemical similarities to microbes on earth; they have nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. However, their nucleic acids are slightly different. They have a molecule similar to DNA, but the five carbon sugar has a 2’-OH group and not a 3’-OH group (the RNA-like molecule has both a 2’-OH as well as a 3’-OH, similar to what is found on earth, but nucleotides connect to other RNA nucleotides via the 2’-OH not the 3’-OH). Additionally, the nitrogenous bases of the alien nucleic acids are purine-like (two of them) and pyrimidine-like (two of them) and have the same chemical structure as A, C, G and T, but because of the difference in how nucleotides connect, you call the bases H, I, J and K. You wish to determine the pairing of the H, I, J and K nucleotides of the alien pairs. For example on earth you know that G pairs with C, and that A pairs with T. You want to know the same for your organism and you are inspired by Chargaff. Describe how you could use Chargaff’s approach to determine which bases pair with each other. Describes results that would be ones that could allow you to make a conclusion about base pairing in the alien microbe. (10 points)
  1. You next wish to determine if the alien microbes are similar enough to earth microbes to be capable of transforming non-virulent earth microbes with the genetic material of the virulent strain of the alien microbe. How would you conduct this experiment? Describe the experimental setup and results that would indicate that the chemical constituents of the alien microbes were capable of transforming non-virulent earth microbes into a virulent form of microbe. Be sure to include appropriate controls. (15 points)

  1. You next wish to determine what biochemical constituent of the alien microbe is responsible for the transformation of the earth microbes. You hypothesize that it is either the alien “DNA” or the alien “RNA” or the alien protein. Describe the setup of an experiment that you could conduct to determine which one of the three molecules is responsible for the transformation. (15 points)
  1. Next, you are surprised that the molecule responsible for the transformation is not the alien DNA but rather it is the alien RNA. What would the results be of your experiment (described in iii above) that would indicate that it was the RNA of the alien microbe that was responsible for the transformation of the normal earth bacteria? (10 points)

  1. You find that the RNA-like molecule also serves as the genome of the alien microbe and that it undergoes conservative replication in the alien microbe. Describe the experiment you would do to show this using density gradient centrifugation and using 15N. (10 points)

1. To increase muscle performance, Paige decides to use Carnitine, and protein powders. Discuss why Paige’s use of carnitine and protein powders will not give her an advantage in terms of muscle performance as compared with DJ’s more adequate diet and regular exercise.


2. Question #1 focused on Paige, and DJ; who are not mainly athletes, now, think in terms of those college students who are athletes. Why are amino acid supplements not recommended for athletes?


3. With the idea to improve performance some athletes use anabolic steroids, but why might the use of anabolic steroids actually work against the athlete in terms of enhancing performance?

4. Another common practice for student’s athletes is to take antioxidant supplements, but why do athletes take antioxidant supplements, and what concerns do experts have about them?
