7.

During the development of a frog's fertilized egg, the following takes place:

A.

Rapidly dividing cells lead to the formation of the "animal pole" in a region of the egg that is rich in amino acids and nucleic acids precursors.

B.

Cells divide more slowly in the "vegetal pole" as they are located in a region of the egg richer in lipids with fewer amino acids and nucleic acid precursors.

C.

In early stages of development, cells are dividing so fast that the embryo does not increase in volume.

D.

All of the above

  1. Find the incorrect description.

    A.

    Light Microscopy — Usually has a resolution of 0.2 µm and a maximum magnification of 1000X. Light goes through the specimen. It usually requires staining of specimens (cells, tissue slices)

    B.

    Confocal Microscopy — Allows visualization of cells in three dimensions because it takes images in optical sections and integrates them using computer power.

    C.

    Atomic Force Microscopy — Similar in principle to light microscopy, but uses an electron beam instead of photons. Enlargement up to 106X and resolution of biological specimens about 1 nm.

    D.

    Fluorescence Microscopy — Excitation light is absorbed by fluorescent probes in the specimen and reemitted at a lower energy, i.e., a longer wavelength.

  1. During titration of glycine with HCl, what is the proportion of +H3N–CH2–COO /+H3N–CH2–COOH at pKa1?

    A.

    75%/25%

    B.

    0%/100%

    C.

    50%/50%

    D.

    25%/75%

  1. Consider the compound pairs below:

    1. HCHO, CH3CHO (formaldehyde, acetaldehyde)
    2. CH4, CH3CH3 (methane, ethane)
    3. HCOOH, CH3COOH (formic acid, acetic acid)
    4. CH3OH, CH3CH2OH (methanol, ethanol)
    5. CO2, CO (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide)

    What is their correct order, from the most oxidized to the most reduced?

    A.

    v > iii > i > iv > ii

    B.

    i > iv > ii > v > iii

    C.

    i > ii > iii > iv > v

    D.

    v > iv > iii > ii > i

I. State-space Modelling and Transfer Function of Ideal Buck Converter

1. Write the AC state-space for an ideal Buck Converter under CCM, given
the state-variables iL^(t) and vc^(t),
input variables d^(t) and vs^(t), and
output variables iL^(t) and vc^(t).

2. Create the state-space model in Matlab using R=5/3 ohms, L=10 uH, C=242 uF, Vs=Vin= 20 V, Vo = 5 V, D=5/20

3. Extract the transfer functions from the state-space model.

House prices: Data from the National Association of Realtors indicate that the mean price of a home in Denver, Colorado, in December 2016 was 366.5 thousand dollars. A random sample of 50 homes sold in 2017 had a mean price of 396.3 thousand dollars. a. Assume the population standard deviation is σ = 150. Can you conclude that the mean price in 2017 differs from the mean price in December 2016? Use the α = 0.05 level of significance. b. Following is a boxplot of the data. Explain why it is not reasonable to assume that the population is approximately normally distributed. c. Explain why the assumptions for the hypothesis test are satisfied even though the population is not normal.
