English and other European languages have terms for four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. This vocabulary summarizes much of the annual climatic variation at midlatitudes in temperate regions, Are these four seasons useful for summarizing annual climatic changes across the rest of the globe? Look back at the climate diagrams presented in this chapter. How many seasons would you propose for each of these environments? What would you call these seasons?

Researchers have created every possible "knockout" line in yeast. Each line has exactly one gene deleted, and all of these yeast lines have also been measured, expressed as a multiple of the growth rate of the wild type that has all the genes present. In other words, a growth rate greater than 1 means that a given knockout line grows faster than the wild type, whereas a growth rate less than 1 means it grows more slowly. Below is the growth rate of a random sample of knockout lines: 0.68, 0.69, 0.6, 0.77, 0.85, 0.92, 0.65, 0.78, 0.94, 1.03, 0.8. What is the standard deviation of the growth rate of this sample of yeast lines (answer to 3 decimals)?

Texts: All of the following statements about oxidative phosphorylation are true except:
  1. The phosphorylation reactions that produce ATP and the flow of electrons across the electron transport chain can be uncoupled.
  2. Some uncoupling agents can bind reversibly to protein complexes in the electron transport chain.
  3. Complex II in the electron transport chain is also part of the Krebs Cycle (catalyzes reaction 6).
  4. The flow of electrons across the protein complexes in the electron transport chain requires the synthesis of ATP via ATP Synthase.
  5. ATP synthesis via ATP Synthase requires that a proton gradient be established, and this gradient is generated by the flow of electrons across the protein complexes in the electron transport chain.
