Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

The slope of regression in species-area relationship predicts species richness of an area. It indicates the dependency of species richness on the area as higher slope reflects higher dependency of the area. Taking into account of a large area, such as country, the slope is almost linear with the area. For a smaller area, lower slope value indicates independence of species richness over the area.

Cyanobacteria are single-celled organisms with the capacity to fix nitrogen, N2. Some cyanobacteriacooperatively aggregate as filaments, and heterocysts may form at intervals along the filament between a pair of vegetative (actively growing) cells. Heterocysts are specialized cells that express certain genes when nitrogen becomes limiting. The nitrogenase complex converts the nitrogen in N2 into NH3 (ammonia). This enzyme functions only under anaerobic conditions that are, in part, enforced by an O2 barrier surrounding the cytoplasm of the heterocyst, as shown belowA. Other modifications displayed in the diagram maintain an anaerobic state and synthesize ammonia from N2. Identify four modifications of vegetative cells, either by their addition to or omission from the heterocyst. Refine the representation by drawing a line between each of thethree numbered circles and the feature.B. Further refine the representation by providing a brief description of the role of each modification in either regulating oxygen or synthesizing ammonia. The Krebs cycle in prokaryotes and eukaryotes differs. In prokaryotes, the Krebs cycle occurs in the cytoplasm and the intermediate 2-oxoglutarate (?-ketoglutarate) is absent.C. Construct a representation of the regulation of genes encoding the nitrogen fixation system using the elements below. The irregular shapes are either metabolites or transcription factors, NtcA, HetR, and PatS. In your representation, label each shape using the names on the left in the figure below. Your representation must account for these observations:

Text: Healthy people can still get sick despite perfectly functioning 1st and 2nd lines of defense (immunocompetent). Why?
  1. A. Pathogens can overwhelm the immune system with large numbers of invading pathogens.
  2. B. Pathogens can possess virulence factors that either inhibit the immune system or allow for immune system evasion.
  3. C. Pathogens can bypass the first two lines of defense by entering the body through a cut instead of a pre-existing normal portal of entry (mouth, nose, etc.).
  4. All of the above (A and B).
