Imagine a microbial cell that normally carries out aerobic respiration has encountered a low oxygen environment and may die if t

he levels do not increase.
a. Describe the key role that oxygen plays for this microorganism in the aerobic respiration process and what will occur differently without oxygen that could lead to death. b. How would you class this organism in terms of oxygen for growth requirements?

Answer:

a. Oxygen performs an essential role in the mentioned microbial cell in a manner that it takes part in the procedure of glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and electron transport chain, which eventually assists in the production of energy from food substrates and this generation of energy helps the cell to survive.  

In the existence of oxygen, sugar gets dissociated through glycolysis to generate pyruvate, which again in the existence of oxygen is transformed into acetyl CoA. This moves into the Krebs cycle and gets dissociated to water and carbon dioxide generating ATP through ETC. This generation of ATP helps the cell to survive.  

In low oxygen surrounding or in the absence of oxygen, some of the aerobic microbes can switch their respiratory pathway and carry on the process of fermentation and anaerobic respiration to produce energy and thrive. However, the mentioned microbial cell, which when it comes in contact with the low oxygen environment cannot carry out fermentation process and would die eventually.  

b. This organism can be classified as obligate aerobes as they always need oxygen and do not possess the tendency to carry out the process of anaerobic respiration or fermentation under the absence of oxygenic environment.

how do oxygen and carbon dioxide cross from the alveoli through the capillary walls and into the blood?
Fofino [41]

Answer:

The concentration gradient of oxygen in your lungs wants to flow toward homeostasis and oxygen is bound on red blood cells by hemoglobin, along with the attraction of oxygen to hemoglobin. The concentration gradient from carbon dioxide from the capillary to the lungs. There is more oxygen in your lungs (alveoli) than there is carbon dioxide and everything want to reach homeostasis, or level amounts on both sides.

How to get high affinity antibody?
Anit [1.1K]

Human monoclonal antibody (mAbs) are emerging in the field of cancer therapy and have become an increasing proportion of new drugs that are recently approved. Although there are some methods to obtain antigen-specific mAbs from human B cells, it is generally impossible to directly immunize human beings with antigens of interest. For example, for infectious agents, those approaches are largely restricted. To solve these obstacles, two main approaches have been developed; either by humanizing antigen-specific antibodies from small experimental animals (which is laborious due to the great genetic differences from humans) or rely on the in vitro selection of antigen-specific binders from human antibody repertoires. However, the human mAbs developed by these methods are usually with low affinity.

We are now coming up with a much better idea that is humanizing non-human primates mAbs instead of murine mAbs. Due to the close genetic relationship with humans, immunized NHPs have more potential to be isolated with high affinity antibody to human target than other experimental species, such as mouse, rat and rabbit. In addition, with appropriate method, NHP antibodies are much<span> easier to be humanized</span> without any loss of affinity compared to widely used murine antibodies.

When working with radioactive materials you must use radiation detection instruments. Which of the following instruments require
vampirchik [111]

Geiger-Muller tube is instruments requires you test three times the background of the work area.

<u>Explanation</u>:

These detectors are gas filled detectors and hence requires time for responding to the value. This time is taken because during this period it collects the electric charges and features of the electric circuit. It also gets stabilized during this period. This device has thumb rule i.e one must wait or hold for at the least 3 times the time constant before getting the precise and accurate reading. The time constant order is 10 seconds for the ionization chamber but for the Geiger counter it can vary from seconds to greater than 20 seconds
