<span>Anton van Leeuwenhoek learned to grind lenses ( 1668) and develop simple microscopes.

</span>

Leeuwenhoek heated the middle of a small soda glass rod , over a flame. On pulling apart the two ends, the glass rod elongated into thin whiskers . 
Heating the end of this whisker resulted in a tiny high quality glass sphere. These glass spheres then became the lens of his microscope, with the smallest sphere providing the greatest magnification.

Leeuwenhoek's designs were very basic. The body of the microscope was a single lens mounted in a tiny hole on a brass plate. The specimen was then mounted on a sharp point that sticks up in front of the lens. It's position and focus could be adjusted by turning the two screws.

The entire instrument was about 3 to 4 inches long and had to be held up close to the eye, requiring good lighting and great patience to use.

I have mutant cells that make no pfk2enzyme. i measure rates of oxygen consumption in these mutant cells and compare them to wil
Kazeer [188]

The correct answer is that mutant cells will exhibit diminished oxygen consumption; decreased glycolysis results in decreased Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain.

The PFK2 enzyme catalyzes the generation of F26BP, this binds with the allosteric site of PFK-1 and increases the affinity of PFK-1 with F6P and also decreases the affinity of allosteric inhibitors citrate and ATP to PFK-1. Thus, PFK-1 will combine with F6P at a greater rate.

This ultimately results in more glycolysis, thus, more ETC and more consumption of O2. If there is no PFK2, then there will be a reduction in glycolysis, TCA, ETC, and consumption of oxygen.

The PFK2 is an enzyme accountable for monitoring the rates of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in the human body. In the absence of glycolysis, there will be a reduction in TCA, ETC, and consumption of O2.

The main aim of the IRB is to safeguard the right of the human subjects used for the purpose of research conducted by the governmental authority. It also emphasizes over the protection of the researchers from illegal complaints. The risks to the human subjects can be minimized by using procedures which cause no harm to them and a detail consent of the research practice should be taken from these subjects by informing the purpose of research.

Is infant circumcision ethically necessary?
Nostrana [21]
The answer is that infant circumcision is not ethically necessary. The reason to this is that there are no proof of evidence as to why it is ethically necessary for it to be done to an infant. It is also because other medical professionals thinks that doing circumcision in an infant will create issues in terms of their health, producing complications. That is why it is not ethically necessary for it to be done on an infant.
