When a doctor needs to give someone a medication intravenously (through a vein), they dilute that medicine in a saline solution

(salty water). Why would it be a bad idea for a doctor to mix the medicine with plain water? (Hint: Osmosis is the answer, but you’ll need to explain why.)

Answer:

it is because the blood cells will have too much water in them and they will burst.

Explanation:

there will be less salt inside the cells so all the water will enter the cells. if there is also salt present outside of the cell then the water and the electrolites(salt) will equalize between the inside and the outside of the cell.

Proteins that are embedded within, and extend across, the phospholipid bilayer are called _____ proteins. rev: 02_22_2014_qc_455
brilliants [131]

Proteins that are embedded within, and extend across, the phospholipid bilayer are called <u>Integral Protein</u>.

Integral Protein- Any protein containing a unique functional area for the purpose of ensuring its location within the cellular membrane is referred to as an integral protein, which is also referred to as an integral membrane protein. Or, to put it another way, an integral protein seizes the cellular membrane.

Cellular membrane- All cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane, which divides the inside of the cell from the external environment. A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the cell membrane. The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the cell membrane.

Which step can occur even more rapidly by PCR?a. target DNA removed from cells and isolated b. cloning host treated with calcium
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

E. Gene is amplified by multiplication of cloning host

Explanation:

PCR is a very powerful technique that can help us to amplify exponentially one gene from a very small sample of DNA.

As seen in the attached image, the process begins with a single DNA molecule, for the first cycle, that DNA molecule denaturalizes into two strands, the primers bind to their complementary sides and then the DNA polymerase builds the new DNA strands. The number of copies of the gene that can be obtained with each cycle are 2ⁿ copies, where n is the cycle number.
