Dr. J. Hipsterman has been trying to understand the virulence of the nasty skin pathogen, Iowackius hockious, which causes skin

abrasions on humans. Dr. Hipsterman has identified a gene within the I. hockious genome that is predicted to encode a protein on the surface of the bacterium tha breaks down skin tissue. Dr. Hipsterman uses molecular genetics to knocks out this gene, which is called sorE, and then evaluates the importance of sorE for I. hockious virulence using a competition study. The animal model for I. hockious is the chicken-hawk. Dr. Hipsterman applies to the skin of a chicken-hawk a 1:10 mixture of wild type I. hockious relative to mutant I. hockious lacking only the gene sorE (i.e. the bacterial mixture contained 10-times more mutant than wild type). After 24 h, Dr. Hipsterman recovered all the bacteria from the skin of the chicken-hawk, and analysis revealed that there were 5 times more mutant sorE than wild type sorE. From these data alone, what should Dr Hipsterman conclude about the importance of sorE for I. hockious virulence? A. sorE encodes a gene that increases I. hockious virulence B. sorE is not a virulence gene C. sorE encodes a gene that decreases I. hockious virulence D. the competition experiment described here does not address the importance of sorE for I. hockious virulence

Answer: A. sorE encodes a gene that increases I. hockious virulence

Explanation:

Notice that at the start of the study, there were 10 times mutant gene lacking sorE compared to the wild type. After 24 hours, it reduced to 5 times compared to the wild type, this is an indication that sorE is a virulence gene and it's absence reduces the virulence of the bacteria.

Breaks down sugar molecules that supply energy to the cell
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The question is which organelle break down sugar molecules that supply energy to the cell. The answer is mitochondria. Mitochondria is referred to as the power house of the cell because it handles cellular respiration of the cell, which involves breaking down of sugar molecules to form energy in form of ATP.

Likely he will be diagnosed by the hospital as seen as a risk constantly for violence with others. This isn't uncommon in people with drug abuse, or someone who has come from an abusive household. It's quite likely he has faced abuse and may suffer from an emotional mental health disorder. (IE manic depressive disorder, anger issues, or purely a sociopath)

makkiz [27]

The initiating event in the development of nephrotic syndrome is a derangement in the glomerular membrane that causes increased permeability to plasma proteins.

Nephrotic syndrome can be understood as a kidney disorder in which the glomeruli filter of the kidney gets damaged due to which it is unable to filter the proteins and passes an excess amount of protein in the urine.

Glomeruli filter consists of clusters of small blood vessels in the kidneys that function in filtering the waste and excess water from the blood. It also sweeps the blood protein which is necessary to maintain the correct amount of fluid in the body, from seeping into the urine. But when it gets damaged glomeruli stop sweeping the protein from the urine as a result too much blood protein leaves your body, leading to nephrotic syndrome.
