Explanation:

It comes as little surprise to learn that the UK is rife with air pollution.

But while people living away from big cities and main roads may think they’re unaffected – it turns out many of them are.

The most comprehensive analysis of the tiny particulate matter in our air finds two thirds of the population living in areas with air pollution levels that the World Health Organisation deems to be unsafe.

Answer:

Land can become polluted by household garbage and by industrial waste. In 2014, Americans produced about 258 million tons of solid waste, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A little over half of the waste — 136 million tons— was gathered in landfills. Only about 34% was recycled or composted.

Hope this helps and I hope its correct.

name two major vessels that return oxygen-poor blood to the heart. What are the damages for each? Where do they terminate?

Serga [27]

Answer:

1. Head, neck, upper limb, thorax - super vena cava - top of the right atrium.

2. Lower limb - inferior vena cava - bottom of the right atrium.

Explanation:

The Heart pumps the oxygen-rich blood to the different parts of the body to Otake oxygen and nutrients to these organs and then takes the oxygen-poor blood returns from the body to the heart.

The two major vessels that return oxygen-poor blood to the heart are 1. superior vena cava (SVC) that drainages Head, neck, upper limb, thorax and terminate at top of the right atrium, and 2. inferior vena cava (IVC), Lower limb and terminate at bottom of the right atrium.

1. Head, neck, upper limb, thorax - super vena cava - top of the right atrium.

2. Lower limb - inferior vena cava - bottom of the right atrium.

Place all eight of these steps of the insulin signaling pathway in the correct order. The abbreviation PIP 2 is used for phospha

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The correct insulin pathway is described as under:

2. Binding of insulin to the alpha subunit of the insulin receptor

8. Activation of insulin receptor tyrosine kinase

3. Phosphorylation of IRS proteins

6. Phosphorylation of phosphinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K)

4. Conversion of PIP2 to PIP3

7. Activation of PIP3-dependent protein kinase B (PDK1)

5. Glut4 receptors transported to the cell membrane

Explanation:

The insulin signaling pathway is described as under:

RTK (receptor tyrosine kinases) which is a receptor for insulin is an extracellular receptor but in contrast to other cell surface receptors it is catalytic in nature. In the absence of insulin (ligand), it is monomeric but as soon as it gets activated (activation occurs upon ligand binding), it undergo dimerization. It leads to auto-phosphorylation in it's tyrosine residue which subsequently leads to phosphorylation of tyrosine residue of other receptors. Such hyper-phosphorylated receptor have high affinity with enzyme/molecule like IRS protein which have SH2 domain . IRS down stream activates phosphinositide 3-kinase (PI-3K). This enzyme converts component of animal cell membrane PIP2 into PIP3. PIP3 also remains membrane bound but it has the potential to phosphorylate another enzyme named as PIP3-dependent protein kinase B (PDK1). Further, PDK1 leads to the activation of Akt or PK-B. Akt is a serine-threonine kinase which ultimately leads to the recruitment of Glut4 receptors on cell membrane for uptake of more and more glucose into the cell.

Note: Apart from this Akt also phosphorylates another protein named as FOXO which ultimately causes cell growth, Akt can also phosphorylate BAD protein so as to restrict cell apoptosis or we can say it leads to cell survival, Akt also leads to translation in a cell with the help of mTOR raptor etc.

There is a healthy bacterial culture growing in the exponential phase . A technician wants to make a growth curve by making cell

emmainna [20.7K]

A) WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH HER PLAN?

Binary fission is one of the asexual process by which most bacteria reproduce, the binary fission brings about a doubling of the number in bacterial cells that are viable.

Generation time is that time that it will require for a cell population to divide and double, it is also known as doubling time. This Generation time varies among distinct organisms and also varies among culture conditions.

Take for instance,a fast growing bacterium that is under an ideal culture conditions has a doubling time of 20minutes and for the bacteria that is grown in a condition that is not so ideal,may have a doubling time of hours.

The major challenge/ problem with her plan is that as she takes the bacterial sample every 30minutes, and then hold the sample till the last sampling is done in the day,those bacterial cells that are collected in the initial intervals will then get divided and further gives a result that is false.

However,if those bacteria that are collected aren't stored in a culture environment that is standard,the bacterial cells may die off and thus will further bring about a false result.

2) CAN SHE DO ANYTHING TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF HER RESULT?

Solution for rectifying the error in her plan;

She can go ahead and add 50-100 μl of formaldehyde to all the culture suspensions that she has and has taken every 30minutes.

As the formaldehyde will fix the bacterial cells,The optical density present in all those aliquots can then be retrieved/taken at the end of the day.

Looking at it alternatively, aliquot 1ml of the culture suspension at an interval of every 30 minutes,and then take the optical density that is OD at a wavelength of 600nm making use of spectrophotometer until the reason you get becomes static.
