Diseases such as diphtheria result from a process called lysogenic conversion in which viral dna is integrated into a bacterial

chromosome, which allows particular toxins to be expressed. what mechanism of gene transfer is involved?

<span>The correct answer is horizontal gene transfer, transduction.</span>  

Transduction (a type of horizontal gene transfer)is the process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a bacteria cell. When viruses infect bacterial cells, their DNA is integrated into a bacterial chromosome and thus harness the replicational, transcriptional, and translation machinery of the bacteria. As a result, bacteria cell makes numerous virions (viral particles).

Novay_Z [31]

Ans.

The first pass effect is defined as a phenomenon of metabolism of drug, in which drug concentration is greatly decreased before reaching the systemic circulation. It represents that fraction of drug lost, at the time of absorption of drug in gut.

Thus, the client is not receiving all the dosage of ingested drug (aspirin) because of the 'first pass effect.'

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
Gelneren [198K]

Answer is : C, increase the surface to allow more space for ATP synthesis.

As it produces large amounts of ATP through oxidative metabolism of pyruvates, which are produced by glycolysis. The main job of mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration.  This means it takes in nutrients from the cell, breaks it down, and turns it into energy.  This energy is then in turn used by the cell to carry out various functions. Each cell contains a different number of mitochondria The number present is dependent upon how much energy the cell requires.  The more energy a cell needs the more mitochondria that will be present. Cells have the ability to produce more mitochondria as needed.  They also can combine mitochondria to make larger ones. The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP),  through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism.The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known  as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle. However, the mitochondrion has many other functions in addition to the production of ATP.

Why is there less genetic variation among humans than among other species?  this statement is debatible

Explanation:

In regard to the options, species may exhibit less variation when their branches represent the youngest lineages, suffer loss of genetic variation during evolution (i.e., genetic bottleneck) or show low mutation rates

Why do you think it is important to take an average resting heart rate versus relying on one value alone? what are some factors
Marina CMI [18]
2) One value might be distorted; for example it is usual that a heard rate right after sitting down can be higher than the rest rate. Other factors that might affect this is the rate of breathing, exercise. We also have that some bleeding can affect this. Finally, the point that you use to measure the heart rate can also be important in making correct measurements.
1)Taking multiple heart rates leads to more reliable results because you can use the mean and not a single value that might be far off it. You avoid thus the effects of the factors above that happen often enough so that we would appear to be ill many times when we are perfectly healthy; In scientific terms, there is some variance in measurements and that is fine.
3) Even if their resting heart rates are the same, they can react differently to stress. One reason is having low iron in your blood; it is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood and thus it is esssential when one does gymnastics. A person with low iron will have a higher pulse to accomodate his cells' needs for oxygen. The same applies to persons with breathing problems or different fitness (even if the resting heart rate is the same). Also, there could be the case that genetically one has less mitochondria and this also affects oxygen and blood needs in exercise.
4) The average rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute. While this is not abnormal, it is rather high. An examination might be advised to see what leads to such a high bpm rate. If this yields nothing, it could be that due to age and physics reasons this is normal.
