You are enjoying your vacation on the coast and decided to go snorkeling. Your tidal volume is 460 mL and breathing rate is 14 b

reaths/min. Conducting zone of your respiratory system can hold 210 mL of air. Your snorkel gear holds 150 mL of air. What is amount of fresh air you can breathe in and out every minute (aka, alveolar ventilation) BEFORE you put the snorkel gear on

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Option

A. 6440 mL/min

B. 4340 mL

C. 3500 mL/min

D. 2940 mL/min

Solution

It is required to find the minute ventilation which is equal to the product of rate of breathing and the total amount of gas being inhaled or exhaled per breathe.  Let this minute ventilation be denoted by "V_f"

Thus,

V_f = TD * B_r

where TD is the tidal volume and Br is the rate of breathing

Substituting the given values we get

V_f = 460 *14 \\V_f = 6440

We will now reduce the air held in the conducting zone of respiratory system

Air held per breathe = 210

Total Air held

= 210 * 14 \\= 2940

Amount of fresh air one can breathe in and out every minute

= 6440 - 2940 \\= 3500

Hence, Option C is correct

The lactose (lac) operon in E. coli is an example of a repressed gene when lactose is not available in a cell. In 3-5 sentences
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation of this statement below

Explanation:

Firstly, a repressed gene is a gene whose expression has been inhibited or repressed. The lac operon in E.coli bacteria is a regulatory unit containing structural genes, a single promoter and operator regions. The promoter is the region where the transcription enzyme (RNA polymerase) binds to in order to transcribe the genes in the lac operon. The structural genes in the lac operon can only be expressed in the presence of lactose sugar.

However, in the absence of lactose, LAC REPRESSOR, which is a transcription factor (protein), prevents the binding of RNA polymerase to the PROMOTER region by binding to the OPERATOR region of the lac operon. This inhibits the expression of the lactose genes in the operon.

Note that, the structural genes in the lac operon (lacZ, lacY, lacA) code for proteins that help break down lactose sugar for energy in the E.coli bacteria. Therefore, a bacteria cell with a repressed lac operon will be unable to degrade lactose sugar.

What might the shape of the skull and the supraorbital height tell us about each species?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer: The shape of the skull and the supraorbital height tell us the following about each species-

  • It can tell us about the intelligence of species and what all senses they were dependent upon for their survival
  • Most of the species possess similar skulls as mostly their structures are  oval shaped, sloped or round shaped.
  • Species have different food habits that is determined by the teeth, which vary from long and dull to short and dull.
  • Variation in teeth and face shapes could also be due to different geological locations.
  • In particular, the foramen magnum be located where the spine connects can be attributed to how the species gathered food through hunting and what kind of food they sought after.
  • Overall, the shape and the supraorbital height of each skull informs us the advantages and disadvantages each species had in its ecosystem.
  • It also tells what probable causes of death would be when the species died.
