A student inoculates a gelatin tube and places it at 37C for the week. When he comes back he takes the tube out of the incubator

and notices that the media is liquid. He concludes that the bacterium is gelatinase positive. Is this the right conclusion? Explain.

<h2>Gelatin </h2>

Explanation:

Gelatin is a differential medium which tests the ability of an organism to produce an exoenzyme, called gelatinase (this enzyme hydrolyzes gelatin)

When gelatin is at a temperature below 32°C (or within a few degrees thereof), it is a semisolid material and at temperatures above 32°C, it is a viscous liquid

When gelatin is broken down, it can no longer solidify and if an organism can break down gelatin, the areas where the organism has grown will remain liquid even if the gelatin is refrigerated

No the conclusion by student is not right because the tube must be runny after incubation followed by refrigeration to be considered gelatinase positive

Identify all the true statements. In the liver, stimulation of the glucagon receptor leads to activation of glycogen phosphoryla
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

-activation of glycogen phosphorylase

-activation of PKA (cAMP‑dependent protein kinase)

-conversion of ATP to cAMP

-activation of fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase‑1)

Explanation:

The binding of glucagon to its receptors affects the production of glucose in the liver. Once the glucagon receptors are activated, it leads to the activation of adenylate cyclase in which in turn increases the levels of cAMP (cyclic AMP) conversion from ATP. The increased level of cAMP then activates PKA (protein kinase A). PKA results in the phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase which results to the activation of fructose 1,6‑bisphosphatase (FBPase‑1) which results to decrease in glycolysis.

Furthermore, PKA  activates phosphorylase kinase which results to the activation of glycogen phosphorylase and hence glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis occurs when Glucose-1- phosphate is then released from glycogen. PKA also inhibits the action of glycogen synthase.

The tertiary consumer population is suddenly greatly reduced. How will this reduction affect the secondary consumer population?
Studentka2010 [4]

20) Mark is looking out the window on the commuter
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: A. motion parallax

Explanation:

In the phenomenon of motion parallax, objects that are moving at certain speeds across a particular field of vision, would also appear to move at greater speeds if they’re closer to the observer. This remains true even if the object instead of the person is moving

. The phenomenon always arises whether or not the object is moving or that the observer is moving in a manner that is relative to the object’s motion. This is because of the distance the object moves in comparison to the proportion of the observers’ field of view that it traverses. Thus, motion parallax generally describes one’s perception of the position of an object with a three-dimensional space, based on sensing said objects at different positions.
