Here is a hypothetical situation: An area of the country has received a record amount of rainfall this year coupled with a mild

winter and a warm spring and summer. As a result the mosquito population is exceptionally high. Mosquitoes are not pathogens to humans. However, mosquitoes can greatly affect the rate of infection for several types of human pathogens. Pick and describe two pathogens that you should expect to see at higher frequency because of this booming mosquito population.

Answer:

Zika virus and West Nile virus are the two pathogens which causes more diseases due to increase the population of mosquito.

Explanation:

Zika virus belongs to the family of Flaviviridae. Aedes mosquitoes which are active at day time are the carrier of this virus. West Nile virus is also spread through the bite of mosquito. The infected mosquito is the main cause of spreading of this disease. This virus is spreading too fast in the United States of America in the summer season where the population of mosquitoes increases.

Answer:

The researchers add a compound to the cell growth medium that both binds and releases protons (H+) and also pass through lipid membranes. The effect that the added compound will have on the ATP production by the cells is that ATP synthase will stop.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Hilda and her family are going on a sailing trip this summer, and Hilda is especially interested in spotting dolphins. In which zone of the ocean is Hilda most likely to spot dolphins? Hilda and her family are most likely to spot dolphins in the PELAGIC zone. To view shorebirds and crabs, Hilda should move towards the INTERTIDAL zone.

Explanation:

The Pelagic Zone

It is any water in an ocean or lake that can not be said to be positioned in proximity to the shore or in proximity to the bottom (the shore and the bottom are two distinct zones with a completely different properties.

Divisions of the Pelagic Zone

It can be grouped into subzones based on depth, we have the epipelagic, close to the top of the zone which as light been present, and the abyssopelagic, is nearer to the bottom with light being absent.

The intertidal zone

Its found between the high tide (upper limit) and low tide lines (lower limit), majorly on the beach at the water's edge.

The major attribute of the intertidal zone is that it is immersed with water at high tide and is in exposure to the air at lower limit. The intertidal zone is usually undergoing alterations leading to organisms that are uniquely adapted to strive there.

Organisms found in this zone are sea stars, crabs, mussels, barnacles, and various corals as they well situated to strive immersed in water and a region of their lives open air at lower limit.

Phycobiliproteins are a complex of accessory pigments and proteins found in cyanobacteria but not in green algae. A researcher c
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria preserve its photosynthetic pigments in the thylakoids which allows masking of green of chlorophyll a and other accessory pigment i.e phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin).  

Chlorophyll a is mainly responsible for harvesting light for photosynthesis. Phycocyanin is blue in color, allophycocyanin is blue in color  and phycoerythrine is red in color. These together harvest light in the green, yellow and orange part of the spectrum which cannot be used by other phytoplankton species

Hence, option D is correct

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Both types of fingerprints can often be easy to obtain from the crime scene.

DNA fingerprinting is a technique used for a paternity test and in establishing a link between the biological evidence and suspect in the crime, identification of dead bodies et cetera.

It is based on the similarities and differences associated with the DNA sequence of organisms especially the non-coding or junk DNA.

The DNA fingerprints are developed in labs, they are not found at crime scenes.

At the crime scene, pieces of biological evidence such as blood, skin, hair et cetera are taken from which DNA could be extracted.
