Biology Study Guide

1. Some people accuse sociologists of observing conditions that are obvious. How does looking at sociology as “making the familiar strange” help counter this claim? How does sociology differ from simple commonsense reasoning?

This mode of transmission, like malaria, can leave the host deadly sick. Its a cycle, with the parasite in the host, a mosquito will carry the blood with the parasite and inject it into a different host.

Preparing specimen for electron microscope hard, light microscope still very useful as a window on living cells.

3. Microbiologists employee a number of approached to acquiring a pure culture from a from sample containing a number of different types of bacteria. Briefly describe three different procedures commonly used to secure pure cultures from a mixed culture. The use of simple labeled diagrams may be quite helpful.

K. Paraphrase the three potential fates of the excited electron produced when a photon meets a chlorophyll molecule

Surface Tension: The measure of how difficult it is to stretch or break the surface of a liquid.

Carbohydrates: any of a class of organic compounds that are polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones, or change to such substances on simple chemical transformations, as hydrolysis, oxidation, or reduction, and that form the supporting tissues of plants and are important food for animals and people.

1. Polar molecules A. have bonds with an unequal distribution of electric charge. B. must form ions in water solution. C. have bonds with an equal distribution of electrical charge. D. have bonds with an overall negative charge.

5. A. Fimbriae- hair like Gram-negative bacteria that allows attachment and through that the bacteria is able to colonize.

The Rapid Response Team (RRT) saves lives and decreases the risk for harm by providing care to clients before a respiratory or cardiac arrest occurs. Although the RRT does not replace the Code Team, which responds to client arrests, it intervenes rapidly

In eukaryotes, stored primarily in the cell nucleus. A nucleic acid using deoxyribose rather than ribose.

Which of the following was evidence to support Vanzetti's innocence during the Braintree robbery and double murder trial?

The nucleus is enclosed in a nuclear membrane which has pores to allow RNA and proteins. The nucleus functions the activity in a plant cell and stores the plant’s DNA. (Plant Cell Anatomy, n.d.)

This study guide will prepare you for the Final Examination you will complete in Week Five. It contains practice questions, which are related to each week’s objectives. In addition, refer to each week’s readings and your student guide as study references for the Final Examination.

About 3.3 billion people, that is about half of the world’s population are at risk of contracting malaria (figure 1). Every year there are 250 million cases of malaria, and nearly 1 million deaths. That amounts to 2,732 deaths per day. Out of those million people that die every year, 800,000 of them are African children under the age of 5. To control malaria three actions need to be taken: insecticides need to be used to decrease the vector population, people have to be educated as to how to prevent the vector from reproducing, and anti-malarial drugs need to be distributed. To understand the vector and what the vector is, scientists had to first discover what the parasite was and how it worked. It was not until the year 1880 that French Physician Charles Laveran discovered that Malaria was caused by a protozoan in the genus Plasmodium (Malaria, 2013)
