Bats found with white-nose syndrome appeared to die because: a the fungal infection affected their wings so they could no longer fly b the fungal infection attacked the areas needed to maintain body temperature, so the bats froze to death c the fungal infection caused them to wake more often and use up their fat reserves, so they died of starvation d their immune system was suppressed, so they contracted other deadly infections e their torpor became so deep they could not wake from their hibernation
Even though genetically engineered mosquitoes might be developed that do not allow the reproduction of malaria protozoa, these mosquitoes would have little, if any, immediate effect on the spread of the disease. Why should this be so? What would have to happen for these mosquitoes to significantly affect the spread of malaria?
Describe the life cycle of the human hookworm? How was john D. Rockfeller and southern US commerce involved in this story?how far away from a pile of poop can a hookworm crawl before dying? How did Rockfeller's medical investigators eradicate the hookworm problem, as well as many excrment- related parasitic disease?
You are trying to develop a new anti-termite chemical that will not harm environmentally beneficial insects. Because termites are adapted to eat only wood, they will starve if they cannot digest this food source. Termites have two symbiotic partners: the protozoan Trichonympha collaris and the bacteria it harbors that actually produce the enzyme that digests the wood. Knowing this, how might you prevent termite infestations without targeting the termites directly?
The insecticide DDT has been widely used to control the mosquitoes that carry malaria. How would you explain the fact that many mosquito populations are now resistant to DDT?
Malaria Where did the disease originate? What impact did it have on the individuals living in the effected areas? How was the disease spread? How did individuals combat the disease? What reforms were initiated after the event? Your research must contain one location in the U.S. or Colonial America that experienced an outbreak.
Why was the demonstration of human resistance to malaria important to evolutionary biology?
What is NOT a difference between Strepsirrhines and Haplorrhines? A. Strepsirrhines are mostly nocturnal, while Haplorrhines are mostly diurnal B. Strepsirrhines have forward-facing eyes, while Haplorrhines have lateral-facing eyes C. Strepsirrhines have wet noses, while Haplorrhines have dry noses D. Strepsirrhines have a post-orbital bar, while Haplorrhines have a post-orbital plate
In the early 1800s, potatoes became the main food staple for the people of Ireland. In 1845, a fungus native to South America, Phytophthora infestans, began to infect potato plants, causing potato blight and making the tubers inedible. Over the next several years, most of the potato plants in the country were destroyed by this invasive species. Which of the following statements correctly explains why the Irish potato famine occurred? A - The arrival of ships from South America led to human introduction of the disease. B - A drought across Ireland in 1844 led to more damaged potato plants that were susceptible to infection. C - An increase in trade with other European countries led to the introduction of plants that were already infected with the fungus. D - Ireland’s climate became closer to that of South America, which allowed the fungus to infect potato plants and reproduce.
The concept of endosymbiosis as applied to chloroplast and mitochondria found in eukaryotes: a) is based on evidence that Chloroplasts and Mitochondria were originally prokaryotes, b) changes present day animals into plants, c) explains how chemical evolution caused the appearance of life, d) allowed chloroplasts to carry out aerobic metabolism, e) all are true.
Which one of these is NOT an example of a parasite? Select one: a. A bromeliad plant growing on the trunk of a rainforest tree that derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain and debris accumulating around the plant. b. A leech feeding on blood it extracts from the leg of a human host. c. A Rafflesia plant using a specialised absorptive organ, known as a haustorium, to draw nutrients from other plants. d. A tapeworm that lives inside the intestine of an animal and feeds off the food that the animal is digesting. Which one of the following BEST describes the consequences of an altruistic interaction between the donor and the recipient of the behaviour? Select one: a. Positive for the donor, positive for the recipient. b. Negative for the donor, positive for the recipient. c. Positive for the donor, negative for the recipient. d. Negative for the donor, negative for the recipient.
Anophelesmosquito life cycle: https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/about/life-cycles/anopheles.html Culexmosquito life cycle: https://www.cdc.gov/mosquitoes/about/life-cycles/culex.html Look at the life cycle of the two mosquito vectors involved in malaria and West Nile virus transmission. Consider the details of their biology in terms of: 1) habitat of different stages, 2) duration of life cycle, 3) food needs, 4) feeding preferences, 5) how far they disperse. Below write out how each might be a useful aspect to consider in terms of controlling the insect and /or its ability to transmit the disease to humans. Anopheles 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Culex 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
