Question
Chapter 26.7, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How scorpion venom does affect grasshopper mice. Why is this response adaptive.
Concept introduction:
Venom is the poisonous substance and it targets the red blood cell of prey. The venom destroys blood cells and causes internal as well as external bleeding. It causes clotting by activating the clotting factor and forms multiple blood clots. Clots inhibit the blood flow and decrease oxygen supply in body.

While on a backpacking trip you are bitten by a poisonous snake and transferred to the nearest
hospital, where you receive human immunoglobulin treatment against the poisonous snake venom.
You recover from your snakebite and return home. One year later during an environmental studies
field trip, you are bitten once again by the same type of snake. Please select the correct answers:
O Compared to the first snakebite, are you equally sensitive to the venom from the second bite. There are no
residual cells or antibodies that were involved in the original encounter with this snake venom and, therefore,
no recall response.
You are not protected from the second bite. The immunoglobulin you received 1 year ago protected you
temporarily but those antibodies are now gone and you have no memory B cells to produce new antibodies
during the second exposure.
Antibodies in the serum bound to the snake venom and neutralized its ability to cause damage. Phagocytes
then engulfed and destroyed…
In 200 words, Explain the difference between venomous and non-venomous.
How is the concept of dose-response related to the following statement by Paracelsus: “All substances are poisonous, there are none that are not. The correct dose differentiates a poison from a remedy ”? (Present a graph and use it to build your answer)

We also showed in class that the mosquito immune system can be upregulated to limit or terminate Plasmodium infection of these mosquitoes. So why don’t we see natural selection to upregulate the mosquito’s immune system and get rid of that parasite? Best explanation. Upregulating the immune system comes at the cost of shortening life span and thus (most probably) reproductive success Having a Plasmodium infection is negative for the mosquito, but it protects against much worse pathogens Upregulation of the immune system in Plasmodium leads to more rapid development of Plasmodium, causing even greater problems for Anopheles Statement is wrong. This upregulation was done with genetic engineering in a lab. Alleles to do something like that do not exist in naturearrow_forward
