C. Transcription of the Code
Until the 1980s, diabetics were treated with insulin extracted from pigs or cattle. Today, genetically engineered
bacteria are used to make human insulin. A human insulin gene has been added to bacteria. These bacteria are
then grown in huge vats and the human insulin they produce is extracted, packed in vials, and sent to the
pharmacy for human use. This feat is possible only because the system for expressing genes is very similar in
all life forms.
The first step in the gene expression process is transcription. When…

QUESTION///
Diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity by reacting covalently to a serine residue found within the active site of the enzyme. The physiological effect of this inactivation is interference with neurotransmitter inactivation at the synapses of nerves, resulting in the constant propagation of nerve impulses, which can lead to death. What type of inhibitor is DFP? Explain.

- Explain what is Positron Emission Tomography (PET). Describe how the positron emitting nuclide F- 18 is utilized in combination with a metabolically active substance such as glucose to generate highly detailed images of specific organs such as the brain.arrow_forwardINSTRUCTIONS: Fill in the blanks.arrow_forwardBackground information: A static respirometer can be used to measure metabolic rates of small aquatic organisms such as fish and crayfish. The animal is weighed and placed in the chamber. The chamber is then filled completely with water and sealed, and the dissolved oxygen level in the water is measured for 30 – 60 minutes. The animal is then removed and the respirometer is rinsed before being filled with clean water for the next trial. Metabolic rates can be calculated knowing the oxygen consumption rate, the volume of the chamber, and the weight of the animal. The picture shows a typical static respirometer. The probes on the lid measure dissolved oxygen and temperature and are linked to a computer for data collection. When using a static respirometer, the usual procedure calls for filling the chamber completely with water and making sure there is no air left at the top of the chamber when it is sealed. Why is this important, i.e., how would trapped air influence the metabolic…arrow_forward
