A cluster of cases of legionellosis have occurred in your neighborhood. People with the illness have cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain and sometimes diarrhea. The illness is caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, a facultative intracellular parasite that survives in certain ameba. The organism has an absolute requirement for L-cysteine. Typically, the organism is grown on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar. In some labs, samples containing suspected L. pneumophila are cultured on traditional BCYE medium as well as BCYE medium lacking L-cysteine. How would L. pneumohila be identified in this situation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - comparing the presence of an essential component of the L. pneumophila that is cysteine.

Explanation:

As we know that L-cysteine is essential for the organism L. pneumophila to grow its colonies. The identification is easy in this situation by comparing the two cultured on the traditional BCYE medium and BCYE medicum without L-cysteine.

Colonies that grow on traditional BYCE medium are likely L. pneumophila as they required L-cysteine but not on BYCE medium lacking cysteine.

Explain how the genetic disease called Sickle Cell Anemia is more prevalent in African- Americans compared to other races because of the Malaria Disease.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because sickle cell disease is common in malaria dorminated area because their traits confers resistance to malaria. The red blood cells, which contain abnormal hemoglobin become sickle in shape after it has been affected by malaria parasite. Therefore, most American that have African ancestry are at high risk of

What is the optimal pH that this enzyme functions at? And What is the optimal temperature that this enzyme functions at?

Answers

Answer:

Optimum Temperature is 35°C

Optimum PH is 7.0.

Explanation:

The optimum temp of enzymes is 20-35°c. They become inactivated at very low temperature and denatured (destroyed) at very high temp i.e. greater than 45°C. Low molecular weight enzymes are comparatively more heat stable.

The optimum pH of most enzymes is pH 7.0 (neutral pH).

The function of some cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs) has been remarkably conserved in evolution. Indeed, coding sequence for the human protein Cdc2 is able to substitute for the CDC28 gene in S. cerevisae and allow the yeast cell to grow and mate essentially normally. The following sequence near the NH2-end of the molecule is identical in both proteins: Gly-Glu-Gly-Thr-Tyr-Gly-Val-Val-Tyr-Lys-Ala. Does this mean that nucleotide sequences of the two genes coding for this region of the polypeptide are also identical

Answers

Answer:

No, because the genetic code is redundant  

Explanation:

During the translation, a single amino acid may be coded for by more than one codon. It is for that reason that the genetic code is considered to be redundant. Tryptophan is the unique amino acid specified by a single codon. In this case, it is likely that silent mutations at the nucleotide sequence that encode for the Glu-Gly-Thr-Tyr-Gly-Val-Val-Tyr-Lys-Ala protein motif might have accumulated during the evolution of both CDK genes, modifying thus their nucleotide sequences while preserving the same protein sequence.

your slide is in focus but you cannot see anything, what maybe the possible problem​

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be - using a lens that is too high powered and thus you may be too focused on the specimen.

Explanation:

The possible scenario for this case where the slide is in focus but can not see anything could be either specimen is not under the lense or too focused on the specimen by using a very high-powered lens.

In a very high-powered lens, the lens becomes over-focused and the specimen does not look in the field of view of the lens, in such case, an individual should ower the power of lense.

One species called the naked mole-rat, has some unique differences. They have a social structure similar to that of ants and bees, they are smaller in size and are mostly ectothermic. They live in harsh, dry scrub land habitats and forage mainly on underground tubers which are widely dispersed. Why you think this species evolved back to an ectothermic life style rather than staying endothermic like all other mammals

Answers

Answer:

May be of the environment they live or genetics.

Explanation:

This naked mole rat species evolved back to an ectothermic life style rather than staying endothermic like all other mammals because of the environment they live or change in the genetic makeup. The main reason for this evolution may be the environmental they lives or through the change in genetic makeup of this naked mole rat species so both factors can contribute in the evolution.

red-green color blindness is an x-linked recessive disorder. if the mother is RGCB and the father has normal vision, what are the changes for daughters and sons to hae the trait

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be -

RGCB daughter - 0%

RGCB sons - 100%

Explanation:

Red-green color blindness is a sex-linked recessive disease that means it will only express in absence of the normal allele that is present on X-chromosomes. As it is known that males have only one X-chromosomes therefore, the chances are more in males to be affected in presence of the recessive gene. In this given case women s RGCB and man has normal vision. The genotype of women would be both recessive alleles XcXc and genotype of man would be XY.

The gametes would be - Xc, Xc and X, Y

then the cross:

       Xc     Xc

X     XXc    XXc

Y    XcY      XcY

so the offspring would be -

Carrier female =  XXc (50% chance in total and 100% in daughters)

RGCB daughters = 0%

RGCB male =  XcY (100% in sons and 50% of total children)

What is the direction of energy flow in an energy pyramid? How much energy is transfered from one step to another?

Answers

Answer:

- The flow of energy is from the lowest level (i.e., the base of the pyramid)  to highest levels

- Approximately 10 percent

Explanation:

The energy pyramid is a diagram that shows the flow of energy between trophic levels in an ecosystem. Each trophic level is characterized by organisms that play specific roles in an ecosystem, for example, photosynthetic organisms (producers) at the base of the pyramid which represent the source of energy for herbivores localized at a higher level. The amount of energy decreases as it moves to higher trophic levels, approximately 10 percent of the energy is transferred from a trophic level to the next level and the remaining energy is lost as heat.

how is spark formed, and why might a spark start an explosion?

Answers

Answer:When the applied electric field exceeds the dielectric breakdown strength of the intervening medium, a spark is generated. In a mechanism known as dielectric breakdown, the exponentially increasing electrons and ions allow regions of the air in the gap to become electrically conductive.

An electrostatic spark causes the blast. The sudden rise in temperature that occurs as the mixture ignites causes a massive increase in gas pressure. The ensuing increase in pressure could collapse the chamber with a noisy explosion if the burning vapour were to be trapped.
