The ability to think about things differently and adapt one’s perspective.

Yersinia pestis is a gram-negative, non-motile, coccobacillus bacterium without spores. It causes the disease plague, which caused the first plague pandemic and the Black Death, the deadliest pandemic in recorded history. Y. pestis can produce ATP by either fermentation or oxidative phosphorylation; thus, they are

How do steroid hormones “turn on” genes?

An individual’s intellectual capabilities , and are closely linked to how a person makes decisions and processes information. ( verbal comprehension, word fluency, inductive reasoning, and memory, etc.).

The isabella tiger moth can be found in many cold regions, including the Arctic. The banded wooly bear larva emerges from the egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form, when it literally freezes solid. First its heart stops beating, then its gut freezes, then its blood, followed by the rest of the body. How would you expect cells not being served by the circulatory system to produce ATP when the heart stops beating? What by-product would you expect to build up in the cells?

List and describe the pathway of a secretory protein from its conception in the nucleus (as a gene) to being secreted into the cell’s external environment.

This will be done on scratch paper and submitted.   Draw 3 bacterial cells; one in a hypertonic, one in an isotonic, and one in a hypotonic environment. Please also indicate the direction of water movement and include solute concentrations in the cell and in the environment (these can be round numbers 5, 10, 15, 20…etc.).

 A protein kinase

All cells have internal structures that move.

Describe photorespiration and the evolutionary adaptations plants have made to deal with this wasteful pathway.
