Consider the MIPS 5stage pipeline datapath and control figure shown below. For this problem, you need to fill the number of bits and the value for each field of the ID/EX pipeline register shown on the right table and on the figure below when “and $2,$8,$10” instruction is decoded at the ID pipeline stage. IMPORTANT: You must copy the ID/EX Pipeline Register table shown on the right to into your answer box and you must answer for each value from (a1) to (n2). If a particular field’s value will not affect the result, then place an ’X’ in the value field. If needed, you can reference MIPS Green Sheet.       ID/EX Pipeline Register # BITs VALUE Name of signals WB (a1) (a2) RegWrite WB (b1) (b2) MemtoReg MEM (c1) (c2) MemRead MEM (d1) (d2) MemWrite EX (e1) (e2) ALUSrc EX 2 00 ALUOp EX (g1) (g2) RegDst (h1) (h2) PC+4 (i1) (i2) register 1 data (j1) (j2) register 2 data (k1) (k2) Immediate (l1) (l2) register rs (m1) (m2) register rt (n1) (n2) register rd  

Assume the values of integer variable “sum” is associated with the registers $t2. Write MIPS assembly code to perform the following C/C++ if statement assuming $t5 is available. If needed, you can reference MIPS Green Sheet. if (sum < 0 && sum > 10)     sum = sum – 20;else     sum = sum + 10;

Above are the VP results for two bacteria, microbe C and microbe D.  Presume tube D has a red ring at the top. Match the description to the correct microbe, C, D, both or neither

In our studies of bacterial metabolism, E. coli was able to ferment glucose, lactose, and sucrose.  But, Pseudomonas fluorescens was not able to ferment any of these sugars. Briefly explain why these two organisms have such different metabolic capabilities.  Hint:  the answer is really simple, so don’t overthink it.

You inoculate a bacterium into PR Glucose.  The bacterium then ferments the glucose. What color will the medium be and why?

Obligate aerobes will commonly produce a slimy/waxy structure at the top of the tube to keep themselves afloat, thereby avoiding “drowing”. What  is the technical term for this structure?  Hint:  it’s a type of biofilm.

The country that Iraq invaded to trigger the crisis that resulted in the Persian Gulf War was _____

President Nixon’s Vietnamization plan was based on:

Reaganomics, Ronald Reagan’s economic policy,   suggested that lowering taxes on the lower incomebrackets would stimulate investment and economic growth

The Taliban, a fundamentalist Muslim group,  ruled Syria from 1996 to 2001.
