Plastic additives known as phthalates are odorless, colorless, and everywhere-in flooring, plastic cups, beach balls, plastic wrap, IV tubing-and yes, they've made their way into our bodies. If this sounds like the opening for an alien horror movie, the story actually gets worse. Study after study shows that phthalates have nasty effects on the human body, disrupting our metabolic and hormonal activity. Even families that were given local, fresh, organic food that was not prepared, cooked, or stored in plastic containers ended up with high levels of phthalates and BPA in their diet because these chemicals had already made their way into the food ingredients prior to cooking. 1. What are some serious metabolic and hormonal disorders that phthalates are responsible for? 2. Why Bisphenol A, also known as BPA is considered another endocrine-disrupting chemical? What does it cause? 3. BPA is replaced by BPS; is the latest safe, or the industry is replacing a toxic chemical with another, yet untested chemical?

Clare Boothe Luce, ambassador to Italy in the 1950s (and Connecticut congressperson, playwright, editor of Vanity Fair, and the wife of Henry Luce, founder of Time magazine and Sports Illustrated ) became ill when she was staying at the ambassadorial residence in Rome. The paint on the dining room ceiling, an arsenic-based paint, was flaking; the wallpaper of her bedroom in the ambassadorial residence was colored a mellow green owing to the presence of cupric arsenite in the pigment. Suggest a possible cause of Ambassador Luce’s illness.

The following four chemicals commonly found in defined growth media contain all of the necessary atomic macronutrients, namely C, O, N, H, S and P, which microbes require: glucose (C6H12O6), K2HPO4, MgSO4.7H2O, and (NH4)HPO4. Part a. Create a simple diagram to map which growth media chemical contributes atoms to which of the four biological macromolecules (amino acids, polysaccharides, lipids, and ribonucleic acids). Part b. Consider a cell culture broth that originally (before inoculation with cells) contains 5.0 gr/L glucose (C6H12O6), 1.2 gr/L K2HPO4, 0.3 gr/L MgSO4∙7H2O, and 1.0 gr/L (NH4)HPO4. Create a table showing how much of each of the different atoms (C, H, O, K, P, Mg, S, N) are available for incorporation into cell macromolecules (assume 50% of the glucose is catabolized, while the remainder goes for energy (respiration). Express your answers with units of grams of atomic species / liter of culture broth.
