Summary Introduction
To determine: The percentage of warfarin-resistant rats in town Olf.
Introduction: Rodenticides are the pesticides that have a capability to kill the whole rodent species. Rodents have their own importance in the nature but sometimes require some control over their population, as they could transmit disease, destroy crops, and may cause ecological damage. Warfarin is a common anticoagulant that could be used as a rodenticide to kill mice and rats.
After the discovery, warfarin has been widely used and later it resulted in development of species of warfarin-resistant mice and rats. Another recently developed bromadiolone called as super-warfarin (second-generation warfarin) has a greater ability to accumulate in the liver and kill the organism.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?

- Using information from the primary literature (several references have been provided as a starting point below) please answer the following question: Based on your review of the literature on rewilding, what are the major scientific pros and cons for rewilding? Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly.
