Concept explainers
To propose a hypothesis: To compare the structures of tobacco mosaic virus and influenza virus.
Introduction: Virus is a distinctive class of microscopic organisms that are infectious in nature. They are typical parasites that can replicate only inside a living host like bacteria, animals, plants, etc. The viral genome is made of

- Which submodality of taste is sensitive to the pH of saliva? umami sour bitter sweetarrow_forwardWhy is it easier to see images at night using peripheral, rather than the central, vision? Cones are denser in the periphery of the retina Bipolar cells are denser in the periphery of the retina Rods are denser in the periphery of the retina The optic nerve exits at the periphery of the retina.arrow_forwardVisit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/NYTmeningitis) to read about a man who wakes with a headache and a loss of vision. His regular doctor sent him to an ophthalmologist to address the vision loss. The ophthalmologist recognizes a greater problem and immediately sends him to the emergency room. Once there, the patient undergoes a large battery of tests, but a definite cause cannot be found. A specialist recognizes the problem as meningitis, but the question is what caused it originally. How can that be cured? The loss of vision comes from swelling around the optic nerve, which probably presented as a bulge on the inside of the eye. Why is swelling related to meningitis going to push on the optic nerve?arrow_forward
- Visual accommodation involves adjustment to the shape or position of the ___ . a. conjunctiva b. retina c. orbit d. lensarrow_forward1. Why is it helpful that the transmission compound light microscopes we studied in the lab are both parfocal and parcentered? 2. Why would it be harder to find a specimen on a slide starting with the 40x objective lens compared to the 4x objective lens. Support your answer with facts about the field of view and the comparison of both objective lenses. 3. If I wanted to observe something, let's a virus that was 50nm in size, which microscope would you recommend me using? Support your answer with facts about the microscopic utility.arrow_forwardThe projections of the LGN to the visual cortex are easy to tract because: layers 1 and 2 are magnocellular pathways and layers 3,4,5 and 6 are parvocellular pathway layers 1 and 2 are parvocellular pathways and layers 3,4,5 and 6 are magnocellular pathway layers 2,3 and 5 are parvocellular and layers 1,4 and 6 are magnocellular doesn't matter because there is a mixture of pathways in each layersarrow_forward
- Q6 The commonly called infection "C-diff" is shorthand for:A) Cochlear destructionB)Clostridium difficilearrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/2point) to see a quick demonstration of two-point discrimination. Touching a specialized caliper to the surface of the skin will measure the distance between two points that are perceived as distinct stimuli versus a single stimulus. The patient keeps their eyes closed while the examiner switches between using both points of the caliper or just one. The patient then must indicate whether one or two stimuli are in contact with the skin. Why is the distance between the caliper points closer on the fingertips as opposed to the palm of the hand? And what do you think the distance would be on the arm, or the shoulder?arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/l_3-D1) to learn more about how the brain perceives 3-D motion. Similar to how retinal disparity offers 3-D moviegoers a way to extract 3-D information from the two-dimensional visual field projected onto the retina, the brain can extract information about movement in space by comparing what the two eyes see. If movement of a visual stimulus is leftward in one eye and rightward in the opposite eye, the brain interprets this as movement toward (or away) from the face along the midline. If both eyes see an object moving in the same direction, but at different rates, what would that mean for spatial movement?arrow_forward
- Conjunctivitis is an infection of the conjunctiva (covers part of the front surface of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids). It can be caused by O viruses only O bacteria only O viruses and bacteria O helminthsarrow_forwardA vaccine IMAGINERIX was introduced against a new Gloomy virus (hypothetical names). While the vaccinated population were immunized against Gloomy virus, a few reports followed, claiming that some developed symptoms of multiple sclerosis. (a) What is the possible connection between the use of Imaginerix and multiple sclerosis? (b) State ONE possible treatment option for multiple sclerosis.arrow_forward1. Precise words:Find the nonspecific terms in the following sentences. Replace the nonspecific choices with more preciseterms or phrases (It is not necessary to change the sentence structure).(i) All OVE mutants showed enhanced iP concentrations.(ii) Plants were kept in the cold overnight.(iii) To provide proof of concept for our hypothesis, we studied a virus in its host cell.(iv) The present paper reports on continuing experiments that were performed to clarify thissurprising effect.(v) The first transition state is a little lower in energy than the second transition state. 2. Simple words:Improve the word choice in the following examples by replacing the underlined terms or phrases withsimpler word choices (do not change the sentence structure).(i) These data substantiate our hypothesis.(ii) The difference in our results compared to those of Reuter et al. (1995) can be accounted forby the fact that different conditions were used.(iii) For the purpose of discussing cell migration we…arrow_forward
