Question
Chapter 23, Problem 1AQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How the pathogenic microbes in the mucous membrane of mouth and the gut are controlled under normal circumstances. Describe a circumstance that might encourage pathogenicity in the mucous membrane.
Introduction:
Mucus is a liquid secretion seen in the human body. It is made of soluble glycoproteins and proteins that provide resistance to the microbes by retaining the moisture. The mucous membrane is a layer that is made of mucous covered epithelial cells that intermingle with the external environment. It is one of the physical barriers that prevent certain infections in humans.

4. This question focuses on entrainment.
a. What is entrainment?
b. What environmental cues are involved in entrainment, and which one is most influential?
c. Why is entrainment necessary?
d. Assuming that a flash of darkness is an effective zeitgeber, what impact on circadian
rhythms would you expect to result from an event such as the 2024 solar eclipse (assume
it was viewed from Carbondale IL, where totality occurred at about 2 pm)? Explain your
reasoning. You may wish to consult this phase response diagram.

e. Finally, give a real-world example of how knowledge of circadian rhythms and
entrainment has implications for human health and wellbeing or conservation biology.
This example could be from your reading or from things discussed in class.
Generate one question that requires a Punnet Squre to solve the question. Then show how you calculate the possibilities of genotype and phenotype
Briefly state the physical meaning of the electrocapillary equation (Lippman equation).
