While on a backpacking trip you are bitten by a poisonous snake and transferred to the nearest
hospital, where you receive human immunoglobulin treatment against the poisonous snake venom.
You recover from your snakebite and return home. One year later during an environmental studies
field trip, you are bitten once again by the same type of snake. Please select the correct answers:
O Compared to the first snakebite, are you equally sensitive to the venom from the second bite. There are no
residual cells or antibodies that were involved in the original encounter with this snake venom and, therefore,
no recall response.
You are not protected from the second bite. The immunoglobulin you received 1 year ago protected you
temporarily but those antibodies are now gone and you have no memory B cells to produce new antibodies
during the second exposure.
Antibodies in the serum bound to the snake venom and neutralized its ability to cause damage. Phagocytes
then engulfed and destroyed…
These are true about Veterinary Pharmacy, except:
A) Animals can be prescribed human drugs
B) The Green Book has list of drugs approved for animals
C) Drugs are compounded for animals
D) Animals have the same drug biodistribution
forest sites than in forest fragments, whereas there were no significant differences
between fragments of different sizes. These results provide further evidence for the
effects of habitat size on the phorid-Acromyrmex system in a tropical rain forest,
based on the abundance of parasitoids both as adults in the field and as reared
immature phorids in the laboratory.
Phorid parasitized leafcutter ants were most abundant in areas of continuous
forest, and less abundant in the forest fragments.
O Phorid flies are important parasitoids of leafcutter ants
nd leafcutter ants can be found in Brazil's Southeastern
Both phorid flies
Atlantic Forest.
The study provides evidence that this parasitoid-host interaction between
phorid flies and leafcutter ant differs between continuous forest and forest
fragments.
Phorid flies were just as abundant in forest fragments as they were in
continuous forest, but were less successful in parasitizing leafcutter ants.

- Frogs feed on grasshoppers, and snakes feed on frogs. Thus, an increase in the number of snakes 16) would cause the number of grasshoppers to _____. A) increaseB) remain the sameC) There is not enough information to determine. D) decrease and whyarrow_forwardFoxes are carnivores that bury their food to consume it later. They can capture and bury food at a very fast rate. Explain how this adaptation helps them when competing for resources. A) The foxes bat-like ears radiate body heat and help keep it cool on summer days. B) The foxes' thick fur gives it the ability to maintain its core temperature during the cold nights. C) The foxes' claws give them the ability to capture and bury their food very quickly, giving them an advantage over the competition. D) The foxes' speed, allows them to run faster than any of the other animals in its habitat.arrow_forwardMany fish purchased and consumed by humans are bred and raised in fish farms. The fish on a farm can be infected by parasites called sea lice, which are small crustaceans that feed on a fish's blood and skin, which may injure or even kill the fish. Jansen and colleagues (2012) analyzed sea lice infections on trout and salmon farms. Fish farms provided data on the numbers of sea lice found on their captive fish. The scientists compared the number of sea lice with the "local farmed fish biomass density," which is a measure of population density that accounts for both the number and biomass (or size) of fish on a farm. Other research has also found a relationship between sea lice infestation and mortality. From this figure and information, how does density of fish on a farm affect the number of sea lice per fish? What type of factor is regulating the size of farmed fish populations and population growth? 100 200 300 400 Local farmed fish biomass density (metric tons) 3. 2. Sea lice countsarrow_forward
- It appears that infection by Plasmodium is negative for Anopheles. We also showed in class that the mosquito immune system can be upregulated to limit or terminate Plasmodium infection of these mosquitoes. So why don’t we see natural selection to upregulate the mosquito’s immune system and get rid of that parasite? Best explanation. Upregulating the immune system comes at the cost of shortening life span and thus (most probably) reproductive success Having a Plasmodium infection is negative for the mosquito, but it protects against much worse pathogens Upregulation of the immune system in Plasmodium leads to more rapid development of Plasmodium, causing even greater problems for Anopheles Statement is wrong. This upregulation was done with genetic engineering in a lab. Alleles to do something like that do not exist in naturearrow_forward"Although PTC is not found in nature, the ability to taste it correlates strongly with the ability to taste other bitter substances that do occur naturally, many of which are toxins."
