Concept explainers
To determine:
The stage of U.S. population on the S-curve.
Introduction:
S growth curve or sigmoid growth curve illustrates the growth of population in a new environment, where the density of population raises slowly initially, then exponential growth takes place and then declines with negative acceleration phase and the population stabilizes at zero growth rate.
To determine:
The factors which might cause the population to stabilize.
Introduction:
The stability in the population comes at the negative acceleration phase when growth rate becomes zero. When fertility rate become equal to mortality rate then the stabilization of the population occurs.
To determine: immigrate in the US in the search of employment. Recession leads to the loss of jobs in the country.
Whether the recession in the U.S. reduced population growth.
Introduction:
U.S. is a developed country and people from the other corners of the earth.

When AZT is taken up by cells, it is converted to AZT triphosphate. Explain how thiscompound could interfere with DNA synthesisarrow_forward
- In the mevalonate pathway, three acetyl-CoA are combined to give a C5 product, IPP.A. Write out a 5-step general acid/general base mechanism to explain how HMG-CoA isformed from 3 acetyl-CoA (Note: we are leaving out some details. The enzyme HMG-CoA actuallyuses its Cys residues to accept acetyl groups from 2 acetyl-CoA, making new thioesters and liberatingCoASH) B. Two NADPH and two H+ are required to form mevalonic acid from HMG-CoA. Circle the Hatoms that came from NADPH, and put a square around any H atoms that came from H+.C. Three ATP are used to convert mevalonic acid to IPP.
