Osteoporosis is a condition in which the activation of certain signal transduction pathways
causes calcium to be removed from bones, leaving them brittle and more likely to break
under moderate pressure.
Current research suggests that osteoporosis can be initiated under conditions of low cal-
cium intake in order to increase the availability of calcium for other biological roles in the
body.
Which of the following describes the conditions that would be most likely to initiate
osteoporosis?
A
B
с
D
insufficient amounts of calcium to allow the replication of DNA molecules during cell
division
insufficient amounts of calcium to maintain the membrane potential established by the
sodium-potassium pump
insufficient amounts of calcium ions to facilitate efficient transduction of neuronal
signals
insufficient amounts of calcium to be used in the fixation stage of the Krebs cycle in
photosynthesis
What are the requirements of bone grafts that are being used for tissue engineering applications? Describe briefly bone grafts that are already applied in the clinic. Imagine that you are not seeding cells on the bone graft prior to implantation, you are demanding cell migration from neighborhood tissues via blood. In this regard, what are the required characteristics of bone grafts to support bone regeneration and vascularization?
In general, larger plants have larger organs. So, one option for increased yields is to breed and grow for the largest size possible. However, there are practical reasons to growing smaller plants. What are some drawbacks to breeding and growing increasingly large plants? List and briefly explain two possible reasons.

- Bighorn Sheep Bighorn sheep are named for their most notable characteristic, the massive headgear worn by the males of the species. Though both sexes have horns, it is the male (ram) that grows the large spiral or curl that is normally associated with bighorn sheep. The horns are permanent and consist of a sheath of keratin covering a bony core. Horns grow throughout life and reach maximum size at 8 to 10 years of age. "The largest big-horn of which I have ever been able to get authentic record was one killed in Montana by a ranch friend of mine, and carefully weighed and measured at the time. At the shoulder he stood just 1.1 metres; he weighed very nearly 181 kilograms and his single unbroken horn was in girth 48 centimetres, and in length along the curve 107 centimetres. But such a ram is a giant. The largest I have myself shot I had no means of weighing: it was just after the rutting season, and he was as gaunt as a greyhound. At the shoulder he stood 1.04 metres; and his horns,…arrow_forwardA. Dr. Doebley and his team compared the DNA sequence of maize to that of a number of teosinte varieties from throughout Mexico.

Over the course of hundreds of years, the beer yeasts of North American and of Britain became different in terms of their genetic characteristics. Also, the flavors and characteristics of beers from the two nations became different due to metabolic differences in the yeasts active in their fermentation process. Pick two explanations of these differences: In case you aren't familiar with the homebrew type beer making process that would have been used at this point in history. A rich broth of malted barely and other carbon sources are inoculated with a small amount of live yeast/bacteria from a previous batch of beer (called pitching). This inoculated broth is incubated to support fermentation, which produces alcohol and other compounds that contribute to beer flavor. A very small amount of the live cells in this final product will be used to inoculate the next batch…arrow_forwarda) Describe age-associated changes in human bone and their consequences in terms of physiological function b) Discuss how keeping physically active may help to maintain physiological function in human bone during the ageing processarrow_forward
