Summary Introduction

To explain:

The factors which preclude the ability to eradicate malaria. Also, explain the eradication of malaria if an effective vaccine was developed for its treatment.

Concept introduction:

Malaria is a disease which is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito and is very potent life threatening disease. Infected mosquito is responsible for carrying Plasmodium parasite and releasing the pathogen into the blood stream. Common symptoms of malaria include high fever, nausea, vomiting, shaking chills, and abdominal pain.

Explanation of Solution

Several factors and procedures which have been proved very beneficial in the eradication of malaria are described as below:

(1) By using various insecticides in the areas which possess specifically high population of mosquitoes, eradication of malaria to some level of extent can be achieved.

(2) Eradication of malaria can be done by cleaning of draining swamps.

(3) Regular cleaning of areas where chances of breeding of mosquitoes are very high should be done on a regular basis.

Various types of vaccines are under development with aim of complete eradication of malaria. These vaccines include synthetic peptide vaccines, DNA (Deoxyribose nucleic acid) vaccine, and recombinant particle vaccines. Till now, no highly effective vaccine has been developed which would completely eradicate malaria. If a reliable and effective vaccine is developed in the future, then complete eradication of malaria can be achieved.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…
Normal dive (for diving humans) normal breathing dive normal breathing Oz level CO2 level urgent need to breathe Oz blackout zone high CO2 triggers breathing 6. This diagram shows rates of oxygen depletion and carbon dioxide accumulation in the blood in relation to the levels needed to maintain consciousness and trigger the urgent need to breathe in diving humans. How might the location and slope of the O₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • How might the location and slope of the CO₂ line differ for diving marine mammals such as whales and dolphins? • • Draw in predicted lines for O2 and CO2, based on your reasoning above. How might the location of the Urgent Need to Breathe line and the O2 Blackout Zone line differ for diving marine mammals? What physiological mechanisms account for each of these differences, resulting in the ability of marine mammals to stay submerged for long periods of time?
