Chapter 37.5, Problem 12SAQ
Summary Introduction

To draw:

The path of blood flow through heart, lungs, and body of a fish, mammals, or bird.

Introduction:

Blood is a fluid which has the property of flowing through different pathways inside the body of an organism. Blood has several components such as RBCs, WBCs, platelets and plasma. Blood act as a carrier for different types of materials like, nutrients, waste products, gases like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide.

Fig.2: The blood flow diagram in mammals or in birds.

The pathway of blood flow in the fish is given in the diagram above. In fishes, the deoxygenated blood enters into the heart, first it goes into the atrium and then, it enters into the ventricle. From the heart it enters into the gills where the blood becomes oxygenated. The oxygenated blood goes to the all parts of the body tissues. From the body tissues is returns back to the heart.

In mammals or birds the deoxygenated blood enters into the heart through vena cava and goes to the right atrium followed by the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, the blood is entered into the lungs by the pulmonary artery. The blood is now oxygenated and enters into the left atrium followed by the left ventricle. The oxygenated blood comes out of the heart through the aorta and is transported to the rest of the body.

Conclusion

The blood is fluid in nature which continuously flows in the body of an organism like fishes, birds and mammals through a number of blood vessels present in the body.

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase
Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
Molecular Biology Please help. Thank you. Discuss/define the following:(a) poly A polymerase (b) trans-splicing (c) operon
