Chapter 41.1, Problem 1CS
Core Skill: Modeling The goal of this modeling challenge is to draw a model showing how smooth muscle contraction affects the width of a tube such as a bronchiole.
Modeling Challenge: Smooth muscle often surrounds tubelike structures in animal bodies, where it controls the degree to which the tubes are opened. In the disease asthma, smooth muscle tissue in the small air tubes called bronchioles is sometimes in a highly contracted state. Shown below is a model of a fully opened bronchiole in a human. Draw another model of the bronchiole as you think it will appear when the person is experiencing asthmatic symptoms (contracted smooth muscle tissue). Referring to your model, explain why individuals with asthma have difficulty breathing when their symptoms flare up.
A healthy bronchiole in a human lung. Note that the smooth muscle tissue is in a relaxed state, and the bronchiole is fully opened.

13. Practice Calculations: 3 colonies were suspended in the following dilution series and then a
viable plate count and microscope count was performed. Calculate IDF's, TDF's and then
calculate the CFU/mL in each tube by both methods. Finally calculate the cells in 1 colony by
both methods. Show all of your calculations in the space provided on the following pages.

- You have been hired as a public relations specialist to give invertebrates a good name. After all, they are much more than just creepy crawly bugs! Your first task though is to convince yourself that is true. The best way to do that is to start close to home. Find something in your house that is a product obtained directly from an invertebrate or only due to an invertebrate’s actions. Describe the product, its function and utility, as well as any human manufactured alternatives. Be sure to highlight the advantages of obtaining this directly from nature. Keep in mind, a product can be something you use, wear, eat, or enjoy for its visual appeal.arrow_forwardUse the following tree diagram to answer Questions #8-10. 8) Which of the following two animals are the most closely related based on the tree to the left? a) Pig and camel b) Hippo and pig c) Deer and cow 9) CIRCLE on the tree diagram where the common ancestor between a hippo and a cow is. 10) Put a SQUARE on the tree diagram where the common ancestor between a pig and a peccary is.arrow_forwardExplain: Healthy Cell Function Overview→ Briefly describe how a healthy cell usually works: metabolism (ATP production), pH balance, glycogen storage, ion transport, enzymes, etc. Gene Mutation and Genetics Part→ Focus on the autosomal recessive mutation and explain: How gene mutation affects the cell.
