Summary Introduction
To determine: The variation in
Introduction: Biological control agents are natural enemies (like predation, parasitism, and other methods) that are used to control pests (like weeds, insects, mites, nematodes and so on) in order to generate a pest-free yields. A biological control agent such as Thelohania solenopsae is a natural enemy of red imported fire ants. These microsporidians can decline the ant’s colony by infecting and shrinking the ovaries of the queen (the female, reproducing ants).

O Avirus causes VCJD.
O A eukaryotic pathogen causes VCJD.
O A viroid cause VCJD.
O A Prion causes VCJD.
Investigating 2 newly discovered unicellular species. Species 1 was isolated from the hot springs with an average water temperature of 92 degrees Celsius. Species 2 was isolated with an average water temperature of 8 degrees Celsius. You extract and measure the amount of desaturase protein from both species.
State what you expect to observe with regards to desaturase levels in Species 2 compared to Species 1. (Refer to membrane fluidity and include an explanation of the differences in the structure of fatty acid chains).

Select one:
O Apicomplexans are named for the apical complex at one end of their cells.
Some apicomplexans parasitise multiple hosts.
Apicomplexans replicate either sexually or asexually, but not both.
O Apicomplexans are nearly all parasites.
O The apical complex of apicomplexans contains organelles, vacuoles and microtubules that facilitate entry
into host cells.

- "The mathematics of uncontrolled growth are frightening. A single cell of the bacterium E. coli would, under ideal circumstances, divide every twenty minutes. That is not particularly disturbing until you think about it, but the fact is that bacteria multiply geometrically: one becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and so on. In this way it can be shown that in a single day, one cell of E. coli could produce a super-colony equal in size and weight to the entire planet Earth." Using mathematical models of exponential growth, double check Crichton's math. Is he exaggerating? Has he underestimated? Or is he accurate? (For your calculations, assume the following: 6x1024kg per earth; 1x10-15kg per E. coli cell) He is grossly exaggerating. It would take years to reach this size. O He is taking a little poetic license. It would take more than 24 hours. O He is accurate. It would take 24 hours to create a colony this size. O He is underestimating.

Amoebas reproduce through mitosis, where they replicate all of their internal biology, then split themselves into two, each new cell carrying everything it needs to survive. Which one is Stretch? Both? How can that be, since things are only identical to themselves? We wouldn't call identical twins the same person, even though they are very similar to one another. Are neither Stretch?
