Chapter 56, Problem 5Q
Summary Introduction

To review:

Whether the coral-reefs undergo succession with reference to the given graph, based on two models, and with reference to the same graph, the differences among the coral reef community when the reef recovers and the mechanism by which the reef’s function get affected by such differences.

Given:

The change in reef rugosity and rate of calcification can be represented by two hypothetical conditions. In the graph, the two models are represented; the red line represents a model in which the reef cover declines from 45 to 10%. The blue line indicates the model in which the reef cover increases from 10 to 45%. This information is represented in the following graph:

Introduction:

The succession includes a series of stages that allow the establishment of a particular species in a region. The species is established until there are drastic changes in the environment, after which the climax species establishes itself. In case of the corals, the decline of Acropora genus is more as compared to the other coral species. The increase in the Porites genus compensates for the loss of the Acropora genus.

If left untreated, most HIV-infected individuals will develop AIDS. Current treatments are focused on highlyactive antiretroviral therapy (HAART). HAART usually consists of an orally delivered drug cocktail containingtwo different reverse transcriptase inhibitors and one other drug, such as a protease inhibitor. Question: Develop a pharmacokinetic model of HAART treatment. Consider all 3 drugs. Make sure to include adiagram that illustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Whatparameters would you need to know to find the concentration of drug in the plasma? In the T cells?(You do not need to write out or solve any equations.)
