Lab: Interdependence of Organisms

Interdependence Of Organisms

Question Being Answered:

How can the presence of one species benefit another in the same ecosystem?

Hypothesis:

If plants grow in soil that contains worms the plants growth will be greater because worms are able to help decompose organic matter and help distribute it through the soil in a form plants are able to use.

Process Of Lab:

In this lab you will grow two different groups of plants. Group A is considered the experimental group which will grow in soil with worms, Group B is considered the control group which will grow in soil without worms. After the plants grow you have to measure the plant growth for both groups and compare them.

Independent & Dependent

Independent Variable: Presence Of Worms

Dependent Variable: Plant Growth

Safety Procedure

Be sure to follow the safety procedure which means to

Wear safety goggles and lab gown while doing the experiment

Keep lab behavior purposeful

Look over the soil contents and make sure to follow warnings provided on any equipment

Wash hands and lab equipment once done with experiment

Treat living organisms with respect and provide proper care

Report any accidents that happen in the lab to your teacher

Lab Procedure

Step 1: Gather Materials

Two trays that are 10 cm 4’ deep

Potting soil

Lima bean seeds which need to be soaked overnight

Location with sunlight or growth lights

Worms

Graduated cylinder

Water

Black marker

Ruler with metric markings

Step 2: Prepare Two Trays Of Lima Bean Plants

Label the trays Control Group and Experimental Group

Add approximately 6-7 cm of soil to each tray

Plant 6 lima bean seeds in each tray being 2 cm deep and label the plants 1-6

Step 3: Give The Plants Water And Light During Sprouting Time

Keep the environments for both groups identical

Water all the plants following the watering schedule that was recommended on the seed packaging

Use the graduated cylinder to ensure the same amount of water is being given to both groups

Make sure all plants get the same amount of light

Step 4: Measure The Heights Of The Plants At The End Of Week 1

Measure the height of all twelve plants to the nearest cm. If a plant dies mark an x on the data table for that plant and write it in your notes

Use a calculator to find the average heights of the living plants in each groups

Calculate the difference in those average heights by subtracting the average height of the plants in the control group. Use this difference as a basis for comparison

Record measurement observations in your notes and the health of the plants such as leaf colors and size, wilting, unusual growth, brown spots, and any other marks you see

Step 5: Add Six Worms To The Soil Of The Experimental Group Of Plants

Write descriptive notes about the condition of the worms in your notes

Step 6: Measure The Heights Of The Plants At The End Of The Week 3

Repeat step 4

Step 7: Measure The Heights Of The Plants At The End Of Week 5

Repeat step 4

Step 8: Check The Health Of The Worms At The End Of The Study

Are the worms still alive?

Do they all seem healthy?

Have they changed in any way? If so list the ways changed

Are there any new worms

Be sure to write descriptive notes about their conditions in your notes

Step 9: Dispose Of All Material According To The Directions From Your Teacher

The power in our homes and buildings cycles at a frequency of 60Hz. If someone accidentally dropped a power line into a holding tank for frogs their muscles would immediately become stiff. This is because the high frequency stimuli is causing:_______

a. rigor mortis.
b. tetanus.
c. fatigue.

Answers

Answer:

a. rigor mortis.

Explanation:

Electricity refers to the power generated from various power sources or power plants such as hydroelectric, wind turbine, solar, nuclear, etc.

Generally, the power supplied to homes, offices and buildings cycles at a frequency of 60 Hertz or 50 Hertz depending on the parameters chosen in countries. If a power line is dropped accidentally into a holding tank for frogs, it would immediately cause their muscles to become stiff due to the current flowing through the power line i.e because the power line is energized and has electrons moving across its terminals. This stiffness is because the high frequency stimuli is causing rigor mortis.

Explanation:

The MAP kinase pathway is activated by ligand binding to a transmembrane receptor, which switches Ras on via GEF (Guanine nucleotide Exchange Factor) that counteracts GAP (GTPase Activating Protein) activity. Ras-GTP in turn activates the downstream signaling intermediates (kinases), which are activated by sequential phosphorylation. Which drug CANNOT be used to target cancer cells that have elevated receptor activation

Answers

Answer:

Inhibitor molecules that interfere with GAP activity

Explanation:

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is a pathway composed of proteins that amplify and integrate signals from receptors localized on the surface of cells and trigger the transcription of specific genes in the nucleus of the cell. In eukaryotic organisms, the MAPK pathway is known to control critical cellular processes such as, for example, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell death, etc. RAS proteins are GTPases localized to the plasma membrane involved in MAPK signaling. Moreover, the GTPase activating proteins such as RasGAP (Ras GTPase activating protein) regulate Ras-GTP bound by promoting GTP hydrolysis. It has been shown that RasGAP expression is down-regulated in different types of cancer. In this regard, it has been proposed that the interference of GAP activity should result in an enhanced Ras protein activation in cancer cells, thereby initiating tumorigenesis by inducing, for example, uncontrolled cell proliferation.

A measure is 5.6 meters off (different from) the target value of 112 meters. Calculate the percent error.​

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 5.

Explanation:

The percentage of the error in any experiment can be calculated by the ratio difference between the target value and the observed value over the target value into 100.

Percentage error =  {|Vtrue - Vobserved|/Vtrue}× 100

Solution:

percentage error = (5.6/112)*100

= 0.05*100

= 5

Thus, the correct answer is - 5.

A pair of identical twins develop leukemias, where immature white blood cells proliferate uncontrollably. In each case, the cancer cells analyzed from identical twins displayed an identical chromosomal mutation and this critical mutation was not found in the twins normal cells. The twins developed leukemia at different times in their lives. What is the best explanation for the origin of this chromosomal mutation

Answers

Answer:

The chromosomal rearrangement resulted from a rare somatic mutational event that occurred in utero

Explanation:

Leukemia is a progressive type of cancer where immature white blood cells (leukocytes) proliferate uncontrollably. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have shown that somatic mutations are relatively common in different types of leukemia such as, for example, acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Moreover, identical twins are developed from one fertilized egg (ovum) that splits and develops into two identical individuals that share all of their genes (i.e., they have exactly the same genetic information). In this case, it is expected that leukemogenesis was initiated in the utero by the occurrence of a chromosomal rearrangement and proceeded early during development as distinct clonalities. In addition, the fact that identical twins developed leukemia at different times in their lives also indicates that this malignancy wasn't caused by only one mutation, but instead it was triggered by multiple mutational events (i.e., leukemia is a multistep cancer caused by secondary genetic changes).

In genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify?

Answers

Answer:

In genetics, Hh means a heterozygote.

Explanation:

Usually, in genetics, H would be the dominant, and h would be the recessive trait. HH is usually dominant, and hh would be recessive. So, Hh would mean a heterozygote. In a heterozygote, this would mean that the recessive trait is in the genotype, but the dominant trait would still take over. This also means that sometimes, the recessive trait can be shown along with the dominant. This can be possible through co-dominance, and incomplete dominance. Hope this helps!

Answer:

CORRECT (SELECTED)

Heterozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele

Explanation:

A heterozygous individual (Hh), also known as a carrier, has a genotype with one dominant allele (H) and one recessive allele (h).

If the age of Layer 4 is 400 million years and the age of Layer 1 is 500 million years, then the age of Layer 3 is A. older than 500 million years. B. between 400 million and 500 million years. C. 500 million years. D. younger than 400 million years.

Answers

Answer:

B. between 400 million and 500 million years

Explanation:

Process of elimination  

Answer: Answer is B, Younger than 400 million years

Explanation:

The age of rock layers in a stack reflects the order in which they were deposited—the lower layers were laid down first, and then the upper layers were laid on top of them. So, the lower layers and fossils they contain are older than the upper layers and fossils. This is known as the principle of superposition.

In this example, Layer 1 was deposited first, then Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 5. Layer 1 is the oldest, and the layers get younger as you move up through the stack.

If the age of a particular layer is known, then the relative age of other layers can be determined. In this example, Layer 4 is 400 million years old. This means that the layer above it is younger than 400 million years and the layers below it are older than 400 million years. Layer 1 is 500 million years old. This means that layers above it are younger than 500 million years.

Layer 5 is above Layer 4, so it must be younger than 400 million years.

A population of drosophila flies lives in a forest and has variation in their egg-laying behavior. The majority of the flies have the trait of laying eggs in the rotting bark of trees. A small percentage of the flies have the trait of laying eggs in bark that is dampened by sap. The drosophila population moves into a new forested area that is drier, where rotting bark is harder to find than sap. How will the population change over several generations

Answers

Answer:

It will contain a larger proportion of flies that lay eggs in sap because the trait results in a higher chance of reproducing successfully and passing on the gene

Explanation:

Over the years the population of flies that lays egg in the rotten bark will reduce this is because of the low chance of reproducing and there will be an increase in the population of flies that lays egg in the sap because the flies have a higher chance of reproducing successfully leading to an increase in the population and the ability of the gene to be passed on successfully to their offspring in next generation.
