Description
Topic 4 DQ 1- You believe you have identified a new organism. What special methods would you use to classify this organism?
Topic 4 DQ 2 – While reading Chapter 12, pick any one eukaryotic organism and explain its characteristic features in 50–100 words.
Topic 2 DQ 1 – The stroke volume ejected on the next heartbeat after premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is usually larger than normal. Explain why this is the case. (HINT: It should be noted that at a given heart rate, the interval between a PVC and the next normal beat is longer than the interval between two normal beats.)
Topic 3 DQ 1 – Children who suffer from protein malnutrition because their diets are high in starch and low in protein often develop kwashiorkor. This condition is characterized by a protruding belly caused by a fluid-filled abdominal cavity called ascites. What causes the markedly distended abdomen? Please relate your answer to the pressures involved with bulk flow at the capillaries.
Topic 3 DQ 2 – Read “In Search of a Blood Substitute” in Chapter 11 of your textbook. Which of the hemoglobin manipulation approaches do you believe is the best approach? Support your decision. In addition, explain why blood pharming would be best by mass producing type O negative red blood cells rather than other blood types.
