1-1. The SARS-CoV-2 is an enveloped virus, meaning it is surrounded by a bilayer of membrane that it acquires as it exits the host cell. a. What is the host membrane bilayer made of? b. What is the other main macromolecule that comprises the “fluid mosaic” model of a cell membrane? 1-2. To gain entry, spikes of the SARS-CoV-2 bind to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) found in epithelial cells especially of the respiratory and oral passageways. As such, these cells...

1.In early March, it was reported that two main strains of SARS-CoV-2 had been identified, termed S and L, with the S type being the less virulent ancestral form representing about 30% of prevalence and the more virulent L type having descended from the S type and representing about 70% of prevalence. However, the prevalence of the more virulent L type seems to have decreased after early January, and it is thought that this resulted from human intervention against this...

5.To gain entry, spikes of the SARS-CoV-2 bind to
angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) found in epithelial cells
especially of the respiratory and oral passageways. As such, these
cells are susceptible to infection by SARS-CoV-2. ACE2 is a protein
consisting of multiple alpha-helices that is embedded in, and
spans, the membrane. What is this type of protein called, and what
structure do the alpha helices represent?
6.Following binding of spike proteins to ACE2, SARS-CoV-2 likely
gains entry into the cell either...

1. The virus hijacks the cell, and RNA polymerases produce the complement to the positive stranded RNA genome. We can call these strands negative strands, and they then serve as templates for RNA polymerases to produce their complement. How does the sequence of these strands, the complement to the negative strands, compare with the original viral genome? 2-1. RNA polymerases lack proofreading ability. Define proofreading ability and describe its importance in replication of DNA genomes. a. Why is this a...

Carolina Savirana Craz 3/12/20 GECC-Polymerase Chain Reaction 1. What is the purpose of the polymerase chain reaction? a. To repair damaged DNA b. To make copies of entire chromosomes c. To make copies of specific regions of DNA d. To prepare cells for cell division 2. The polymerase chain reaction is most comparable to what cellular process? a. Mitosis b. Replication c. Transcription d. Translation 3. When enzymes are elongating (building) a newly synthesized DNA strand in PCR, new nucleotides...

please answer all the question to get a like. Part III Dr. Hernandez sits down with Ann and her partner. The doctor is sorry to report that Ann has breast cancer; however, because it was caught early and responds to estrogen and progesterone, the prognosis is good. At this point it looks like the cancer is stage 1. However, as Ann is young, the doctor wants to perform a couple of tests. The first test is a genetic sequencing test...

The Case Study in Cancer Part I Ann is a 27-year-old nurse working at the local hospital in surgery. She had worked hard to move into the specialty, and she was enjoying her career, friends, and family. She and her partner had been living together for about a year, and she was content. As a nurse, Ann knew the importance of doing breast self-exams, and did them regularly. In the shower one morning, she felt a lump she wasn’t familiar...

It's a weak acid strong base titration
Experiment 4: Identification of an unknown acid by titration Page 2 of 15 Background In this experiment, you will use both qualitative and quantitative properties to determine an unknown acid's identity and concentration. To do this analysis, you will perform a titration of your unknown acid sample-specifically a potentiometric titration where you use a pH meter and record pH values during the titration, combined with a visual titration using a color indi- cator...
