Analysis:

1. describe the relationship between the size of the sandpaper and the weathering of the cubes?

2. what type of weathering does the shaking represent?

3. which sandpaper was most effective in breaking down the sugar cubes the fastest and why?

4. what would happen if you shook the jar harder? longer? why?

5. where might you see a similar type of weathering in nature?

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Use this dichotomous key for insect identification to identify the insect shown. 1. a. insect has one pair of wings. order diptera b. insect has two pairs of wings. go to #2 2. a. front wings thicker in texture than hind wings go to #3. b. front and hind wings are same texture throughout. go to #4 3. a. front wings are short order dermaptera b. front wings cover entire abdomen order coleoptera 4. a. wings with scale on all parts of their area. order lepidoptera b. wings without scales go to #5. 5. a. hind wings smaller than front wings. order ephemeroptera b. front and hind wings nearly equal in size. order odonata the insect pictured is in the order diptera. ephemeroptera. coleoptera. odonata.
