From the four chamber view, which way must you angle the probe to obtain the LVOT view?  (on a baby)

Oxidative phosphorylation is a defining reaction of cellular respiration. Briefly summarize OxPhos. Be sure to describe the role of oxidation in this process and the molecules that are being oxidized. Discuss the role of phosphorylation in this process and the molecules that are being phosphorylated. Finally, discuss the importance of O2. Answers should demonstrate an understanding of the cytochromes, enzymes, reactants/substrates, and membranes involved in the process. The compound 2,4 dinitrophenol (DNP) is capable of making mitochondrial membranes permeable to protons.  Biochemists refer to it as an “uncoupler”.  Would ETC and chemiosmosis still happen in cells treated with DNP? Your answer should explain which reaction(s) would still continue, and which reaction(s) would no longer work when cells are exposed to DNP.  

In the lab, we investigated the molecular and genetic basis of sickle-cell disease.  (1 point each blank) Sickle-cell disease occurs when a person inherits how many copies of the sickle cell allele (HBS) from their parents (total)?   ____________________ Being heterozygous at the hemoglobin gene increases your resistance to ____________________

Based on the gel below, answer the following questions.  Recreate the CRC plasmid map with the restriction enzymes positions labeled on the provided paper for both lanes 2 and 3. You can turn in your scratch paper with your name at the top to be graded.   

Outline your plan of care with goals of treatment, follow up, and patient education for pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions 

In explaining to a client during their initial prenatal exam the importance of testing pregnant persons for gonorrhea, the nurse should tell the client that gonorrhea can cause which problem in the neonate?   

Label the four-chambered heart view below:  Be VERY specific Red circle: [red] Green arrow (chamber name): [green] Yellow line (what valve) : [yellow] Blue arrow (what structure): [blue]

The citric acid cycle (including the transition step or pyruvate oxidation) is essential for cellular respiration, processing pyruvate to produce energy intermediates. By the end of the cycle: Explain the fate of the carbons that entered the cycle as part of pyruvate. Identify which molecules now carry the stored energy originally present pyruvate. Describe how electrons are captured during the cycle and where they are sent after the cycle concludes.

Based on the following case, what is your diagnosis? 

During speech, the portion of the respiratory cycle used for inspiration is ______ than during quiet tidal breathing.
