If we were to compute P(lemon | orange) what factor would we multiple by P(orange | lemon)?

The Burkholderia gladioli bacterium creates a toxin called Bongkrekic acid, which blocks ADP transport across the inner mitochondrial membrane, thereby decreasing ATP production. The cell is still able to make some ATP.  Through what process is this accomplished? 

Two-dimensional motion: Object A has a position as a function of time given by A(t) = (3.00 m/s)t + (1.00 m/s2)t2. Object B has a position as a function of time given by B(t) = (4.00 m/s)t + (-1.00 m/s2)t2. All quantities are SI units. What is the distance between object A and object B at time

You have a membrane that separates a solution with high osmolarity from a solution with low osmolarity. To prevent osmotic flow of water across the membrane, to which of the two solutions should pressure be applied?

Equilibrium: A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follows: P is the upward force the woman exerts on the crate, C is the vertical contact force exerted on the crate by the floor, and W is the weight of the crate. How are the magnitudes of these forces related while the woman is trying unsuccessfully to lift the crate?

In caring for a stage IV pressure ulcer, the nurse assesses the purulent drainage as creamy yellow with a necrotic odor. The nurse is aware that this type of exudate is probably caused by:

A 0.397-g sample of a gas occupies a volume of 275 mL at 10.°C and 365 torr. What is the molar mass of the gas?   (10pts)

Free fall: A ball is projected upward at time t = 0.0 s, from a point on a roof 90 m above the ground. The ball rises, then falls and strikes the ground. The initial velocity of the ball is if air resistance is negligible. The time when the ball strikes the ground is closest to

Projectiles: What is the maximum distance we can shoot a dart, from ground level, provided our toy dart gun gives a maximum initial velocity of and air resistance is negligible?
