Method used for the secondary treatment of wastewater

Conventional activated sludge is a common method used for the secondary treatment of wastewater that can remove both carbon and nitrogen from wastewater by switching between oxic (aerobic) and anoxic (anaerobic) conditions. Describe the metabolic processes that are used in conventional activated sludge including the electron donors and acceptors, and the groups of organisms involved. […]

The evolution of modern eukaryotes

Several theories on the evolution of modern eukaryotes have been proposed. Based on what is currently known, describe how modern plants evolved from the initial evolution of the eukaryotic lineage to their modern form. Include the distinct steps that were required, the organisms involved at each step, and the evidence that exists to support this.

Ligand-gated ion channels in post-synaptic cell membranes

Ligand-gated ion channels in post-synaptic cell membranes convert (chemical or electrical) signals into (chemical or electrical) A/ ones.   Many neurotransmitter receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that open in the (presynaptic or postsynaptic) cell membrane in response to neurotransmitters released by the (presynaptic or postsynaptic) A/ neuron.

The formation of clathrin-coated vesicles

Suppose you are studying an autoimmune disease thought to involve a defect in transport via clathrin-coated vesicles. In order to characterize the expression of CLTC, a gene that encodes a protein involved in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles, you perform immunolabeling and qPCR. The data you obtained is shown below. Figure A shows representative immunolabeling […]
