There are many reasons why all humans do not perceive sounds similarly in our environment, including adaptation, hearing loss and/or deafness.
For 2A-2D, first determine whether the scenario is an example of sensory adaptation, conduction deafness, sensorineural deafness, and/or central deafness.
Second, for the scenarios that are examples of deafness, explain briefly how the scenario leads to deafness (i.e., how does the scenario alter normal auditory processing). If you have selected sensory adaptation as an answer, explain briefly why the scenario does not fall under the categorization of deafness. Use your own words to briefly explain - simply listing definitions is not sufficient. (2.5 points each for matching, 5 points each for correct justification)
2A. Listening to excessive loud noises everyday over years that causes loss of stereocilia
2B. Hearing construction outside when it first begins, but no longer noticing the sound minutes later
2C. Difficulty understanding speech, but no damage to ears or ability to understand nonverbal sounds
2D. A hole in the tympanic membrane caused by an ear infection

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 2A Sensorineural deafness

              2B Sensory adaptation

              2C Central deafness

              2D Conductive deafness

Explanation: The human ear is divided into 3 parts:

Outer Ear: auricle, ear canal and tympanic membrane;Middle Ear: eardrum, tympanic cavity and ossicles (malleus, incus and stapes);Inner Ear: oval window, semicircular ducts (attached to cochlea and nerves), cochlea and auditory tube;

The Sensorineural deafness is a type of deafness caused by a damage in the inner ear, either the cochlea or the auditory nerve. It can happen because of medicine toxicity, exposure to noise along the years etc.

So, from the scenarios above, 2A is consistent with sensorineural deafness  since stereocilia are hair cells of inner ear.

Sensory adaptation is a phenomenom that happens when an individual's sensory receptors is exposed to a stimuli for a prolonged period of time. For example, the situation described in 2B. It is not considered deafness because it is not caused by a damage in any part of the ear.

Central deafness is a very rare case of deafness. The damage in this type of deafness is in the brain and not in any of the 3 parts of the ear. That's why the scenario in 2C is the example of this.

Conductive deafness is the second most common type of ear problem and it occurs in the outer ear. One of the causes is blockage in the ear canal by the ear wax, external bodies, osteomas (bone growth) or otitis (oute ear infection). An example of this type of deafness is scenario 2D.

In humans, the dominant allele N causes an abnormal shape of the patella in the knee, whereas n is the recessive normal allele. A separate gene is concerned with finger length, and the dominant allele B causes abnormally short fingers, whereas b is the recessive normal allele. A study focused on people who have both abnormal patellae and short fingers. These individuals were N/n . B/b in genotype, having inherited the N allele from one parent and the B allele from the other parent. These N/n . B/b people mated with normal spouses, producing 40 progeny classified as follows: Normal 3 Abnormal knees and short fingers 2 Abnormal knees only 17 Short fingers only 18

Carbon is getting stuck in reservoirs (atmosphere and ocean) which is leading to climate
change. Which of the following is not a reason for this issue?
O Decrease in plants means more carbon in the atmosphere
Increase in plants means more carbon in the atmosphere
O Less organisms in the oceans prolongs decomposition trapping carbon in the ocean
O Increased use of factories and burining of fossil fuels increases amount of carbon in the
atmosphere

Answers

Answer:

Increase in plants means more carbon in the atmosphere

Explanation:

The second option is not a reason for the issue. This is because plants remove carbon from the atmosphere for their life processes.

During the process of photosynthesis, green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight using water and carbon dioxide.

Plants do not trap carbon. They ensure the movement of carbon in nature. Other choices shows how carbon get trapped in the atmosphere and ocean.

Which of the following bones are considered to be the MOST proximal?
metatarsals
clavicle
ulna
olecranon

Answers

Answer:

Of the group of bones mentioned, the most proximal is the clavicle, which is part of the shoulder girdle.

Explanation:

Proximal is a reference term used in anatomy to indicate the structures that are closest to the center of the body.

The bones mentioned -clavicle, olecranon, ulna and metatarsals- are related to the function of the limbs. The clavicle is the closest bone to them, located between the neck and the thorax, on each side of the midline of the body.

Regarding the other options, other bones are distal, as they move away from the center of the body. In order from less distal to more distal they are found:

Olecranon, which is a bone eminence of the ulna, in the upper limb. Ulna or cubitus, which is part of the bones of the forearm. Metatarsals are the bones that form part of the foot.

Grapes growing on a vine are observed to shrink slightly during the day and increase in size at night. This is because:
a. developing fruits, such as grapes, transpire a lot of water to stay cool.
b. photosynthesis to produce sugar occurs in the light, but respiration and, therefore, the growth of new cells occurs mostly in the dark.
c. in leaves, phloem flow to growing sinks only occurs when the stomata are closed, because the transport capacity of the xylem is too small to supply water for both transpiration and phloem flow.
d. during the day, transpiration pulls on the water in the whole plant, causing the grapes to shrink slightly.

b. photosynthesis to produce sugar occurs in the light, but respiration and, therefore, the growth of new cells occurs mostly in the dark.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the means by which green plants produce their foods by the use of sunlight, chlorophyll and carbon dioxide.

Answers

Answer:

I think it's chemical bonds I'm not of that helped

The changes occurs in chemical bond during a chemical reaction between two compounds. The correct option is B.

What is chemical bond?

A chemical bond is a long-lasting point of attraction among atoms, ions, or molecules which then allows chemical compounds to form.

Ionic bonds are formed by the electrostatic force between oppositely charged ions, whereas covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons.

A covalent bond is the strongest bond in chemistry. In such bonding, each atom shares electrons that bind them together.

The bonds that hold molecules together break apart and form new bonds during chemical reactions, rearranging atoms into different substances.

Each bond requires a different amount of energy to break or form; without this energy, the reaction cannot occur, and the reactants remain unchanged.

Thus, the correct option is B.

You remove pus from a wound and try to identify the pathogen multiple ways. The multi-locus gene tree showed your organism was most closely related to Streptococcus pyogenes but the 16S tree said it was most closely related to Streptococcus pneumoniae. Describe why this might be the case and other ways you should try to identify this organism.

Answers

Answer:

It occurs because phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences may have insufficient resolution for distinguishing between closely related species

Another genomic method for streptococcal identification is whole-genome analysis (WGS)

Explanation:

The phylogenetic analysis of the highly conserved 16S rRNA gene sequences has recently been used to distinguish between prokaryotic species. However, this gene sometimes may show low resolution to distinguish between closely related species, and it has been suggested potential horizontal transference of rRNA genes. Moreover, multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) has also been used to identify species. MLSA analysis consists of analyzing simultaneously different genes and this technique has shown to have a high capacity for establishing relationships between species within a genus or genera within a family. Finally, whole-genome analysis (WGS) is the most powerful tool for distinguishing between closely species. WGS is a technique that provides a very high resolution which is based on the analysis of large-scale genome sequencing data generated by next sequencing generation (NGS) technologies.
