Scientists studying illnesses caused by chemically contaminated food conduct research to minimize the effects of these diseases on society. these chemicals harm the body through interactions between the digestive system and the immune system. scientists conducting this research are likely to describe which of these interactions between the digestive and immune systems?

Sampling lake water for microscopic organisms is not as easy as it sounds when you want to both count and identify species. in a given water sample, your bacteria of choice can be rare or difficult to culture, particularly given the mixture of bacteria in a biofilm. which of the following culture media would be best for growing fecal coliforms when they are relatively less abundant than other bacteria in the lake? anaerobic culture medium enrichment culture medium complex culture medium basic culture medium

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?
