Is this a test question? --> © 2011 FLVS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pre-test it doesnt matter whether i get it wrong or right i just dont get the question itsself

thomaster (thomaster):

alright then :) what do you see in the picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm thats the thing i haven't been introduced into the lesson so my mind is blank - i believe it is a cell

thomaster (thomaster):

Yes it is indeed a cell Do you know anything about cell organelles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its an analogous to an organ

thomaster (thomaster):

yes, the arrow is pointing at a certain organelle. Do you know which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no not exactly

thomaster (thomaster):

Oke give me a sec i got a nice image

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

thomaster (thomaster):

Couldn't find the one i was looking for but this one will do too

thomaster (thomaster):

At which one of these organelles is the arrow pointing in your image?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lysosomes or the vacuole

thomaster (thomaster):

Look at the cell/organelle size ratio. Aren't the lysosomes and vacuoles way to small to match with your image?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea they are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i figured because it was round shaped that it had to do with one another

thomaster (thomaster):

There's another round shaped organelle that's way bigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nucleus ?

thomaster (thomaster):

Yes :) What do you know about the nucleus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um ,The nucleus in a eukaryotic cell.... that control center or brain of the cell. It stores all of the genetic information of the organism and what not ...

thomaster (thomaster):

correct. now look at your options. Which one would you choose?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the control center *

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one ?

thomaster (thomaster):

yes, the arrow is pointing at the nucleus where the genetic information is stored \(\Huge\ddot\smile\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow i knew it had something to do with the first choice -_- but thanks for the help ..

thomaster (thomaster):

no problemo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you assist me on one more thing ?

thomaster (thomaster):

Sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We often call bacteria ‘germs’ and think of them as cells that makes us sick. Argue against this idea. Provide two ways in which bacteria are helpful.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got these two ways : (1)Bacteria in human intestines aid in the digestion of certain foods; (2)Production of cheese, yogurt, and other foods

thomaster (thomaster):

Alright first of all germ is another word for micro organism. The ones that make us sick are called pathogens. We can't live without bacteria, they actually protect us from disease. They break down food in the digestive system, this way we can get more nutrition out of the food. There are many ways in which bacteria are helpful in the body Bacteria are also very helpful in the production of food. You need bacteria to produce yoghurt, or cheese. the bacteria in yoghurt convert sugar into lactic acid to give it a better taste.

thomaster (thomaster):

you're absolutley right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a quick yes or no answer here Your doctor diagnoses you with Strep throat, and then prescribes you an antibiotic to take for 10 days. After 7 days, you feel much better and no longer show any symptoms. Is it ok to go ahead and stop taking the antibiotic?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@thomaster

thomaster (thomaster):

No always finish the prescribtion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all

thomaster (thomaster):

you're welcome :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you explain why? @thomaster
