Biography

I have been working in the field of nonformal science education and communication over the past 3 years at AZA-accredited institutions around New England. Biology and all its related disciplines fascinate me to no end, and my passion for the subject manifests as a desire to share it with others.

In a comparison of birds and mammals,
the condition of having four limbs is
(A) a shared ancestral character.
(B) a shared derived character.
(C) a character useful for distinguishing birds
from mammals.

EVOLUTION CONNECTION The history of life has been
punctuated by several mass extinctions. For example, the
impact of a meteorite may have wiped out most of the
dinosaurs and many forms of marine life at the end of the
Cretaceous period (see Concept 25.4$) .$ Fossils indicate that
plants were less severely affected by this mass extinction.
What adaptations may have enabled plants to withstand
this disaster better than animals?

Which of the statements about the loci of biofilm- related disease is false?
a. Biofilms are related to foodborne illnesses because they colonize food surfaces and food- processing equipment.
b. In healthcare environments, biofilms grow on ventilators, shunts, and other medical equipment.
c. Biofilms tend to colonize medical devices such as prostheses, contact lenses, and catheters.
d. Biofilms form in open wounds, burned tissue, or internal medical devices such as pacemakers.

Assuming that you could synthesize all of the nitrogen- containing compounds needed if you had nitrogen, what might you eat for a typical meal if you could fix nitrogen like some prokaryotes?
a. My meal might be fruits or vegetables and water as nitrogen is present in the highest amount in
water.
b. My meal might be fruits or vegetables, water and air as atmospheric nitrogen could be simply
absorbed.
c. My meal might be fruits or vegetables, cheese, meat, water, and air as atmospheric nitrogen
could be simply absorbed.
d. My meal might be cheese or meat, water, and air as atmospheric nitrogen could be simply
absorbed.

a. Some prokaryotes that live near deep-sea vents today use hydrogen as an energy source.
b. Fossilized stromatolites that are 3.5 billion years old are found near deep-sea vents.
c. Extremophiles that exist today live in a variety of extremophiles that exist today live in a variety are high in salinity.
d. The chemical composition of water around deep- sea vents is the same as it was on early Earth.

A bacterial species that is a methanogen is discovered. If you wanted to build on this discovery to better
understand the evolution of mechanisms related to the ability to capture, store, and use free energy in
prokaryotes, which question would you pose to answer?
a. Have metabolic pathways evolved separately in Bacteria and Archaea?
b. Should all methanogens be classed as Archaea in evolutionary phylogens be classed as Archaea in
c. Have methanogens evolved to live in both
d. Did the methanogenic bacteria species also evolve as a strict anaerobe?
