When it comes to the manufacture of antibiotics, what advantages do soil bacteria and fungus have? Antibiotics should only be used when absolutely necessary. Why?
Which of the following explains why pea plants in high soil nitrogen conditions have
so few rhizobial nodules on their roots?
When there is already high soil nitrogen there is a very large cost to having
rhizobial nodules.
The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules fix nitrogen when there isn't enough in the
soil, so when there is already high soil nitrogen there is no advantage for the pea
plant to expend the extra energy housing the rhizobia.
The rhizobia bacteria in the nodules use nitrogen when there isn't enough in the
soil, so in conditions of high soil nitrogen the plant tries to exclude the rhizobia
to keep the nitrogen for itself.
When there is already high soil nitrogen there is no benefit to the plant to
having rhizobial nodules, which can rob the plant of the high nitrogen supplies
so that the rhizobia bacteria do not have to fix the nitrogen themselves.
Compare and contrast between matrix based transdermal delivery system and reservoir based transdermal delivery systems. Use fully annotated diagrams to support your answer.
In you answer you should give consideration to the composition of the transdermal delivery system, where the drug is stored and how it is released

- SimpLENI will be competing in a Lugaw Cooking Competition in May. She will be using onions as a special ingredient and garnish in her recipe. She then planted onions in two soil treatments labelled as ANGAT and UNITY. After a week, SimpLENI noticed that her onions in ANGAT increased in number compared to that of onions in UNITY. She then hypothesized that the soil treatments affected the cellular division in the roots of onions contributing to the difference in yield. To prove this, SimpLENI prepared longitudinal sections of onion root tips.

This compound, which was named compactin, came from the blue-green mold Penicillium citrinum Pen-5 that was isolated from a rice sample collected at a grain shop in Kyoto.
