Summary Introduction
To review:
The comparison and difference in the jasmonic acid and ethylene production in two experimental conditions.
Introduction:
Herbivores like hornworm caterpillar, feed on Nicotiana attenuata (tobacco plant). This plant produces nicotine and Jasmonic acid as secondary metabolites to defend itself. The response of plant can be of two types; one in response to mechanical damage and other in response to the predation by the animal.

Why valinomycin is highly selective for K+ relative to Na+?
(Subject: Biomembrane)
CYP2E1 has a much higher Km for ethanol than ADH (11 mM versus 0.05 mM,respectively). When greater portions of ethanol are ingested (0.08% or 17 mM), which part of the statement would be true?
If extracellular Ca2+ was returned to normal, but no Mg2+ was present in your preparation, what do
predict would happen to the threshold to induce LTP? Give a brief rationale for your prediction.

- A female neonate did well until approximately 24 hours of age when she became lethargic. A sepsis workup proved negative. At 56 hours, she started showing focal seizure activity. The plasma ammonia level was found to be 1,100 μmol/L (normal 5–35 μmol/L). Quantitative plasma amino acid levels revealed a marked elevation of argininosuccinate.19.3 Which one of the following enzymic activities is most likely to be deficient in this patient?
