Plastics can take thousands of years to naturally break down in the environment. Scientists have discovered an enzyme (a special type of protein) that naturally breaks down

plastic. If scientists were to genetically modify a bacteria to make this enzyme what impact would the enzyme most likely have on the environment?

O

The bacteria could be used to clean up plastic pollution

O

The bacteria could breed with native bacteria and cause more pollution

The bacteria would start destroying native wildlife and have a negative impact on biodiversity

o

The bacteria would not be able break down plastic in nature having no impact on the environment

An impact that this enzyme would most likely have on the environment is that: A. the bacteria could be used to clean up plastic pollution.

Pollution refers to a biological and chemical process that leads to the physical degradation, destruction and contamination of the environment, especially due to an emission of harzardous, poisonous and toxic chemical compounds (substances) or littering of wastes around.

Based on the information provided, an impact that this enzyme would most likely have on the environment is that the bacteria could be used to clean up plastic pollution because its genetic make-up has been modified with an enzyme that naturally breaks down plastic.

"The ‘luxury’ of having a human rights standard is to be expected in the advanced industrial democracies of the world because these countries are currently experiencing economic stability, flourishing agriculture, and reasonably stable populations. But in the developing world, the situation is more often reversed. Poverty in India, hunger in the Sahel [sub-Saharan West Africa], population pressures in China, or war and terrorism in Somalia all speak of continuing difficulties in trying to secure basic human rights for all people around the world. The so-called North-South dichotomy is a real one—part economic, part ideological, part ecological. In 1992, the [United Nations] Human Development report noted that ‘developing countries enter the global market as unequal partners and leave with unequal rewards. Furthermore, by 1990, the richest 20% of countries had national incomes 60 times greater than those of the poorest 20% of countries. ’ And, on the level of personal income the richest 20% of the world’s people get at least 150 times more than the poorest 20%. It is important to acknowledge these issues while at the same time attempting to move the international system toward a greater global human rights standard. "

a) Describe the author’s main argument about efforts to establish a global "human rights standard. "


b) Identify ONE historical development in the twentieth century that provides a context for the emergence of the universal human rights movement.


c) Explain ONE development in the late twentieth or early twenty-first centuries that would undermine the author’s argument that developing countries are unable "to secure basic human rights" due to ongoing economic and political problems.

From a biological perspective, a low level of the neurotransmitter serotonin is associated with depression. Repetitive physical exercise can increase a person's level of serotonin. What conclusion can be drawn from this information? Exercise is a healthy addition to treatment for depression. Unconscious drives influence neurotransmitter levels. If an athlete feels depressed, he isn't practicing enough. Physically fit people are not at risk for depression. People can treat depression themselves and never need professional help.

A Whippoorwill in the Woods


Night after night, it was very nearly enough,
they said, to drive you crazy: a whippoorwill
in the woods repeating itself like the stuck groove
of an LP with a defect, and no way possible
(5) of turning the thing off.


And night after night, they said, in the insomniac
small hours the whipsawing voice of obsession
would have come in closer, the way a sick
thing does when it's done for—or maybe the reason
(10) was nothing more melodramatic


than a night-flying congregation of moths, lured in
in their turn by house-glow, the strange heat
of it—imagine the nebular dangerousness, if one
were a moth, the dark pockmarked with beaks, the great
(15) dim shapes, the bright extinction—


if moths are indeed, after all, what a whippoorwill
favors. Who knows? Anyhow, from one point of view
insects are to be seen as an ailment, moths above all:
the filmed-over, innumerable nodes of spun-out tissue
(20) untidying the trees, the larval


spew of such hairy hordes, one wonders what use
they can be other than as a guarantee no bird
goes hungry. We're like that. The webbiness,
the gregariousness of the many are what we can't abide.
(25) We single out for notice


above all what's disjunct, the way birds are,
with their unhooked-up, cheekily anarchic
dartings and flashings,their uncalled-for color—
the indelible look of the rose-breasted grosbeak
(30) an aunt of mine, a noticer


of such things before the noticing had or needed
a name, drew my five-year-old attention up to, in
the green deeps of a maple. She never married,
believed her cat had learned to leave birds alone,
(35) and for years, node after node,


by lingering degrees she made way within for
what wasn't so much a thing as it was a system,
a webwork of error that throve until it killed her.
What is health? We must all die sometime.
(40) Whatever it is out there


in the woods, that begins to seem like
a species of madness, we survive as we can:
the hooked-up, the humdrum, the brief, tragic
wonder of being at all. The whippoorwill out in
(45) the woods, for me, brought back


as by a relay, from a place at such a distance
no recollection now in place could reach so far,
the memory of a memory she told me of once:
of how her father, my grandfather, by whatever
(50) now unfathomable happenstance,


carried her (she might have been five) into the breathing night.
"Listen!" she said he'd said. “Did you hear it?
That was a whippoorwill.” And she (and I) never forgot.

Lake Erie is one of the Great Lakes of the United States. It is also the shallowest and warmest of the five lakes. The drainage basin that

surrounds Lake Erle contains urban areas, as well as agricultural and industrial areas. Because of the amount of nutrients, primarily

phosphates, being transported into Lake Erie from surrounding areas, Lake Erle experienced cultural eutrophication. The surface of the lake developed large blooms of algae, which blocked out the sunlight to the depths of the lake and caused the lake to become anoxic.

In 1972, the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement was signed between the United States and Canada to reduce phosphate pollution. This was

the beginning of the recovery of Lake Erie. Phosphate-containing detergents have been eliminated from surrounding areas and native species have returned, but the lake is still subjected to pollution, including sewage, which results in beach closures, and invasive species, which drive out native species and change the biome.


1. Identify the source of pollution in Lake Erle. Was it a point source or non-point source of pollution? Explain your reasoning.


2. Describe two human activities that have impacted the health of Lake Erle.


3. Organophosphates are a common endocrine disruptor in many pesticides today and part of agricultural runoff. Describe the

effects an endocrine disruptor could have on human populations surrounding Lake Erle.


4. Explain the environmental effects the excessive use of detergents had on Lake Erle.


5. The Clean Water Act and subsequent legislation mandated that Industries stop dumping wastes directly into bodies of water by

building sewage treatment facilities to clean sewage water before it discharged into lakes and rivers. An average wastewater reclamation plant treats 55 million gallons a day. Calculate the amount of pollution-free water it could release into Lake Erle in a

year.

Mary veterinarians use the condition of a dog's fur as an indicator of the dog's overall health. A researcher is investigating the healthiness of the coats of fur for dogs from a certain population. The


healthiness of a dog's fur is evaluated using a quantitative description analysis (QDA), where a veterinarian uses a standard process to rate the fur from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating


healthier furs. From previous studies, the population distribution of the QDA scores for the fur of dogs is roughly uniform with mean y 5. 4 and standard deviation o = 2. 5
