As the head of a neonate contaminated with meconium emerges at birth, the heart rate monitor indicates 120 beats per minute, and the physician notices that the infant has good muscle tone and a strong respiratory effort. What should the physician do at this time to provide airway care?

Rod photoreceptor cells are responsible for vision in dim light. The figure shows the pathway through which rod photoreceptor cell senses light. Predict whether the following mutations will result in a) night blindness (poor or no eye-sight in dim light)  b) prolonged response to a short light flash  Hint: The block of the activation pathway will result in night blindness.  The inhibition of the deactivation pathway will result in prolonged response to a short light flash. Rhodopsin is inactive guanylyl cyclase is inactive Rhodopsin kinase is inactive Regulator of G-protein signaling protein is inactive The cGMP phosphodiesterase is inactive

For each statement below, determine whether each condition will promote microtubule polymerization or depolymerization. The addition of a drug that caps the plus end of the microtubule and prevents subunit exchange at the plus end will promote microtubule . The addition of a drug that prevents GDP-tubulin from dissociating from the polymer will promote microtubule . The addition of a drug that inhibits GTP hydrolysis in subunits incorporated into the polymer will promote microtubule . The addition of a drug that promotes GTP hydrolysis in the microtubule will promote microtubule .

The figure below shows how normal signaling works with a Ras protein acting downstream of a receptor tyrosine kinase.  You obtained a cell line, in which the Ras protein is mutated and cannot be activated. Which of the following conditions will turn on this signaling pathway in this cell line? Indicate Yes or No for each condition.   addition of a drug that prevents protein X from interacting with Ras addition of a drug that decreases the activity of protein Y addition of a drug that decreases the activity of the receptor tyrosine kinase addition of the signal molecule that activates the receptor tyrosine kinase
