Researchers in the Netherlands studied the effects of parental caregiving in European kestrels over 5 years. The researchers transferred chicks among nests to produce reduced broods (three or four chicks), normal broods (five or six),  and  enlarged  broods  (seven  or  eight).  They then measured the percentage of male and female parent birds that survived the following winter. (Both males and females provide care for chicks.) Brood Size Manipulations in the Kestrel: Effects on Offspring and Parent Survival

Protein A has four identical subunits, each of which binds one molecule of ligand Y. The binding of one molecule of Y to one of the subunits induces a conformational change in neighboring subunits that enhances the binding of additional units of Y. This is an example of________.

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is the alcohol found in beverages. It is oxidized in the body to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. Methanol (CH3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is converted to formaldehyde by the same enzyme. Acetaldehyde is toxic, but formaldehyde is far more toxic to humans, which is why the ingestion of relatively small amounts of methanol can cause blindness or death. One treatment for mild methanol poisoning is the administration of ethanol. Why might a doctor choose this treatment?
