Microbiology Discussions: Replicative Protein

Name Instructor Course Date Microbiology Discussions Discussion 3 Most of the cancer disorders can be treated successfully if they get detected at their early stage malignancies. However, the choice of markers that will help in detecting them early poses as a dilemma. The primary objective is to distinguish normal cells from cancer cells irrespective of the genes that they express. Evidence has indicated that replicative proteins are good markers in detecting most of the common carcinomas and they can provide important clinical information. Therefore, despite proteins contributing to the progression of the disorders, they fit into our life scheme in the detecting most of the cancer disorders at their early-malignant stages to help treatment. Discussion 4 Whenever the issue of renewable energy is raised, I think of the inner working of a leaf. A green leaf is an excellent solar-energy collector, it pulls sunlight, water and CO2 from the environment and converts them into energy. However, the leaf is not the only one which exploits sunlight, although it is the primary one in this chain. Humans also have a history of exploiting sunlight, which has been trapped by plants. Most scientists have tried to replicate this process to create new fuels quickly as they are consumed with the whole process being driven by solar energy. Previous researchers have had tremendous breakthroughs in this process and this may help us to achieve it by focusing on their weaknesses and addressing the challenges that they faced. We can also introduce new concepts which can help in achieving the replication of this process. Discussion 5&6 From very hot to very cold environments on our planet, it is even hard to believe that there are organisms that exist in this area. Cold environments are very common on Earth and they represent the largest extreme environments. The latter part of the 20th century explorations revealed that microbes inhabit these extreme environments. The ability of these organisms adapting in harshest environments provides us with clues to evolution, adaptation and survival. The adaptation of microbes in extreme situations can solve the issue of energy and food security in harsh environments. Discussion 7 For decades, scientists have studied the genetic modifications that might enhance microbes’ abilities to break down various hazardous wastes especially oil spillages. Various studies have demonstrated that microbes are the only ones that can break down hazardous wastes than the physical processes. However, to understand how microbes will help in cleaning unique hazardous wastes, a better understanding of the amount of these wastes is required. From the example of oil spillage, it is evident that it is only microbes that can remove it. Therefore, it is only through biodegradation that these unique hazardous wastes can be clea...
