Question 1

Viruses are not included in the taxonomic scheme proposed by Carl Woese because they lack
◦ genetic material.
◦ lipid membranes.
◦ ribosomal RNA.
◦ proteins.
◦ cytoplasm.

Question 2

Why have some microbiologists proposed using ribosomal RNA as the basis for defining bacterial species?
◦ bacteria vary too little in their physical and biochemical traits.
◦ Ribosomal RNAs are highly conserved genetic sequences present in all prokaryotes.
◦ the "interbreeding population" criterion does not apply to bacteria.
◦ ribosomal RNA is the basis for domain assignment.
◦ bacteria are not interbreeding populations, and ribosomal RNAs are highly conserved genes present in all prokaryotes.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.
