Question

By studying Infographics 9.4, 9.5, and 9.6 (ALL ARE BELOW) and using the QUESTION ANSWERS below from my book, you can answer the ***chegg question** below.

1) In the production of taxol:

What plant is at risk from early demand? The pacific Yew (Taxus brevifolia)

What animal was consequently put at risk? the northern spotted owl

2) If a medically valuable drug is isolated from a rare plant, which of the following steps can be taken to ensure that the drug is made available to patients in need and that the plant is protected from overuse?

a. Try to cultivate the plant on a farm to ensure that there is sufficient supply independent of the plant in its native setting

b. Try to find a related (and less rare) plant that produces a related compound with similar pharmaceutical activity.

c. Use the structure of the compound to try to make a competely synthetic version of the chemical compound in a lab.

d. Learn more about what the drug is doing in the body and try to design synthetic molecules that might have the same activity

d. all of the above

***CHEGG QUESTION***: You are senator sitting on a committee to review cancer drug development. You have heard testimony from a patient with drug resistant ovarian cancer, an environmentalist, a college student, and a cancer researcher. Summarize their testimony and explain how each withness contributed to your position on the conflict between saving trees and saving lives.******

INFOGRAPHIC 9.4 CELL DIVISION IS TIGHTLY REGULATED Normal cells have mechanisms to ensure that cell division is carried out precisely and only when necessary. Regulated cell division ensures that adequate cell number and healthy tissue structure are maintained in the body Cell Cycle Checkpoints During the cell cycle, a system of checkpoints regulates a cell's progress. Checkpoints prevent a cell from progressing to the next stage until it accurately finishes the current stage Apoptosis When a normal cell sustains irreparable damage, it under- goes programmed cell death. This cellular suicide prevents cells from producing more damaged daughter cells. Is there a signal to divide? G1 Irreparable damage? Interphase Mitosis and Cytokinesis G2 Apoptotic cell death Have chromosomes replicated properly? Is there DNA damage? Chromosomes aligned for proper chromatid separation?

Explanation / Answer

Option:  Use the structure of the compound to try to make a competely synthetic version of the chemical compound in a lab. is the correct answer.

Because it is not possible to grow so many plants as the land scarcity is increasing day by day and crops are the priority of the farmer and the need of every person. So the growing plants for taxol production and harbnessing them will be a long procedure and it will not be cost effective so the drug will not come under every person reach.
