Where is the intestinal flora exactly?
As par of human microbiota, many bacteria live in our intestines. Do the live only in the small intestine, or only in the large intestine, or both equally? Online sources are super-contradicting!

Bleeding and urine output
Following a severe bleeding the production of urine decreases. This is most likely because of...

Inclusion body vs. storage granule vs. residual body vs. vacuole
Someone please explain me the difference between the aforementioned organelles, e.g. which ones are membrane enclosed, exclusive to prokaryotes or eukaryotes. I came across the expression "unit membrane" in regards to this problem, what does that mean?

Why cardiac muscle cells sometimes have more than one nucleus?
What mechanism causes heart muscle cells occasionally to have multiple nuclei? Is that the same blast-fusion mechanism that forms syncytium of skeletal muscle cells? And the same question goes for all multinucleated cells in the human...

Re: Invasion of a host cell by a DNA virus
Related question:
I've read the word somewhere "pulverisation" to describe degradation of host DNA upon exposure of viral nucleic acid, but when and how does that happen? Is that an accepted and a well established technical term?

Re: Compare and Contrast Active and Passive Transport?
"active transport does not have to go against conc. gradient, theoretically." My question is related to that: In action potential, right after depolarization, does Na+/K+ pump keep moving sodium out and potassium in? Than it would move those ions down their gradient (!?), still at the expense of ATP...

Re: light dependent reaction on photosynthesis
Cyclic photophosphorylation vs. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation Which organisms use which mechanism? I've been looking for the answer but couldn't find a reliable one, most answers are very vague. If the organism has both PSI and PSII, it can readily switch between cyclic and non-cyclic, depending o...

Re: What is the roan cattle and the Jappanese four o'clock ???
I thought roan meant two two hair colors are expressed simultaneously (e.g. black and white hair), instead of grey hair. But then I wouldn't understand, each heterozygous cell would grow multiple hairs? Just don't get it...

Fermentation in the human body
I know that lactic acid fermentation is possible in muscle cells and mature red blood cells. My questions would be 1) all muscle cell types are able to perform lactic acid fermentation? 2) is there any other type of fermentation that a human cell (!) is able to perform in the body?

Will we make more ATPs when inhaling pure oxygen?
Will that boost ATP production in mitochondria? Or other reactions are rate limiting?

Where are enzymes in the smooth endoplasmic retuculum synthesized?
Are they produced by RER-bound ribosomes or by free ribosomes and later they get imported into the SER. Also, how does the ER separate enzymes that work in the RER (e.g. glycosylases) from enzymes that work in the SER (e.g. detoxifying enzymes)? I know sometimes the ER is "mixed" so could be conside...
