What are the two main ways bacteria cause illness?
A. By releasing toxins that poison your cells
B. By using your cells to make copies of themselves
C. By changing the genetic material inside your cells
D. By breaking down your cells for nutrients
Answer:
A. By releasing toxins that poison your cells
B. By using your cells to make copies of themselves
Explanation:
Within the body, bacteria can divide (multiply) and kill host cells by disrupting their normal functioning. Moreover, bacteria secrete toxins that are able to destroy host cells' metabolic machinery. For instance, many bacteria synthesize exoenzymes and interferons that disrupt and destroy host cells. Bacterial toxins can be synthesized internally in order to develop sensitivity through antigenic properties.
Summer is coming and we are ready to get out and get in the sun. However, sun light has some ultraviolet light. When a UV photon is absorbed by a molecule of DNA, there are different ways the energy can be absorbed. One of the ways is that the energy of the photon can be converted into vibrational energy of the molecular bonds. Excessive vibration can damage the molecule by causing the bonds to break. UV light of less than 290 nm causes significant damage to DNA and UV light of longer wavelength causes minimal damage. What is the threshold photon energy, in eV, for DNA damage
Answer:
The threshold photon energy for DNA damage = 4.28 eV
Explanation:
According to the Planck - Einstein's equation, the energy of a photon, E is proportional to its frequency; E = hf where f is frequency and h is Planck's constant.
Also, frequency, f = velocity /wavelength
f = c/λ where c is the velocity of light
E = hc/λ
h = 6.63 × 10^-³⁴ Js;
c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s;
Threshold wavelength, λ = 290 nm = 2.9 × 10^-7 m
E = (6.63 × 10^-³⁴ × 3.0 × 10⁸) / 2.9 × 10^-⁷
E = 6.85 × 10^-¹⁹ J
1 ev = 1.602 × 10^-¹⁹ J
6.85 × 10^-¹⁹ J = 6.85 × 10^-¹⁹ J × 1 eV / 1.602 × 10^-¹⁹ J = 4.28 eV
Therefore, the threshold photon energy for DNA damage = 4.28 eV
15. Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 30 percent solute solution. Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell).
Answer:
Smaller
Explanation:
The human blood cell has a smaller percentage of solute concentration than the solution it was placed into. This means that the cell is hypotonic in comparison to the solution, and the solution is hypertonic compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it undergoes crenation, meaning it shrivels up. Water moves from the lower solute concentration to the higher solute concentration. The water inside the cell moves outside to the hypertonic solution. This causes the cell to become smaller.
Moving substances from a lower concentration to a higher concentration requires _____. passive diffusion facilitated diffusion active transport pinocytosis
Answer:
Active Transport <3

If several species of carnivores are removed from an ecosystem, the most likely effect on the ecosystem will be an increase in stability among populations.
i think so since carnivours could lead to effects on ecosystem such as the number or behaviour of their herbivore prey

explain how incomplete dominance differs from co-dominance
Answer:
Incomplete dominance is when the phenotypes of the two parents blend together to create a new phenotype for their offspring.
An example is a white flower and a red flower producing pink flowers. Codominance is when the two parent phenotypes are expressed together in the offspring
Explanation:

Why is stem cell research important within the field of medicine?
What structures act as filters to trap pathogens and damaged cells as lymph flows through them?
Answer:
Spleen
Explanation:
The is because the spleen is an organ found in upper section of the abdomen spleen acts as a filterand it help to remove old and damaged cells . It also play a major role in controlling the amount of blood and blood cells that move round the body. The spleen also helps remove pathogens. It contains white blood cells called lymphocytes and macrophages.

Answer:
the answer is d, student 2 exercises more often then student 1. he also has better sleep.
Explanation:
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
The disease multiple sclerosis makes it more difficult for signals from the brain and spinal cord to travel along nerve fibers. How will multiple sclerosis
affect other body tissues?
O Connective tissue will increase its fat storage.
O Muscle tissue will contract uncontrollably.
Epithelial tissue will lose the ability to protect against infection.
Tendons and ligaments will become brittle and break.
Answer:
O Muscle tissue will contract uncontrollably.
Explanation:
Multiple sclerosis, also known as encephalomyelitis disseminata, is a disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. Some of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis include vision problems, arm or leg movement and balance. This disease occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing inflammation and subsequent damage of the sheath and the nerve fibers it surrounds. Multiple sclerosis may cause muscle twitches when nerve fibers are damaged, thereby disrupting the signaling between nerves and muscles.

Explanation:
g Type I diabetes is caused by destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas, the cells that produce insulin. In most cases, the beta cells are destroyed by an immune response. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in triggering the immune response. A. The immune system usually does NOT destroy the beta cells. If the cells are destroyed, it is a failure of (memory) (specificity)(tolerance) (any one of these) (none of these).
Answer:
it is a failure of tolerance (self-tolerance) and specificity (recognition)
Explanation:
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease caused by the selective destruction of β cells that are involved in the production of insulin in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes can be classified into two types: Type 1A diabetes (the immune form of the disease) and Type 1B diabetes (the non-immune form of the disease). Type 1A diabetes is considered an autoimmune disorder where immune responses against pathogens suffer a failure of tolerance to antigens in the β-cells of the pancreatic islets. Thus, Type 1A diabetes is characterized by the process of recognition of β-cell antigens (autoantigens) by the immune system. This disease is often caused by genetic factors associated with mutations in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II region located on chromosome 6.
