Answer 1

Answer:

Alzheimer's disease.

Explanation:

It is A progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.

Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions.

Symptoms :

Cognitive: mental decline, difficulty thinking and understanding, confusion in the evening hours, delusion, disorientation, forgetfulness, making things up, mental confusion, difficulty concentrating, inability to create new memories, inability to do simple maths, or inability to recognise common things

Behavioural: aggression, agitation, difficulty with self care, irritability, meaningless repetition of own words, personality changes, restlessness, lack of restraint, or wandering and getting lost

Mood: anger, apathy, general discontent, loneliness, or mood swings

Psychological: depression, hallucination, or paranoia

Also common: appetite loss, difficulty with skilled movement, or paraphasia

there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease or a way to stop or slow its progression, there are drug and non-drug options that may help treat symptoms.

Cause:

Alzheimer's disease is thought to be caused by the abnormal build-up of proteins in and around brain cells.

I chosed it because it is very common

Over 1.5 million people come up with this disease

Answers

Answer: hello your question is in complete  below is the complete question

A fiber reinforced composite contains e-glass fibers in an epoxy matrix. E for the glass is 72 GPA, E for the epoxy is 2.4 GPa. Find the elastic modulus of a composite that contains 5% fibers in the longitudinal direction, Ecl = ViEi + EmVm? (note Vi + Vm= 1.) O 5.88 GPa O 5.66 GPa O 2.52 GPa O 6.74 GPa

answer : 5.88 GPa

Explanation:

Fiber reinforced composite containing e-glass fibers

E for the glass ( Ei ) = 72 GPa

E for the epoxy ( Em ) = 2.4 GPa

Determine the Elastic modulus of a composite containing 5% fibers

percentage of glass = 5% = Vi = 0.05

∴ percentage of epoxy = 95% ; Vm = 0.95

using the relation included in the question

Ecl = Ei Vi + Em Vm

    = ( 72 * 0.05 ) + ( 2.4 * 0.95 )

    =  3.6 + 2.28  = 5.88 GPa

Understanding Dose vs Exposure
John works applying pesticide X to agricultural fields. He spent the morning cleaning out a tank that had contained concentrated pesticide X. The tank was large and he was standing in water all morning (4 hours) power washing the tank. Human skin is a wonderful barrier to entry of compounds as long as it is dry and intact, but wet wrinkly skin can absorb toxins. About 5% of pesticide X absorbs into wet skin and John was in contact with water that had a total of 32 g of the pesticide in it.
After the morning is over, John has lunch but does not wash his hands; he has 2 g of the pesticide on his hands. Pesticide X has about 90% absorption from an oral dose.
Finally, John works in the field in the afternoon a crop plane flies over dusting the crops with pesticide X, the air he breathes in has a total of 5 grams of the compound in it. Pesticide X is known to have absorption of about 50% through inhalation.
What is John’s exposure to Pesticide X and what is his dose?
Route of Exposure Exposure (grams) Dose (grams)
Dermal
Oral
Inhalation
Total
Looking at the total exposure and dose, what percentage of his exposure was a dose?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 15.13%

Explanation:

According to the question, the exposure of the pesticide X to the skin of John is by different routes and amount of the exposure is given and the percentage value is calculated as well:

Route of exposure --- exposure in gram---Dose in gram

Dermal ------------------------32-----------------------32*5/100= 1.6

Oral------------------------------2-----------------------2*90/100= 1.8

Inhalation----------------------5-----------------------5*50/100= 2.5

Total --- -----------------------39 -----------------------5.9

On the basis of this, the exposure is mainly by inhalation, the total exposure is about 39 grams about 5.9 percent. However,

The percentage of dose exposure = (5.9/39)*100

= 15.13%

Chloroplasts take in more nitrogen, which increases the rate of photosynthesis illustrates feedback mechanisms in plants.

feedback mechanism is a form of system regulation that occur in living organs which help to return or restore the body to it's original normal internal condition for sustainability of living. It is also called homeostasis.

Chloroplasts take in more nitrogen, which increases the rate of photosynthesis illustrates feedback mechanisms in plants because nitrogen helps to increase the concentration of chlorophyll which is the green pigment house in chloroplast that aid the increase of photosynthesis rate in plants.

Therefore,Chloroplasts take in more nitrogen, which increases the rate of photosynthesis illustrates feedback mechanisms in plants.

En primer lugar hay que decir que en contra de lo que puedan pensar muchas personas, el aumento de las temperaturas es una realidad. De hecho, no hay más que ver algunos datos comparativos para darse cuenta, por ejemplo, de que la temperatura de los polos ha aumentado considerablemente en el último siglo.

En primer lugar y por encima de todo tenemos que tener muy claro que el hábitat está cambiando de una manera abismal por lo que la vida del ser humano en La Tierra cada vez es más complicada. Si a esto le unimos el hecho de que nosotros no somos el único ser vivo cuya vida se complica, podemos concluir que muchas especies no serán capaces de adaptarse a estos cambios por lo que morirán. Un cambio que se puede llevar consigo gran parte de las cosechas que existen a día de hoy.

 

Una serie de consecuencias que lejos de ser catastróficas son más que plausibles. Es cierto que del mismo modo que esta situación se puede dar, no es menos cierto que todavía hay opciones de revertir la situación. La pregunta, sin embargo, es saber si el ser humano está dispuesto a ello.

Based on the information given above, which of the following models best represents the relationship between zooplankton , minnows, and largemouth bass in a freshwater ecosystem?
Chose the correct image to answer the question above. NEED THIS FAST

Answers

Answer:

Option C: Minnows have a direct negative effect (⇒(-)) on the population size of zooplankton. Basses have a negative effect (⇒(-)) on the population size of minnows. Basses have an indirect positive  (---> (+)) effect on zooplankton.

Explanation:

In the trophic web occurs a process of energy transference through different organisms that places at different levels. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is an autotroph organism or producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

If any of the links change their population size (increasing it or decreasing it), it affects the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

In the exposed example, zooplankton, minnows, and basses are continuously interacting.

Minnow →(-) Zooplankton

Minnows feed on zooplankton. So they affect direct and negatively the invertebrate population. The more minnows there are, the more zooplankton they eat. So, as long as the minnows population keeps growing, the zooplankton population will be more affected because they will not have enough time to reproduce and recover from predation.

Bass →(-) Minnows

Bass feed on minnows, so they also affect direct and negatively the fish population. And the more the bass population grows in size, the more affected the minnows will be because many more basses will be eating them.

Bass ---->(+) Zooplankton

On the other hand, by negatively affecting the minnows population, basses will be indirectly and positively influencing the zooplankton population. This fact is because the more minnows basses eat, the fewer fishes there will be to prey on zooplankton. So the invertebrate will have enough time to recover its population size. The predation pressure acting on zooplankton will decrease thanks to the action of basses preying on minnows.

Here there is a natural equilibrium between the three species. It is a representation of typical cycle predator-prey.

Minnows prey on zooplankton. Minnows population grows, and the zooplankton population decreases.As the minnow population grows, there is more available food for basses, who eat more minnows. As the bass population increases, the minnows population decreases in size. And as there are fewer minnows, the zooplankton population will increase. If minnows decrease in number, basses will decrease in number too. Minnows will not be severely affected by basses, so their population increases again. As zooplankton also increased, there will be more available food for minnows that will keep reproducing. And the more minnows there are, the more available food for basses there will be. And basses population will increase again. So you can see that zooplankton is indirectly and positively affecting the basses population too (not shown in images).

Answers

Answer:

No precipitation.

Explanation:

if there were no condensation stage in the water cycle​ then there will be no precipitation and as a result the water cycle will stop. Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous state or water vapor into liquid water. This condensation process occurs in the upper atmosphere where the temperature is lower as compared to the earth surface so the water vapors turn into liquid state and will fall from the sky in the form of rainfall and snowfall so we can say that no condensation will leads to no precipitation.
