following is reference from book: pictures 3 & 4

part 4) in the case of an outbreak of a disease such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (sars), why is it so important to identify the index patient instead of just treating the patients who have already become infected? choose one or more answers.

a. to determine the exact location where the infection occurred

b. to isolate and treat other patients who might be carriers

c. to track the spread of the disease

following is reference from the book: picture 5

part 5) match the disease with its current designation as endemic, epidemic, or pandemic.

shigella

chickenpox

lyme disease

west nile

avian flu h5n1

ebola

hiv/aids

Part 1) Consider the colonies growing on this sorbitol MacConkey agar plate. Which component of the medium is being metabolized by the ones that appear colorless?

E) sorbitol

Explanation

Because gram negative bacteria cannot ferment sorbitol.

Part 2) Which of the following is an example of an anabolic reaction?

B)  TCA cycle

Part 3) How do Bdellovibrio cells escape host cells?

A) Bdellovibrio cells cause host cells to lyse.

Part 4) In the case of an outbreak of a disease such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), why is it so important to identify the index patient instead of just treating the patients who have already become infected? Choose one or more answers.

A) to determine the exact location where the infection occurred

Part 5) Match the disease with its current designation as endemic, epidemic, or pandemic.  

Shigella is pandemic disease

Chickenpox is endemic disease

lyme disease is an epidemic disease

west nile is an epidemic disease

Avian Flu H5N1 is pandemic disease

Ebola is an epidemic disease

HIV/AIDS is an epidemic disease

the answer is false?

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
