The probability that a person with a positive screening test actually has the disease screened for is called: Positive predictive value.

A screening test is a medical test or treatment carried out on members (subjects) of a designated asymptomatic population or population subgroup to determine the likelihood that their members will have a specific condition. It is also referred to as medical surveillance.

When a person does not exhibit any symptoms of a condition, a screening test is performed to look for probable health issues or diseases. The objective is early identification, lifestyle modifications, or surveillance to lower the risk of disease or to identify it early enough to receive the best possible care. Screening tests are used to identify a subset of the population who should undergo additional testing to ascertain the existence or absence of disease, even if they are not thought of as diagnostic.

cells can be observed in plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria, and archaea. which part of the cell theory?
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

The cell theory was given by Schwann and Schleiden. The fact that cells can be observed in plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria and archea comes from one of the postulates of cell theory- All living organisms are composed of  one or more cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory initially contained three postulates:

  1. The cell is the basic unit of organization in all organisms.
  2. All living organisms contain one or more than one cell.
  3. All cells arise from cells which are already in existence.

The discovery of cell was made by Robert Hooke. Later after further observations, more points were added to the cell theory like

  • The genetic component of the cell is DNA and is transferred within cells.
  • The <em>chemical composition</em> of all the cells is similar.
  • A flow of <em>energy</em> occurs within the cells.
