Progressive degeneration of the retina that affects night and peripheral vision is known as retinitis pigmentosa.

<h3>What is retinitis pigmentosa?</h3>
  • A collection of uncommon eye conditions known as retinitis pigmentosa affect the retina.
  • Retinitis pigmentosa causes the retinal cells to gradually deteriorate over time, resulting in visual loss.
  • RP is a hereditary condition that affects people at birth.
  • The term "retinitis pigmentosa" (RP) refers to a group of illnesses that affect the retina's light-sensitive cells and impair vision.
  • There is currently no medication to stop the course of the disease, nor is there a cure.
  • Night blindness and tunnel vision are symptoms.
  • Retinitis pigmentosa has no specific treatment.
  • However, using UV sunglasses to protect the retina in your eyes may help postpone the onset of symptoms.
  • For people with very advanced disease and severe visual loss, a retinal prosthesis (artificial retina) has been developed.

PART 1


1. The answer is low frequency electromagnetic waves are able to go around obstacles due to their larger wavelengths. This characteristic of lower frequency waves is due to their ability to diffract around obstacles such as buildings and hills. Therefore, they transmit over long distances unlike high frequency electromagnetic waves.

2. One disadvantage is interference. Electromagnetic waves of the same frequency transmitted at the same time will interfere with one other and therefore the signal will be lost or scrambled. Other electromagnetic waves such as microwaves are affected (interfered with) by weather elements.

3. Analogue signals are continuous signals with wave-like properties while digital signals are discrete signals or pulse (ons (1s) and offs (0s) that represent bits). Analogue signal is represented by a sine-wave while digital signal is represented by discrete squares waves.

4. Digital signals are less immune to eavesdropping unlike analogue signals. Analogue signal is also more prone to distortion unlike digital signal. Digital signals transmit more data than analogue signals. Digital signal draw less energy to transmit compared to analogue signal.

5. Broadcasting of TV is nowadays using digital signals due to the high number of available channels. Computers and the interne utilize digital signaling to transmit data. Controls systems such as radar system also use aspects of analogue waves. Sensors also utilize analogue waves especially transducers such as seismology equipment.


PART 2


1. One way is by sending radio waves to probes sent out in space to give them commands during exploration. Radio telescopes also pick up naturally-occurring radio waves from space and analyze the data to make conclusions about space and the astronomical objects.

2. Radio waves are used in communication by transmitting data over long distances. One example is its use TV transmission. Another is through military defense of airspace. The radio waves are used to detect enemy intrusion into restricted airspaces using radar.

3. It is common that signal from the environment will be in analogue signal format. The conversion to digital signals allows for the digital equipment in the telescope to interpret and analyze the data. Telescopes prefer digital equipment because they consume less power, handle more data, and are less prone to intrusion, and distortion, hence more secure to analogue equipment.

Which of the following is not actual whole cell?
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

C. Thrombocytes

Explanation:

Blood is a tissue composed of many cells, which include; red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cell (leukocytes), platelets (thrombocytes) etc. Of these three types of cells, thrombocytes also known as Platelets are small fragments of a cell with a disk-shape whose primary function is in blood clotting.

In contrast to erythrocytes, and leukocytes (monocytes, lymphocytes) as mentioned in the question, thrombocytes or platelets are not actual whole cells but rather small portion of a cell.
