Dacryoadenitis is an inflammation of the lacrimal gland that can be a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.

Lacrimal gland is the gland responsible for lubricating eye to moisten and lubricate it. This gland is present between eyes and eye brows. The secretion of lacrimal gland is commonly known as tears.

The inflammation in lacrimal gland can be acute or chronic. The infection by bacteria or virus is the cause of acute inflammation. Chronic inflammation results for disorders like thyroid or pseudotumour. Common example of virus infecting lacrimal gland is Epstein-Barr virus and bacteria is <em>Staphylococcus</em>.

The symptoms of dacryoadenitis include redness in eyes, pain in movements, double vision, droopy upper eyelid etc. Treatment includes intake of antibiotics and abscess drainage.

How do the properties of water contribute to transpiration
muminat

Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion of water molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion has to do with the ability of water to adhere together .

The cohesive properties of water which is occasioned by hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules allow the column of water to move up through the plant irrespective of the force of gravity as water molecules are evaporating at the leaf surface.

The adhesive properties of water, which means, the attraction between the water molecule and the xylem wall also ensure continuity in the movement of the water column in the xylem.

Hence the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules are important for transpiration to occur.

Pepsin is an enzyme found in the human stomach that breaks down protein. Pepsin will not break down starch.
Andre45 [30]

The statement which best explains why Pepsin will not break down starch is that enzymes only work for specific substrates.

<h3>What is an Enzyme?</h3>

This is referred to as a biological catalyst which helps to speed the rate of chemical reaction in the body by lowering the activation energy needed to start it up. it is also proteinous and can be denatured by heat and other substance such as chemicals.

They are also substrate specific which means they can't act on any type of substance. For example enzyme such as amylase acts on only starch while pepsin acts on only protein.
