A consumer, or heterotroph, gets its energy comes from the foods it consumes. An example of this is a human, who gets energy from the foods it eats every day.

On the other hand a producer, or autotroph, produces its energy by itself.

An example of this is a plant, who uses photosynthesis to combine different things, like sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, to make their own food, in the form of glucose, along with other byproducts.

A television advertisement claims that a certain brand of cough drop reduces coughing for 8 hours. Describe an investigation tha

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Study Design - Partially double-blinded study

The cohort study will be composed of 80 adults (aged ≥18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of constant coughing present as a result of a cold, which would be measured by semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor.

This study will be divided into an experimental group and a control group:

No medication (natural drops; e.g. water; saline solution) - Control group
Cough treatment - Experimental group

Data to be collected:

Participant cough will be recorded every hour (until 8 hours are reached) for two consecutive days (for repetitions) in both groups using semiautomated ambulatory cough monitor and analyzed statistically.

Observations:

Experimental group: If coughing is significantly (statistical analysis) reduced within the 8 hours (after repetitions) and a symptom improvement is observed, the hypothesis that cough drops are effective is valid.

Control group: To determine that cough drops treatment is effective, the no-treatment group should score worst and participant should not show significant improvement.

*In scientific experiments, repetitions are important to prevent bias and error.

Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Adult Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in the Modern Era

Roman55 [17]

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant is procedure in which a patient receives healthy blood-forming cells (stem cells) from a donor to replace their own stem cells that have been destroyed by treatment with radiation or high doses of chemotherapy.

An allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant uses a donor's bone marrow or blood. The donor is usually a relative of the patient, although unrelated donors or umbilical cord blood are sometimes used.

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation involves transferring the stem cells from a healthy person (the donor) to the patient's body after high-intensity chemotherapy or radiation. The donated stem cells can come from either a related or an unrelated donor.

How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond if the organism was placed in seawater?

saw5 [17]

Correct answer: B). With fewer contractions

The main function of a contractile vacuole is to maintain the sufficient amount of water in the protoplasm of the cell. For the freshwater amoeba contractile vacuole is needed to pump water and maintain a osmoregulation.

But when it is kept in sea water, more contraction is required to expel the water out of the cell in order to make the environment inside amoeba same as of sea water.
