Answer:
Society is largely responsible for how funding is spent. Members of society can choose whether or not to support government funding for certain research.
Just like any other medications that are currently known to man and are being used, monitoring a patient's response is a very essential tool is determining if she is responsive in anyway, may it be good or bad response, to the medication. In this way, diagnosis may later on be improved and tailored in the best way possible to address the necessary issues of healthcare.
Answer:
Both C and E are reasonable answers.
Explanation:
Homeostasis describes the body's ability to maintain a stable equilibirum. In other words, if the body experiences a stress, it will generate a response that works to counteract that stress and restore itself to how it was prior to the stress.
A. This describes a cause and effect (BP down --> venous return down). It does not describe an active physiological response to counteract the BP drop such as an increase in heart rate. Not homeostasis.
B. Again, a cause and effect is described. Blood vessel walls becoming thinner is not a response to counteract increased BP. Not homeostasis.
C. Here a response to a stress is described. Men are drinking more water. The body responds by getting rid of that water, restoring the body to its former state. This describes homeostasis.
D. This sounds like homeostasis, but it's actually the opposite of what happens. Dilation of peripheral blood vessels is a way for the body to get rid of heat. This is the opposite of what you would want if the body got colder - it would make the stress worse, which is the opposite of homeostasis. In actuality the response to cold temperature is constriction of blood vessels to preserve heat.
E. This deescribes homeostasis. The stress is increased glucose. The body's response to manage it is to release insulin, which helps remove the glucose from circulation.
PCB (Poly-Chlorinated Biphenyls) are the major contaminants of groundwater that must be removed before circulating water among people. PCBs can also enter the food chain by contaminating aquatic organisms. Working on PCBs and removing it from water is a challenging process. Various processes are involved in removal of these contaminants from the groundwater. Among these one is the use of microorganisms. Microbial process is a potent bioremediating method.
DEGRADATION OF PCBs through microorganisms is an effective process as PCBs are susceptible to degradation. PCBs are transformed into smaller parts by microorganisms that make them more soluble and easily degradable.
