1. Pulmonary Blastomycosis: is transmitted from inhalation of spores from dust and iscaused by Blastomyces dermatitidis. It targets the lungs and shows signs of fever,chills, joint pain, muscle pain and headache and cough.

2. Histoplasmosis:caused by Histoplasma Capsulatum that is transmitted by theinhalation of spores near bird or bat droppings, it targets the alveolar in the lungs andshows signs related to the flu, and chronic cough.

3. Aspergillosis: this is caused by the organism aspergillus spp. It is transmitted by theinhalation of spores from moldy vegetation and targets the lungs. The symptoms arecough with blood, wheezing, fatigue, shortness of breath, fever and chills, chest pain,face swelling and skin lesions.

What problems are experienced by fresh water and marine fish in there habitats and how they overcome it
stich3 [128]

ANSWER:

Problem faced include; habitat loss and degradation, disease outbreak, invasive species, pollution, over‐exploitation/overfishing, climate change etc.

EXPLANATION:

Problem:

Habitat loss and degradation, disease outbreak, invasive species, pollution, over‐exploitation/overfishing, and climate change are notable problems experienced by freshwater and marine fishes.

Solution:

Anthropogenic activities and stressors that rapidly threaten freshwater and marine fishes are curbed through legislation and other means to prevent extinction of fishes.

Through conservation programs that plans for individual species to more species of entire faunas of a particular location also boost population size and prevent hunting of threatened or endangered species in both realms.

Overtime, genetically modified fishes which can develop resistance to diseases are introduced to the realm.

Moreso, waste channels through which pollutants gets into the water bodies are well-treated for safety of fishes.

Your lab group is experimenting with the diffusion of molecules across a membrane. Dialysis tubing is used as a model cell membr
Margaret [11]

Answer: the membrane channel

Explanation:

In passive diffusion, the small water molecules can move across the phospholipid bilayer seen in blue. This layer acts as a semi-permeable or selectively permeable membrane; its hydrophilic heads are attracted to water (seen facing outwards) while its water-repellent hydrophobic tails face towards each other- allowing  molecules of water to diffuse across the membrane along the concentration gradient.

Thus the water will move from an area of high concentration  to an area of low concentration, until the system reaches a steady state called equilibrium- after this, there will be no net movement of water. Similarly via osmosis, the water passes through the membrane due to the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the phospholipid bilayer this means that the water moves from regions of high osmotic pressure/concentration to regions of low pressure/ concentration to a steady state.

The dialysis tubing mimics a semi permeable membrane; it only allows water and small molecules of iodine to cross into the bag containing starch. The tubing is impermeable to starch;  these large molecules require the aid of protein omplexes called membrane channels, in order to move across the membrane and against the concentration gradient.

Which is a product of the light reaction?
elena-s [515]

Answer: NADPH and ATP

Explanation:

The mechanism of photosynthesis can be divided into two phases, light reaction, and carbon fixation. During the light reaction, photosynthetic pigments absorb radiant energy and undergo a series of photochemical reactions and convert the trapped energy into chemical energy which is stored in the form of NADPH and ATP. These two compounds constitute the assimilatory power. Light reaction is light dependent and it takes place in the grana of the chloroplast.
