Answer:
D. They float on convection currents in the mantle.
Explanation:
Answer:
b. intracellular fluid moves to the outside of cells
Explanation:
The presence of an excess of sodium ions in the extracellular fluid would make it hypertonic with respect to the intracellular fluid. The concentration gradient would drive the intracellular fluid towards the outside of the cell to balance the concentration of the fluids on either side. The passive movement of fluids occurs across the cells and is driven by the concentration gradient only. The biological membranes are permeable for fluid movement such as the movement of water across it.
Below are the choices that can be found elsewhere:
A) dimensional B) categorical
<span>C) diathesis D) sociological
</span>
The answer is B categorical.
<span>One criticism of the DSM noted by your author is that it adheres to a categorical model, which means that a person is seen as either having a mental disorder, or not having a mental disorder. There is little or no allowance for “degrees” of a disorder.</span>
Answer:
No, telomerase is not an oncogene. It prevents the senescence that would occur due to shortened telomeres, but the cell proliferation might still be mitogen-dependent.
Explanation
telomerase is not responsible for causing deregulation while oncogenes cause deregulation .
Telomeres length shorten after the cell division which stops them to divide again and cell die.
Telomerase prevents this decline in some kinds of cells, including stem cells, by lengthening telomeres, and the hope was that activating the enzyme could prevent senescence.
Answer:
Opportunistic, endogenous pathogen
Explanation:
Opportunistic infection is an infection that is caused by the microbes that are otherwise the component of one's own normal microbiota. Under particular conditions, the microbes become pathogenic and cause infection. The pathogen-derived from one's own microbiota is called endogenous pathogen.
According to the given information, <em>Candida albicans </em>is a part of the microflora of mouth but becomes pathogenic under certain conditions. In healthy individuals, they do not produce disease as their overgrowth is suppressed by other microbiota and other host resistance mechanisms. The infection occurs only in those individuals with predisposing factors such as weakened immune system or after consumption of antibacterial medications that disturb the normal microbiota and immune competency. This makes it an opportunistic, endogenous pathogen.
