Answer:
The correct answer is OPTION B (b. Yes—the initial infection might be acute but the virus can later become latent by becoming integrated into the host cell genome).
Explanation:
The hepatitis B virus has an unusual feature similar to retroviruses. This makes it deadly and difficult to treat when it is at an advanced stage. It basically attacks the liver and can cause both an acute and persistent infection.
In the acute stage, the cells are newly attacked and the body is fighting it off, the symptoms might start showing depending on how long it has invaded the body. These symptoms include dark urine, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), the liver can still fail at this stage causing death.
At the persistent stage, which is already chronic, the invaded cells have been weakened, the symptoms are slow to resolve therefore it is in a prolonged stage which can lead to liver cancer and eventual death.
Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group. Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time.
Henry observed the aquatic life in the pond, but also the
trees, vegetation, and animal’s species on land. The diversity observed by
henry is ecological diversity. Ecological diversity is the variation in the
ecosystems found in a region or the variation in ecosystems over the whole
planet. Ecological diversity includes the variation in both terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems.
Proximal convoluted tubules (PCT)
Proximal
convoluted tubules (PCT) are first part of the renal tubule that extends from
the Bowman’s capsule to the descending arm of the thin loop of the Henle. PCT
is made up of cells that contain many mitochondria that produce ATP for the
energy –intensive resorptive processes.
