<span>The bite of an infected ticks. The disease, caused by bacteria of the borrelia type, is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected ticks of the Ixodes genus. Two tick species the black legged tick and the western blacklegged tick are known to transmit the bacterium. Most humans are infected from the bites of immature ticks (nymphs) because adult with Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium are larger and more likely to be discovered.</span>

What chemical structure makes up the cell membrane?
Trava [24]

The cell membrane is a biological membrane that surrounds (protects) a cell and separates the contents of the cell from its surrounding environment. The chemical structure that makes up the cell membrane include; phospholipids (lipid molecules that contains a phosphate group head and two fatty acid tails), glycolipids (lipids with carbohydrate), proteins and cholesterol. The phospholipids forms a double layered membrane around the cell.

Disease that is characterized as having lack of energy and protein is called?
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Sounds closest to:  Kwashiorkor

Explanation:

Kwashiorkor is a disease brought on by severe protein malnourishment. In Kwashiorkor, extended breastfeeding and late, insufficient weaning lead to low calorie intakes but significantly superior biological value. As a result, a kid with kwashiorkor will likely experience compromised organ function and development. Sudden outbreaks of diseases like the measles, gastroenteritis, or pneumonia exacerbate the issue by increasing needs while maintaining low intakes. The kid may exhibit oedema of the face and lower limbs, failure to grow, anorexia, diarrhea, lethargy, dermatosis, flaky-looking skin, scant, soft, and thin hair, angular stomatitis, cheilosis, and anemia as a result of this scenario.

This is a bit similar to Marasmus.

But there is a difference.

But ⇒ <em>how does kwashiorkor and marasmus differ?</em>

<em />

Kwashiorkor is predominantly a protein shortage, despite adequate calorie intake. When a youngster is weaned off of protein-rich breast milk, it frequently happens. The patient will show signs of oedema, an enlarged abdomen, and other conditions.

Marasmus is a total energy shortage that causes a body weight that is at least 60% below normal. The victim will only be malnourished.

Meristic traits are characterized by having phenotypes that are described by ________. Meristic traits are characterized by havi
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

whole numbers

Explanation:

Meristic traits are referred to as traits that are countable, hence the phenotypes are described by whole numbers instead of irrational, prime, complex or imaginary numbers. Meristics traits are usually associated with fishes, it is used to characterize different known species of fish or can also be employed in identifying unknown fish species. Meristic studies are mostly done on dead fishes than on living fishes

An example of a countable trait in fishes is the number of gill rakers. The identification of the number of gill rakers can be used in identifying the specie of fish.

1. What differences can you see when you compare the nucleus of a dividing cell with that of a non-dividing cell? 2. If your obs
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

It will be observed that in the cell that undergoes the division there is a constriction of the membrane and part of the cytosol, with its chromatic poles at the ends and even possibly double genetic load in the center.

Explanation:

In general, these cells are seen with eosin and hematoxycillin, with which, their internal media will be more basophilic, with more violet staining since they have a high protein load in their interior due to the great genetic load.

During cell division, the genetic load increases because the amount of material is doubled to give a daughter cell.
