Answer: C) Not all scientific knowledge begins with an experiment

Explanation:

Fleming's lab was very messy, and one day when he is back from his vacations, he noticed that a colony of a fungus had grown as a contaminant on one of the Petri dishes sown with a bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. Fleming observed a bacterial lysis, which means the death of the bacteria.

The dishes got contaminated by Penicillium, which is a mold that produces a an antibacterial substance, called penicillin. This is an antibiotic that attacks a wide range of bacteria.

At first, his findings were underestimated and he was not able to isolate this penicillin. But in 1940, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain found out that this antibiotic could be used as a therapeutic agent to fight bacteria.

So, in this case the discovery of penicillin was accidental, without planning a specific experiment.

Answer:

Explanation:

The more similar the two species are, the more their niche overlaps and the more competition there is.

The most interesting results obtained in animal models of passive immunotherapies developed according to the “amyloid-beta cascade hypothesis” and the “Tau hypothesis” are monoclonal antibodies that directly or indirectly target Aβ plaques or neurofibrillary tangles. Unfortunately, these therapeutic antibodies cannot replicate their promising effects on humans at the clinical phase. Despite this, we still hope to learn from these failures and to explore new pathways. The great effects obtained in animals with passive immunotherapy suggest that this technology may be an important key to curative treatment. The remaining challenge is to find a way to achieve the same encouraging results for humans. Alzheimacy expects to join hands with global partners to focus on the development of therapeutic antibodies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and continue to fight against this disease.

Explanation:

Clouds reflect energy from the sun back into space. If there is more cloud cover than there is less energy reflected therefore more is obsorbed.
