The thymus gland, despite containing glandular tissue and producing several hormones, is much more closely associated with the immune system than with the endocrine system. The thymus serves a vital role in the training and development of T-lymphocytes or T cells, an extremely important type of white blood cell.

Autopsy conducted on an individual who had died of pneumonia revealed bluish-green pus filling the lung. The causative agent of
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The agent causing the pneumonia, where bluish-green pus was found, is most likely Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Explanation:

Pseudomona aeuriginosa is a gram-negative bacteria that is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections, including pneumonias in mechanically ventilated patients.

One of the characteristics of P. aeuriginosa is the formation of a bluish-green pus, since it has the capacity to form cyanide-based blue pigment upon contact with the organic tissues it infects. This is the reason why previously P. aeruginosa was called a pyocyanic bacillus.

<em>     The other options are not correct because the only bacterium that produces blue-green pus is P. aeruginosa.</em>

A gas delivers 874 J of heat and then has 159 J of work done upon it. The change in internal energy of the gas is
Nesterboy [21]

The change in internal energy of this gas sample is equal to: c. 715 J.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Quantity of heat = 874 J.
  • Work done = 159 J.

<h3>What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?</h3>

Mathematically, the the First Law of Thermodynamics is given by this formula:

\Delta H = Q-W

Where;

  • \Delta H is the change in internal energy.
  • Q is the quantity of heat.
  • W is the work done.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

\Delta H =874-159\\\\\Delta H = 715

Change in internal energy (ΔH) = 715 Joules.
