Tanzania [10]3 years ago

The cause of the mass drop of population of Hispaniola before 1542 was due to the Smallpox outbreak. The first outbreak of smallpox, occurred during December 1518 or January 1519. The Smallpox Outbreak, claimed the lives of almost 90% of the Native Americans. By 1548, the population of Taino had declined and lessen to fewer than 500 people.

Many times people visit the doctor requesting the use of antibiotics to treat colds and viral infections. How is the doctor just
umka2103 [35]
I believe A is the most correct (i assume it's about antibiotics - they actually DO harm our immune system in some way).
B is partially correct because, the colds indeed should be treated by anti-viral medication (because the virus is a cause of typical cold) but using antibiotics during recovery is needed only when an additional bacterial infection occurs as a complication after the viral infection. and it doesn't happen very often.
C - what works? antibiotics doesn't work for viral infections (colds). anti-viral medication do.
D i won't discuss.
I am sorry for a so long answer. but your question is so linguistically twisted that i am not sure which of the following choices is actually correct because of a big amount of mistakes.

Gross production is the amount of energy left after cellular respiration true or false ?
Arturiano [62]
This is false. Gross production is the total production that occurs before cellular respiration, or any net loss of energy occurs. It is impossible to maintain this initial amount of energy, however.

What would a biochemist call the result of chaining many molecules together

The structure of a typical antibody molecule

Antibodies are the secreted form of the B-cell receptor. An antibody is identical to the B-cell receptor of the cell that secretes it except for a small portion of the C-terminus of the heavy-chain constant region. In the case of the B-cell receptor the C-terminus is a hydrophobic membrane-anchoring sequence, and in the case of antibody it is a hydrophilic sequence that allows secretion. Since they are soluble, and secreted in large quantities, antibodies are easily obtainable and easily studied. For this reason, most of what we know about the B-cell receptor comes from the study of antibodies.

Antibody molecules are roughly Y-shaped molecules consisting of three equal-sized portions, loosely connected by a flexible tether. Three schematic representations of antibody structure, which has been determined by X-ray crystallography, are shown in Fig. 3.1. The aim of this part of the chapter is to explain how this structure is formed and how it allows antibody molecules to carry out their dual tasks—binding on the one hand to a wide variety of antigens, and on the other hand to a limited number of effector molecules and cells. As we will see, each of these tasks is carried out by separable parts of the molecule. The two arms of the Y end in regions that vary between different antibody molecules, the V regions. These are involved in antigen binding, whereas the stem of the Y, or the C region, is far less variable and is the part that interacts with effector cells and molecules.

Give at least two gases in the atmosphere that you need to survive. Describe an example of why you need these gases to survive.
Alinara [238K]
You need carbon dioxide and oxygen because you need oxygen to breath and plants depend on carbon dioxide without it we would have plants and without plants we wouldn’t have food.
