Biology

matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and explanation:

Fungi and protists are eukaryotic. However, antibiotics selectively targets prokaryotic cells. Thus, the use of antibiotics for the treatment of fungal and protist infection is of no use at the first place. Secondly, if we use the other medicines that could kill the fungi/protists (e.g. fungicides), they could also kill the host's cells (animal's cells). This become further difficult if the infection is deeper in the skin. This is because, we would not be able to apply the medicine as direct application on skin but would give either intravenous or via food. This would increase the chance of imacting negatively the other organs/cells. The only option in such scenario is the surgery, which cannot be 100% effective because some spores may left even after the treatment.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Simple clothing, living in farming communities and using horse- driven vehicles best describes Amish culture.

The simple clothing concept of Amish culture shows their modesty. The women wear long and simple dresses that goes all the way down to their knees and they also cover their hair. They believe wearing simple dress is a way of keeping their hearts pure.

Amish people use buggy or horse driven vehicles and not cars because they believe that the innovation in technology has the potential to bring assimilation into the surrounding society.

They mostly live in farming communities which are located in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Central American and even in Canada.

Traveler's diarrhea is an intestinal infection that occurs as a result of eating or drinking contaminated food or water, food handlers who do not wash their hands after they use the bathroom can transmit the infection to people who consume the contaminated food

Due to diarrhea, kidney don't work properly and level of urea increases in blood

Due to the low carbohydrate intake, ketosis occurs in which stored fat is metabolized which results in build up of acids called ketones

If the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates then it means it is using the stored energy, gluconeogenesis fulfills glucose requirement of cell by synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate material

To supply with energy lipid metabolism occurs, fatty acids are oxidized and energy in the form of ATP is produced
