Suggest an explanation for why using a condom helps to limit the transmission of HIV,

Biology

Cloud [144]3 years ago

Answer and Explanation:

HIV is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by AIDS, a virus. Malaria is a protozoan disease that is cause by <em>plasmodium spp</em>. Both the virus and sporozoites of plasmodium live inside humans. However, in malaria, the sporozoites are inactive form of the parasite and they live in the human liver. The human being acts as an intermediate host for the life cycle to be complete.

In HIV, the virus incorporates its DNA into the host(human) genome and uses the resources to produce proteins that are found in the blood. Using a condom helps limit the transmission of HIV because the virus lives in the blood cells but does not affect the transmission of malaria because the sporozoites live in the liver and other organs. HIV can be transmitted sexually, transfusion with contaminated blood, sharing of infected needles and syringes while malaria is only transmitted through a mosquito bite.

How do the properties of water contribute to transpiration
muminat

Answer:

Cohesion and adhesion of water molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion has to do with the ability of water to adhere together .

The cohesive properties of water which is occasioned by hydrogen bonding between adjacent water molecules allow the column of water to move up through the plant irrespective of the force of gravity as water molecules are evaporating at the leaf surface.

The adhesive properties of water, which means, the attraction between the water molecule and the xylem wall also ensure continuity in the movement of the water column in the xylem.

Hence the cohesive and adhesive properties of water molecules are important for transpiration to occur.

What is turgor pressure, what causes it, and what does it do for a plant?
ANEK [815]

Turner pressure is simply the force within the plant cell that pushes the cell membrane or plasma membrane against the cell wall.

It is caused by the Osmotic flow of water through the semi permeable membrane.

It helps the plant cells to remain turgid and stand tall so as to prevent it from wilting
