Bacteria and food can cause tooth decay. A clear, sticky substance called plaque is always forming on your teeth and gums. Plaque contains bacteria that feed on the sugars in the food you eat. ... Eating foods that are high in sugar and other carbohydrates, which feed the bacteria in your mouth.

After having meals, a sticky layer will be formed on the tooth. It's called a plaque. When you eat something, the bacteria in the plaque will undergo anaerobic respiration and will turn the sugar in your food into acid. The other layer of tooth, enamel, may be corroded by the acid formed. When the enamel is corroded, the dentine and pulp cavity will be exposed, and bacteria may get into it and attack them. That's how tooth decay is formed.

The extra cellular matrix on most connective tissues is made up of predominantly fibers and what?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- proteoglycans and the glycoproteins

Explanation:

The connective tissue forms a very large proportion of the total mass of a body. The connective tissue plays a distinct role in the body like the movement of the cell, mechanical support, wound healing but the main role is to connect different tissues of the body.

The property of the connective tissue is determined by the amount and type of the extracellular matrix present which contains three main components which are the fibres like collagen, glycoproteins and the proteoglycans.

Thus, proteoglycans and glycoproteins are the correct options.

Explain how the use of cell technology makes disease eradication possible.
Kaylis [27]

The post-eradication era is a period of history for which there has been no precedent whatsoever in terms of a zero base of immunity. Cessation of immunization will eventually create a population susceptible to widespread infection in the event of accidental or intentional reintroduction or re-emergence of the eradicated virus. Thus, even after immunization ceases, vaccine production must continue.

However, many currently available vaccines may not be appropriate for continued post-eradication vaccine production or reinstatement. Vaccines must be continually improved and ongoing vaccination research maintained. Other potentially useful antiviral strategies—antivirals, prophylaxis, and probiotics—must also be considered as means to strengthen the immune system and serve as adjuvant or prophylactic therapies.

In the case of polio, for example, it remains to be determined which vaccine (oral polio vaccine [OPV] or inactivated polio vaccine [IPV]), or variant thereof, should be produced in the post-eradication, post-vaccination era. A detailed plan for vaccine production will require more information on OPV-derived viral persistence and transmission, as well as continuing dialogue between public health and research communities in order to ensure that appropriate vaccination research continues.
