Answer:

<u>A focal infection</u> is a small region of infection, from where the pathogen can move to other areas of the body to cause a secondary infection.      

Explanation:

The focal infection theory is a theory that states that many chronic diseases (such as cancer, arthritis, mental illness) are caused by a focal infection. A focal infection is a small region of infection or a localized infected region, which can lead to a secondary infection at a site, which is susceptible to infections. Examples of such focal regions are nasal sinuses, kidney, gall bladder, liver, etc.

<u>Therefore,</u><u> a focal infection </u><u>can be defined as a small region of infection, from where the pathogen can move to other areas of the body to cause a secondary infection</u>.

What are two diffrences between replication and transcription?
Ghella [55]
Replication - The action of copying or reproducing something.
DNA replication of producing two identical replicas of DNA from one original DNA molecule.

Transcription - First step to gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase. Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language.

1.) Transcription involved both DNA and RNA, whilst replication only involves DNA.
2.) Replication uses two identical replicas of DNA, whilst transcription is copied.

When you eat a meal, food is digested and monomers like glucose are transported throughout your body. food is transformed and us
Alchen [17]
<span>Food molecules like lipids, proteins and polysaccharides are broken down enzymatically via digestion process, which occurs in our intestine cells (digestive system). Those large polymeric molecules are broken down into their monomer subunits—proteins into amino acids, polysaccharides into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Formed small organic molecules are now ready for the oxidation (a process that produces ATP and consumes O2) which occurs partly in the cytosol and in the mitochondrion. Oxidation processes include glycolysis and citric acid cycle which are differently required in different tissues. Nervous system (nerve cells) rely almost entirely on a constant supply of <span>glucose<span> from the bloodstream. In contrast, liver cells supply glucose to actively contracting muscle system which needs a lot of ATP energy.</span></span></span>
