The important point is that the surface area<span> to the </span>volume ratio<span> gets smaller as the </span>cell<span> gets larger. Thus, if the </span>cell<span> grows beyond a certain </span>limit<span>, not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular </span>volume<span>.</span>

Which of these diseases results in meningitis caused by an encapsulated yeast?
amid [387]

Answer:

cryptococcosis

Explanation:

Cryptococcosis

It is an air-borne disease. It is caused after inhalation of soil which is contaminated by encapsulated yeast, Cryptococcus neoformans or C. gattii. The soil is infested with yeast which are contained in the waste of the birds. This disease affects the lungs since it is caused by inhaling the Cryptococcus. Cryptococcus can spread to skin and other organs, also involving the brain and meninges alongwith bones and joints.

Symptoms

Meningitis is common and can be discovered by symptoms like headache, vision problems and changes in behavior.

Lesions and ulcers on the skin which are similar to acne, are another sign of this disease.

Coccidioidomycosis

Another air-borne disease caused by inhaling dust containing spores. It is caused by Coccidioides fungus.

This disease, if ignored, can lead to severe damage to the respiratory organs, bones and/ or heart.

Visible symptoms include tiredness, fever, rashes and pain.

People with weaker immune system are easy victims of severity of this disease.

Candidiasis

This is caused by the yeast, Candida albicans. The skin and mucous membranes are the commonly affected areas. Candidiasis of the mouth results in thrush, which is usually found in infants. Vagina is another common area which is affected by this disease.

Histoplasmosis

This is the result of inhaling fungal spores which are carried by air. The lungs are the first organs to be affected. Initial symptoms include fever, cough, pain and bumps. More serious complications are indicated by blood in the cough, shortness of breath and heavy sweating.

Prevention

All the diseases discussed above are air borne diseases. The respiratory system is affected the most followed by the brain, since the microbe are easily spread through the body.

The most important prevention is the diet which helps boost the immune system. Another important prevention is cleanliness which is to be maintained until medical help becomes available.

zaharov [31]

Answer: Botulinum toxin

Toxins are non-living biological and chemical agents produced by living microorganisms from animals and plants that can cause harm to humans, plants and animals. An example of toxin is botulinum toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium, which is a neurotoxic protein that prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction and causes flaccid paralysis.

Moreover, toxin are more closely related to chemical warfare agents that can only affect those who are exposed to the agent and that they are not considered as transmissible disease.

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are the two main physiological process which drives the life on Earth. Photosynthesis process leads to the synthesis of Glucose whereas Cellular respiration breakdown the Glucose molecule to form ATP molecules.

In plants, the photosynthesis process occurs in green leaves whereas cellular respiration occurs in every cell of the plant inside the mitochondria.

In the given question, the graph shows:

1. The absorption of oxygen till 6 am which is required during cellular respiration.  

2. After 6 am, the level of oxygen production becomes more than oxygen absorption till 6 pm.

3. After 6 pm, no sunlight is available therefore photosynthesis does not occur. After this, the rate of cellular respiration increases that is oxygen is taken in.

Thus, Option-D is correct.
