A period in 24-point font (.) is about 1mm in diameter. SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 80 nm. The prefix “milli” means 1000, which

tells you there are 1000 millimeters (mm)in a meter. The prefix “nano” means 109 (1 billion), which tells you there are 1 billion nanometers (nm) in a meter. Approximately how many SARS-CoV-2 viruses could fit in that period? (Hint: There are 106nm in 1mm).

Answer:

Approximately 12,500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Explanation:

According to this question, the period described is 1mm in diameter. Since 1millimetre(mm) is 1000metre(m), this means that the period is 0.001m in diameter.

Also, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has a diameter of 80 nm (1nm = 10^9m).

Since 10^6nanometres (nm) or 1,000,000nm makes 1millimeter (mm), 80nm of the virus will be:

= 80/1,000,000

= 0.000080mm or 8 × 10^-5mm

To calculate how many of the SARS-CoV-2 virus will fit into the period, we divide the diameter of the period (in mm) by the diameter of the virus (in mm).

That is; 1 ÷ 8 × 10^-5

= 1/8 × 10^5

= 0.125 × 100,000

= 12,500

Therefore, approximately 12500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses will fit in the period.

Question (1): Explain how the earliest philosophers arrived at the conclusion that "this primary entity
cestrela7 [59]

The leaders of the earliest philosophers were Socrates and Aristotle. This led the thinkers who arrived at the conclusion regarding the Primary Entity.

<h3>What was the proof for the conclusion of the Primary Entity?</h3>

Their logic for arriving at the above conclusion that "the primary entity (arche) always persists)" was that, since nothing can be completely annihilated or truly generated from the origin, but each returns to it's origin if they are destroyed, then it means that the primary entity must always persist.

In simple language, nothing is either destroyed or created.

How does gene expression lead to differentiation
ExtremeBDS [4]
Every cell of the organism has the same DNA sequence and same genes. However, not all genes are expressed in every single cell at the same time. Only those genes necessary for a specialised function of a specialised cell are expressed in the specialised cell. For example, skin cells have some different proteins than nerve cells. Genes responsible for those "skin proteins" are activated in skin cells and are turned off in nerve cells.

Kipish [7]
This patient both has left-sided heart failure and right-sided heart failure. In left-sided heart failure, this patient exhibits increasing shortness of breath on exertion as well as three pillow orthopnea which indicates pulmonary congestion. This is because of pooling of blood in the pulmonary circulation. Bipedal edema, in this patient is a grade 2 bipedal edema, reflect right-sided heart failure as there is pooling of blood in the systemic circulation, causing transudation in the most dependent areas of the body.
