The correct answer is known as "Meningitis"

Meningitis is is an infection of the membranes (meninges) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. The swelling from the illness usually triggers signs which includes headache, fever and a stiff neck. Most cases of meningitis within the U.S. are because of a viral infection, however bacterial and fungal infections are other causes. some cases of meningitis enhance with out remedy in some weeks. Others may be fatal and require immediate antibiotic remedy

Animal cells have plasma membrane while plant cells have cell wall and cell membrane. A plant cell has 1 large vacuole while an animal cell has more than 1 vacuole which is smaller compared to the vacuoles of a plant cell. The vacuole of a plant cell is hypertonic because it takes up to 90% of the cells volume. A plant cell has chlorophyll or chloroplasts (which gives colors to plants), animal cells does not have chloroplasts. Cell division is also called mitosis (this term is used for both animal and plant cells, no difference on that). For plant cells, centrifugal division occurs, its starts in the middle going outwards creating the cell plate. For animal cells, division is centripetal that it comes from the outside going toward the center and that is called the cleavage furrow.

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Continents are the seven main divisions of land on Earth. A continental shelf extends from the coastline of a continent to a drop-off point called the shelf break. From the break, the shelf descends toward the deep ocean floor in what is called the continental slope.

In patients infected with nonresistant strains of the tuberculosis bacterium, antibiotics can relieve symptoms in a few weeks. H
Natali [406]

Answer:

Infectious dose refers to the minimum number or amount of pathogens required in order to produce a disease or its symptoms. In the given case, the bacterium is non-resistant and is treated with antibiotics.

The antibiotics help in neutralizing the infectious agents; however, full course should be done to eliminate the infectious agent completely out of the body.

If the course is left in between then, there are very high chances that some bacteria may survive. They might not produce disease or symptoms as they would be less than infectious dose.

However, with time, the survived bacteria gain more and more mutations during replication which can develop antibiotic resistance capability in them.

In addition, it is also possible that the survived bacteria can get R-plasmid (which has antibiotic resistant gene) from body's normal flora or from any other infectious agent present in the body by the process of transformation or conjugation.

The R-plasmid enables them to survive even in the presence of antibiotics due to which the treatment of the disease might become difficult.

Your teacher asks you to model the phases of mitosis using a cheese pizza. You may use other toppings or kitchen tools to develo
I am Lyosha [343]

Interphase: Add mushrooms to represent organelles and a ring of pepperoni to make a nuclear membrane. Strips of peppers would represent the DNA inside the nucleus. To model the end of interphase, double the number of mushrooms on the pizza to indicate the copying of the organelles. Double the number of peppers inside the nucleus to represent the replication of DNA.

Prophase: Pair strips of pepper inside the nucleus to show the formation of chromosome pairs. Strips of aluminum foil would represent spindle fibers.

Metaphase: Line up the pair of peppers along the middle of the pizza. Removing the pepperoni would show the breakdown of the nuclear membrane.

Anaphase: Split up the pairs of peppers, and show the spindle fibers, made of aluminum foil, pulling them to either side of the cell.

Telophase: Make two new nuclear membranes around the pepper strips using pepperoni. Separate the pairs of peppers to show the chromosomes unwinding.

Cytokinesis: Cut the pizza across the middle to show the cell dividing into two daughter cells.
