Based on the CDC guidelines a person with a CD4+ cell count between 200-400 is regarded as being in <u>the second stage</u> of the HIV infection.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a condition caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). AIDS is a chronic disorder and can become life-threatening for the infected person. The HIV viruses reproduce inside the host and while doing so they destroy the CD4+ immune cells which reduce the person's ability to fight against other diseases.
CD4+ cell count and AIDS
According to the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), HIV infection is categorized into different stages based on the number of CD4+ cells.
- Stage 1: - CD4+ cell count is more than 500 per microlitre. There are no symptoms or AIDS-related conditions.
- Stage 2: - CD4+ cell count is more than 500 per microlitre. There are no symptoms or AIDS-related conditions.
- Stage 3: - The CD4+ cell count falls below 200 and AIDS-related symptoms and conditions are present.

Answer:
b. Exchange between the plasma and the intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.
Explanation:
The body fluid can be categorized as extracellular and intracellular fluid. The fluid within cells is called intracellular fluid and the body fluid outside body cells makes the extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues.
On the other hand, the extracellular fluid present within blood vessels is termed blood plasma. Therefore, plasma and intracellular fluid can exchange material via interstitial fluid only, not directly via the cell membrane. The exchange between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.
Answer:
I think it's number 2 (viewpoint).....
Answer:
Invertebrates are the organisms in which backbone or vertebral column is absent.
The three macroinvertebrate categories are annelids, mollusks and arthropods.
Annelids are the organisms having segmented body. They are found in moist places. Examples are leeches and earth worms.
Mollusks are the organisms which are enclosed in a calcium carbonate shell. Examples are snails and slugs.
arthropods are the invertebrates which have segmented body and jointed appendages. Examples are insects and crustaceans etc.
