Answer:

One of the factors for the development of pyelonephritis, in addition to E. coli, is urinary retention and reflux (option a).

Explanation:

Pyelonephritis is an infection of the upper urinary tract caused by bacteria in the urine, such as Escherichia coli.

Under normal conditions, urine in the urinary bladder is aseptic, that is, without bacteria.  The presence of bacteria in the urine indicates a urinary infection.

Urinary retention is the limitation of the expulsion of urine from the bladder. This promotes:

  • <em>An increase in the amount of bacteria present in the bladder. </em>
  • <em>The pressure generated by urine retention causes the bladder to generate a retrograde flow - reflow - towards the ureters, leading the bacteria to the kidneys. </em>

The result of urinary retention and reflux - when bacteria are present - is an infection in the upper urinary tract, called pyelonephritis.

Why is a parent usually a better match for transplanted tissue to a donor than a random individual of the same species?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: For decreased chances of rejection

Explanation:

The three higly polymorphic MHC 1 genes in human beings are HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C.

These determine the compatibility of the organ or tissue in the recipient's body each by the help of many alleles that segregates in a population.

There are very less chances that a random chosen donor will match the a recipient six allele genotype.

Did the diffusion distance differ between the cubes
Brrunno [24]

No, the diffusion distance does not differ between the cubes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Diffusion is the process by which materials get transported from higher concentration to lower concentration. How much ever the cube size is the rate of diffusion remains the same. Depending on the size the diffusion will not happen at once. The more the volume and lesser the surface area diffusion take a longer time.

To transport the materials through the cells through diffusion takes longer time and hence higher organisms have specified organs to help them in this diffusion.
