Why HIV virus not spread by mosquito

Biology
1 answer:
muminat3 years ago
3 0
Mosquitoes have a 6-tube system in their "snout". It's a big big needle with 6 parts to it. 4 of those parts are used to pierce the skin of the human. The other 2 parts are 2 tubes. One of those tubes sends saliva from the mosquito down into the human. The other sends blood up from the human into the mosquito.
Now, unlike some viruses (like dengue and Zikka), HIV cannot replicate inside a mosquito. HIV replicates inside human T-cells...there aren't any of those inside a mosquito gut. Eventually the HIV is destroyed and never makes it to the saliva of the mosquito - so the mosquito can never infect a human with HIV.

What is the difference between bracketed key and indented key?​
____ [38]

Answer:

<em>Bracketed and indented keys are two dichotomous/or branching keys with an ordered, numbered couplet, and spatially differentiated respectively.</em>

Explanation:

Dichotomous keys are used in the identification and classification of taxa.

Bracketed keys, or parallel keys, are easy to understand- for efficiency, these keep the first two entries of every couplet or pair being compared. It also makes use of a numbering system in the couplet choices for easy tracking.

Indented keys maintain an equal distance from the margin on the left of the pages. Successive couplets are indented til the taxon is identified.

You've been experiencing acid indigestion lately, and you'd like a quick fix for the problem. You do a little research on the In
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

<em>C: After 1 hour, the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3</em>

Explanation:

The degree of acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a substance is its pH. The value of pH ranges from 1 to 14 with the former being extreme acidity and the latter being extreme alkalinity while pH 7 is considered neutral.

Hence, any pH below 7 is considered acidic and above 7 is considered alkaline.

Reactions involving equal volumes of an acid and a base can end in acidic, alkaline or neutral pH depending on the strength of the acid/base involved;

  • Equal volumes of strong acid with strong base will result in neutral pH
  • Equal volumes of weak acid with strong base will result in alkaline pH
  • Equal volume of strong acid with weak base will result in acidic pH

If substance A and B reacts with equal volume of the same acid under the same condition and the end result of A is a solution with pH of 9.2 and that of B is a pH of 8.3, it simply means substance A is a stronger base than substance B.

<em>Hence, the only outcome that supports the hypothesis that a tablet of PEPCID AC can neutralize more stomach acid than a tablet of Alka-Seltzer is that the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3 after being subjected to the same condition.</em>

If an indigestion is due to excess stomach acid, the only way to reduce the acidity is to consume a substance that will decrease the degree of acidity in the stomach. This means that the patient will need to consume something that is alkaline in order to increase the pH.
