Outbreak of diseases may cause by pathogens such as such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. On the cell surface of these organisms proteins are present called antigens. On entering the antigen in the body, the immune system produce antibodies against antigen. It is better to test for disease antigens in sudden outbreaks because these antigens confirms the origin of the outbreak before the pathogen get destroyed by antibodies.

In the case, when the outbreak is sudden, there is a need to test for antigen, as the body has not generated any kind of antibodies yet to defend against the disease. It is thus better to test for the antigens.  

In epidemiology, an outbreak refers to the sudden enhancement in the happenings of the disorder in a specific place and time. The outbreaks involve epidemics, which is usually applied for infectious diseases, as well as ailments with an environmental origin, like foodborne or water disease.

solong [7]

Answer:

Multicellular

Eukaryotic

Heterotrophs

Explanation:

Both cells of fungi and animals are eukaryotic meaning they have  nucleus and organelles. They are multicellular organisms (meaning they are composed of many cells). Their cells are also heterotrophic meaning they depend on organic molecules for energy as opposed to plants that can make their food from abiotic factors. Fungi, however, digest their molecules extracellularly while animals do it intracellularly.

<em><u>•</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>Aerobic Respiration</u>. </em>

<em>In aerobic respiration, breakdown of pyruvate takes place in the presence of oxygen to give rise to 3 molecules of carbon dioxide and water.</em>

2A)  <em>Oxygen is transported from lungs to body cells in the form of oxyhemoglobin . the main 2 gases exchanged are 02 & C02 . 02 is absorbed by blood capillaries from lungs alveoli by diffusion while C02 is absorbed by blood alveoli from blood capillaries by diffusion.</em>

Which of the following two events occur to create a sea breeze? Select all that apply. Warm air rises on the ocean and moves tow
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Warm air rises on land and moves toward the ocean to cool

Cool air moves from the ocean to be warmed by the land

Explanation:

The land heats up faster than the oceans during the day. This is because water has a high heat capacity and takes more energy to raise its temperatures by one degree (even in comparison to land). Therefore land heats up the air above it faster than the oceans. The air mass over land rises due to drop in density. The cooler and denser air mass above the oceans moves towards land to replace the rising warm air. This creates a cool breeze felt on land during the day as the cool air rushes in.
