What would be the most effective method of reducing the incidence of blood flukes in a human population?

Biology
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

By the use of uncontaminated water

Explanation:

Blood flukes are flatworms that are parasitic in nature. These are also called schistosomes.

If we consider the mode of transmission of the parasites to humans, we find that their transmission occurs in the following conditions -

  • These parasites enter the human body when a person is swimming in contaminated water.
  • They can also infect the human body if the person drinks contaminated water or eats food that have been washed with the contaminated water.

Thus it becomes clear that contaminated water is the main source of infection of blood flukes so using uncontaminated water and avoiding to be in contact with contaminated water will reduce the incidence of blood flukes in human population.

Wittaler [7]

Answer: Evaporation of sea water.

Explanation: Rocks formed by the evaporation of water are called evaporites from salts. <u>When seawater evaporates, the salts precipitate and settle to the bottom</u>. <u>The less-soluble compounds (those that dissolve less readily in water) are deposited first</u>.

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.
