Answer: True

 

Explanation:

The dual energy x-ray absorptimetry is a technique that is used for measuring the bone mineral density. This technique utilizes the two X-ray beams with different levels of energy. The soft tissues are subtracted in this procedure and the beam is absorbed by the bone. This technique is useful for diagnosis of osteoporosis, to check and diagnose the infected, fractured and healing bones.

Fluid retention is a condition in which excess fluid due to capillary leakage or any other reason fills up inside the circulatory system, body tissues and cavities. The following symptoms will appear:

Discolored skin, aches and tenderness in the limbs, stiffness in joints and weight gain.

The retained excess fluid may react with the X-ray beam hence, will interfere in the process of diagnosis. Thus caution should be taken for such individuals.

Andrei [34K]

The question above is incomplete, the complete version of the question is given below:

In the early days of germ theory, contagious diseases were thought to be caused by fungi or bacteria. In the 1890s, Dmitri Ivanovski filtered extracts from diseased tobacco plants and discovered that the disease could be transmitted to new plants through the filtrate. He concluded that the disease was caused by particles smaller than bacteria: the tobacco mosaic virus.

Which best explains how Ivanovski’s work led to a change in the germ theory?

A. He tried to promote his hypothesis as a law.

B. He used a new experimental method to test his hypothesis.

C. He used a more powerful bacterial strain than other scientists had.

D. He obtained results that confirmed what other scientists were thinking.

ANSWER

The correct option is B.

The germ theory of diseases states that diseases are caused by microbes. Prior to 1890s, scientists believed that communicable diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi; viruses were not known during that time. The work of Dmitri Ivanovski on tobacco plant was the one responsible for the discovery of the existence of viruses. Dmitri Ivanovski was able to arrive at the results he obtained because he used a new experimental method to test his hypothesis.

Since marine life is either freshwater or marine, estuaries play little importance in aquatic ecosystems.
Amanda [17]

Answer: TRUE

Estuaries are the wetlands that receives water from rivers or any other freshwater source and also from ocean. Therefore, the type of water freshwater or saline water present in the estuary depends upon the drainage of water from these two sources. The estuary ecosystem is drastically affected by the changes that occur in the salinity levels. Therefore, the animals which are not tolerated to high salinity levels cannot survive.

Hence, Since marine life is either freshwater or marine, estuaries play little importance in aquatic ecosystems is true.
