madam [21]

Question: To study the effect of price on Brett's demand for rock climbing lessons, we hold his monthly income constant. This is an example of a(n) _______ assumption.

a) e pluribus unum

b) ceteris paribus

c) carpe diem

d) carpe vinum

Answer:

To study the effect of price on Brett's demand for rock climbing lessons, we hold his monthly income constant. This is an example of a "ceteris paribus" assumption

Explanation:

The term is used in order to describe the phrase "all other things remaining constant". The concept is significant as in the real life it is difficult to separate variables which also effects and change the result of what we are reviewing. Example of these is the Law of the Gravity which says about the bathroom scale thrown out the window will fall to the ground.

Which electrons in an atom take part in chemical bonding and what are they called
miskamm [114]

Answer: The electrons in an atom that take part in chemical bonding are the electrons in the outermost shell and they are called valence electrons.

Explanation: An atom is composed of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons occupy the centrally located nucleus while the electrons are located in the empty space outside the nucleus. Electrons are distributed around the nucleus in paths called electron shells. The electrons in the outermost electron shells are called the valence electrons. The valence electrons are the electrons that participate in chemical bonding. During chemical bonding, the valence electrons are either transferred from one atom to another or the valence electrons are shared between two atoms. A type of chemical bonding in which there is a complete transfer of valence electrons from an atom of a metal to an atom of a non-metal so that can attain octet or duplet structure of noble gases is called electrovalent or ionic bonding. A type of chemical bonding in which there is sharing of electrons between two atoms of non-metals so that both can attain the octet or duplet structure of noble gases is called covalent bonding.

Explain the interaction that occurs between a t-helper lymphocyte and a b cell when the b cell is being induced to produce peanu
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

           According to Dr. Ray Schiling (member of the American Academy of Anti-aging medicine) about 1.5 million people suffer from peanut allergies. The seeds of peanut (<em>Arachis hypogea</em>) contain an array of allergens that can induce the production of IgE specific antibodies predisposed individuals. Ara1 and Ara2 are most common seed storage protein that cause allergy. Other allergen proteins such as Ara3 to Ara 17 have also been identified that cause allergy.  


Entry of peanut allergen into body

When peanut allergens enter the body of an individuals it leads to development of different symptoms like itchy skin, tingling sensation, nausea, runny nose and anaphylaxis.  

Allergic response

There are two subsets of T-cells Th1 and Th2. Both invoke different response to allergens. Th1 direct a non-allergic response while Th2 direct allergic response ranging from releasing of histamine to anaphylactic response. The presence of IL-12 cytokines direct a Th1 based, nonspecific response.  


Mechanism of allergic response (interaction between helper T cell and B cell)

Step 1.  

           When allergen enter to body they are encountered by B cells. Immunoglobulin receptors on the surface of B cells recognize antigen (Peanut allergens) and get attached, which are then internalized and processed. Within B cells the fragments of antigens combine with HLA class 2 proteins.  

Step 2

             HLA class 2 with antigen fragments (peanut allergens) then display on the surface of B cells.

Step 3

            Receptors on the surface of helper T cells recognizes the complex of HLA class 2 and antigen fragments (peanut allergen) and is activated to produce cytokines, which activate the B cells.  

Step 4

             B cell is activated by cytokines and begins clonal expansion. Some of the progeny become anti-body producing plasma cells while other become memory B cells.
