Answer:

She got infected through the water she drank at the stream.

Explanation:

Protozoa is a type of pathogenic microorganisms.

Giardia are flagellate protozoa that cause the disease called giardiasis. The parasites enters the body through ingestion of contaminated food or water The food or water are usually contaminated by the feces of infected people or animals.

The protozoa attach to the lining of the host’s small intestine, where they prevent the host from fully absorbing nutrients. They may also cause diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.

The symptoms in the question above points to a likelihood that Terri’s sickness was caused by a Giardia protozoa.

Researchers can manipulate the genes of a mouse so that a single gene in a single tissue either produces an inactive protein (a
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.

2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.

(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in

liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-

bisphosphatase-1 activity

(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
