The cells of the body are perfectly capable of making proteins with a life span of many months, still the cells make proteins which are short-lived. On one hand, they make proteins like hemoglobin having a life span of approximately 120 days, and on the other hand, it makes proteins with life span of few days, such as a tumor suppressor protein. The short lived proteins have their own advantage, as they allow the cells to control their function, and amount precisely.

Which would you expect to be the most active on a cold day?
ira [324]
Biologically thinking, I would say viruses.
Viruses are Inert organisms, they are not influenced by temperature on the opposite of other organisms like humans or bacteria (there are some exceptions in bacteria)
Temperature influences proteins, it could change their conformation and their activity, especially for enzymes.
Temperature decreases the energy flow, due to the decrease of thermal agitation of small molecules like ions in cells.
Viruses don't need active enzymes to live, it just needs host cells, which will be easier on cold days because of the decrease of immune system activity
On cold days you can see an emergence of viruses infections like flu or cold.

Suppose that a person takes a fall while hiking and develops tetanus when the pathogen enters through an open wound in their arm
qaws [65]

The tetanus infection is considered to be a Droplet infection.

<h3>What is Tetanus?</h3>

Tetanus is a neurological disease which is characterized by the occurrence of spasms in the muscle.

Tetanus can be caused if initial care does not take place after the wound occurs and therefore, it is very important to immediately take care of the wound.

To treat the wound tetanus immunoglobulin and tetanus toxoids are given to the person, however, it is necessary to give the two injections using different syringes and at different sites, because the immunoglobulin can cause neutralization fo the toxoid.

Thus, this could be the answer.
