Answer:

Disease caused by close contact or touch

Explanation:

Pathogens are disease-causing organisms. A wide range of organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, helminths could cause diseases in man. The pathogens are grouped into two types-

infectious/contagious/communicable. (e.g.common cold)

non-infectious/non-contagious/noncommunicable(e.g.cancer)

The pathogens transmitted to the host body by touching, coughing, sneezing or by close contact are called as contagions.

The agent which causes diseases by close contact or touch is called contagions

A pathogen is a disease carrying vector that has the ability to spread using a variety of different mechanisms. A pathogen that is a contagion has the ability to spread through touch. An example of such a pathogen would be the one that results in staph infections.

<h3>Research variables</h3>

In every scientific investigation, there are different variables. These include:

  • Independent variables: These are the variables that are supplied by the researcher and often varied to produce different effects. It is often referred to as the 'cause' variable.
  • Dependent variables: These are variables that are measured in the course of research. They are a result of the effects of the independent variable on the experimental subjects or groups. They are otherwise known as 'effect' variables.
  • Constant variables: Variables that are applicable to all experimental groups and are usually kept constant.

Also, there are different groups in research:

  • Control group: The reference group. The group that is not fed with the independent variable and forms the basis for comparison in order to understand the effects of the independent variable.
  • The experimental group: The group that is fed with the independent variable.

If you deposit $10,000 in an account earning interest at an 8% annual rate compounded continuously, how much money is in the acc
Blababa [14]

Answer:14700

Explanation:

Solution

A = P(1 + r/100)n

Amount (A) =?

Principal (P) = $ 10,000

Number of years (n) = 5year

Rate yearly (r) = 8%

Substituting the values in to the formula

   = $ 10,000(1 + 8/100)^5

First we solve the bracket

   = $ 10,000(108/100)^5

   = $ 10,000(27/25)^5

= $ 10,000(1.08)^5

= $ 10,000(1.47)

= $ 14,700

Amount at the end of 5 year is $ 14700

Compound Interest C.I= A-P

= $ 14700 - $ 10000

= $ 4700

elixir [45]

You are in the forest and see a large, snarling, drooling grizzly bear running directly toward you. The adrenaline rush you feel as you run toward the cabin is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system which functions through various interconnected neurons. The sympathetic nervous system’s main role is to stimulate the neuronal and hormonal stress response (also known as body's fight-or-flight response). The sympathetic fibers in the adrenal medulla (inner part of the adrenal gland) produce acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter), which allow the high secretion of adrenaline and low amounts of noradrenaline from it. The sympathetic nervous system also prepares the body for action, especially in situations that are dangerous to survival.
