Answer:

Stage IV - There is a primary tumor, lymph node involvement and metastases.

Explanation:

Staging is the extent of spread of tumor within the patient.

The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) divides all cancers into Stages 0 - IV, incorporating into each stage several TNM (tumor/node/metastasis) stages usually with the same prognosis.  

Staging is essential in determining the patient prognosis.

The approximate 5-year survival rate for colorectal cancer patients of all stages is 64.4% (In the United States) and survival is inversely related to stage.

Surgery usually provides the only curative option for patients diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer.

irina [24]
The biome that has infertile soil, principally oxisols, to which the vegetation <span>has roots systems that capture nutrients from litter decay, is the tropical rainforest.

Soil types are highly variable in the tropics and are the result of a combination of several elements or variables which includes climate, vegetation, topographic position, parent material and also the soil age. Most of the tropical soils are described by leaching and poor nutrients. It also has two classifications: namely the ultisols and oxisols. Ultisols are known as well-weathered, acidic red clays soils. They are deficient primarily in major nutrients such as potassium and calcium. Oxisols are also an acidic type of tropical soil. However, they are well drained compared to the ultisols.

Explain how the equations for photosynthesis and respiration are related. Identify each as being either catabolic or anabolic re
larisa [96]

Answer:

An anabolic reaction can be described as a reaction in which reactants join to form products. In the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water molecules join to build up glucose molecules hence, it is an anabolic reaction.

The catabolic reaction can be described as a reaction in which large molecules are broken down into smaller substances. In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Hence, cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.

The equations of photosynthesis and cellular respiration are exactly opposite to one another. Hence, holding a connection. The products of photosynthesis are the reactants of cellular respiration and vice versa.

Antagonsitic effect/interaction/response

In order to combat antiobiotic resistance, and to possibly enhance the activity of antibiotics, they are sometimes used in combinations during treatment. However, three possible responses or effects can manifest. 

First is antibiotic synergy, where the combined effect of the antibiotics enhances the activity/potency of the treatment compared to when the antibiotics are administered singly.

The effect is also distinguished from another type of response, which is additive effect, where the combined effect of the antibiotics is more or less equal to the combined activity/potency of each of the antibiotic when applied singly. Antibiotic synergy results in even greater enhancement of the activity of the combined antibiotics compared to additive effect. 

Lastly, there is the antagonistic effect or response, where the combined effect of the antibiotics results in the weakening of the potencies of the antibiotics relative to the combined (additive effect) potencies of each of the antibiotics.
