When you feel cold, there are sensors in your skin that tell the brain you need to warm up. The brain sends messages, by way of

nerves, to the muscles in your body causing them to contract and relax very quickly resulting in a shiver. The movement of the muscles during a shiver generates heat which can be used to warm up the surrounding tissues. Which characteristic(s) of life is being represented during this action?
A) respond to stimuli
B) maintain homeostasis
C) growth and adaptation
D) respond to stimuli and maintain homeostasis

I think it is D because your responding to the cold from stimuli and by creating heat to keep your body the average temperature it is homeostasis.

A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to asses
777dan777 [17]

Answer: A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to assess the frequency of asymptomatic <em>proteinuria</em>.

Your IRB has determined that assent of children age 8 and older is required for the study. A 10 year old firmly declined to participate in the study.

The best procedure that describes the <u>action </u>to be taken by the investigator is:

  • Honor the Childs decision .

Explanation:    

The <em>purpose</em> of the IRB is to <em>assure that appropriate steps are taken</em> to <em>protect the rights </em>and welfare of humans participating as subjects in a research study. It promotes <em>fully informed and voluntary participation</em> by prospective subjects capable of making such choices (or, if that is not possible, informed permission given by a suitable proxy), and seeks to maximize the safety of subjects.

The capacity admits degrees. The same patient may be able to decide certain things and not others. So, the more transcendent or delicate a decision is, the higher the level of capacity required must be. When the patient <u>is not capable, it is up to his relatives to make the decisions.</u>

The concentration of pathogen needed to kill 50% of an infected group of test animals is the __________.
natulia [17]

Answer:

LD50 (median lethal dose)

Explanation:

  • Whenever one needs to quantify the virulence of a pathogen then this is done by using a set of laboratory animals.
  • LD50 (median lethal dose) is an important indicator of virulence. 
  • LD50 is defined as the number of pathogens that are required to kill 50% of the total infected animals.
  • For the calculation of LD50, the animals are infected with a known number of pathogens and then a graph is plotted for the percentage of animals killed against the concentration of the pathogen used for infection.<em> The point at which the graph indicates the death of 50% animals, the corresponding concentration of inoculation of a pathogen is taken as the LD50 of that particular pathogen. </em>
