Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS for short is known to be a common disorder that affects the colon. IBS causes alternating patterns of constipation and diarrhea. In treating IBS, it requires dietary changes and some medications, especially antibiotics. Some known medications made for IBS patients are known as Lotronex and Amitiza.
Answer:
a. Viral infections may lead to inflammation between the ribs (i.e., costochondritis)
b. Viral infection
c. Viral infection may lead to the influx of chemical mediators (cytokines), increased blood flow, and movement of plasma and white blood cells (leukocytes) from the blood into the injured site
Explanation:
Costochondritis is a painful condition caused by the inflammation of the cartilage that joins the ribs to the breastbone (this joint is known as the “costochondral joint”). Costochondritis is caused by inflammation of the costochondral joint, which may be triggered by multiple causes including, among others, viral/bacterial/fungal infections, exercise or strenuous activity, chest trauma, osteoarthritis, presence of tumors, etc. Acute inflammation is the immediate immune response of the body to harmful stimuli (e.g., viral infections), which is characterized by the increased movement of white blood cells (such as neutrophils and macrophages) that rapidly travel from the blood into the injured area. This plasma contains chemical mediators like pro-inflammatory cytokines which are secreted from immune cells (e.g., Th1 cells, CD4+ cells, macrophages) in order to promote inflammation.
Carrier proteins pick up specific molecules and take them through the cell membrane against the concentration gradient. Examples of active transport include: uptake of glucose by epithelial cells in the villi of the small intestine. uptake of ions from soil water by root hair cells in plants.
Answer:
Option C, resulting in variation genes being expressed in different ways due to environmental conditions
Explanation:
Several genetic traits are affected by both internal and external environmental conditions. Some common examples are – height , color of eye, hair color, skin color, and even some genetic diseases.
The internal environmental factors include – gender, temperature etc.
While the external environmental factors include drugs, chemicals, temperature, and light.
Hence, the external environmental condition i.e pH of soil is producing different color of flowers in a given plant
Hence, option C is correct
