The beneficial uses of bacterial toxins in medicine are more and more used lately. For example, Botulinum toxin is a toxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum which has paralytic effects (injection of this toxin into muscle relax specific muscles). Botulinum toxin accomplishes his effects on the neuromuscular junction where he prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach). Utilization of this toxin is in the treatment of various muscle spasms. It is also used in the treatment of migraines. Diphtheria toxin is also one of the toxins used for medical purposes for the treatment of cutaneous and non-Hodgkin T-cell lymphomas. <span>Some bacterial toxins can be used in the treatment of tumours. For example, immunotoxin, which is protein made by fusion of modified antibody and toxin.The antibody binds to an antigen on the target cell, the toxin then enters via endocytosis and kills the cell. Commonly used bacterial toxins in immunotoxins are Diphtheria toxin and the Pseudomonas exotoxin.</span>
Available options are:
A. a scientific inquiry is used only by scientists.
B. scientific inquiry is a process of asking and answering questions.
C. scientific inquiry has only one correct pathway.
D. scientific inquiry often involves similar processes and practices.
E. scientific inquiry involves performing investigations and collecting data.
Answer:
B, D, E
Explanation:
Given that scientific inquiry is a term that described how people mostly scientists, observe the natural world and then come out with credible justification established on the findings that were derived.
Hence, the statements that describe scientific inquiry are:
1. B. scientific inquiry is a process of asking and answering questions. Through this, scientist want to understand the reason behind a certain phenomenon
2. D. scientific inquiry often involves similar processes and practices. To carry out scientific studies, certain steps and practices are required, regardless of the subject under study, which does not entirely change.
3. E. scientific inquiry involves performing investigations and collecting data. This is because to carry out a scientific inquiry, part of the steps and practice includes performing investigations and collecting data, regardless of the subject under study.
Cells are made up smaller units called organelles that undertake various critical roles in the activities of the cell. Some of these organelles include, mitochondria whose major function is formation and production of energy in the form of ATP, Ribosome is an organelle involved in the protein synthesis, lysosome is involved in the destruction of old and worn out tissues and organelles, Golgi apparatus or complex helps in transportation, modification and packaging of secretions such as proteins and lipids. Therefore, alcoholism affects the activity of lysosomes in the liver since they are tasked in the digestion of proteins using hydrolytic enzymes.
