A researcher isolates the blood of an individual who is sick. The blood is filtered through a porous material that will prevent

all cells from passing through. The filtered serum of the blood is then injected into a healthy patient. This patient shows signs of the illness within days of the inoculation. What is the most likely causal agent of the disease based on this information?

B) a fungal pathogen
C) a bacterial pathogen
D) a protozoan parasite

The answer would be A. a virus

The question states that the blood was filtered thru a porous material that prevented <u>all cells </u>from passing thru.

All of the options are cells except viruses.

Hope this helps:)

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, a virus.

Explanation:

It is clearly mentioned in the question, that the blood is filtered via a porous substance, which restricts all the cells to pass through it, thus, of the mentioned options the only virus is a component, which is not a cell, while all the other mentioned things are formed of cells.  

Viruses are not formed of cells, they do not possess the tendency to maintain themselves in a steady condition, and they cannot grow and even cannot produce their own energy. Though they can adapt and replicate on the basis of their surroundings. Hence, the viruses are more like androids in comparison to the real living species.  

A viral disease takes place when the body of an organism gets invaded by the pathogenic viruses, and the infectious particles of viruses get combined with and enter the vulnerable cells. The host shows the symptoms of the illness after some days of invasion when the virus starts to proliferate.

Answer: Because two or more daughter cells will be formed, and each must have the parent chromosome in itself

Explanation:

Cell undergo cell division (mitosis or meiosis) as part of healthy development of a living organism. Before division, the cell during the resting phase( Interphase) makes two copies of all its organelles including nucleus, as it would form two daughter cells (in mitosis) or four daughter cells (in meiosis)

Volgvan

Answer:

Only one of the three statement is true; and that is,

(ii.) Different metabolic end products result from the two types of fermentation

Explanation:

Fermentation is the process by which organic molecules such as glucose are broken down into smaller molecules to extract energy as ATP in the absence of oxygen.

Fermentation is carried out by many organisms including man.

In man, fermentation occurs in very active skeletal muscles such as in an athlete running. It involves the reduction of pyruvate produced from the glycolytic pathway to lactate in the muscles. The net yield of ATP from glucose breakdown to produce lactate is 2 ATP molecules.

In microorganisms such as yeast, the fermentation product of py ruvate derived from glycolysis is ethanol and carbon dioxide, CO₂. The net ATP yield in fermentation of glucose in yeast cells is also 2 ATP molecules.

From the options provided in the questions, the correct option is:

Only one of the three statement is true and that is that, ii. Different metabolic end products result from the two types of fermentation.

Adenosince Triphosphate is broken down into one molecule of inorganic phosphate and a molecule of adenosine diphosphate, the energy released from this bond is captured and use to drive most cellular processes. some form of carbohydrate or triglyceride is used to generate the ATP in the first place depending upon a particular species and needs at the time

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter C

Explanation:

From the graph, we can conclude that catalase has a low activity at low temperatures. Activity increases a little at 30°C and this process is the highest at 40°C, after this temperature, activity disminishes again.

Options:

A. This option is wrong because the number of bubbles at this temperatures is low, maybe the enzyme is already denatured.

B. This answer is wrong, at 30°C the enzyme shows a low activity.

C. This answer is correct because at this temperature the enzyme produces the higher amount of bubbles.

D. The activity of the enzyme at 0°C was not tested.
