Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Kingdom is the broadest taxonomic category after domain as proposed by Linnaeus. The Linnaean hierarchy of taxon identifies species as the most specific taxon that include only those organisms that can interbreed to produce the fertile progeny.

Several species with some common features are placed in same genus while related genera are placed in same family. Likewise, related families are placed in same order and the related orders are placed in same phylum.

Hence, kingdom is the least specific or broadest taxon that includes all the related phyla while species is the most specific taxon that include only the organisms that can interbreed.

Answer:

a) Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish Botanist, who was regarded as the FATHER OF TAXONOMY because of his contribution to developing a system of naming and classifying species that is still widely used today. He was the first to create a system for naming organisms.

Linnaeus classified organisms using an hierarchical grouping system called TAXA. He classified organisms into a large group called KINGDOM, which was the least specific. Kingdom was further divided into PHYLUM, phylum into CLASS, class into ORDER, order into FAMILY, family into GENUS, genus into SPECIES, which were the smallest and most specific taxon. Although these hierarchical system of classification was later modified by the addition and removal of grouped organisms, Linnaeus classification still remains the basis/foundation for classifying organisms.

Answer: A low pCO2 indicates respiratory alkalosis which may be primary or secondary to a primary metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonate is calculated from measured [H+] and pCO2 values. A high standard [HCO3- ] indicates either primary metabolic alkalosis or a compensatory response to a primary respiratory acidosis.

Explanation: an increase in PCO2 causes a decrease in pH, which will increase minute ventilation and therefore increase alveolar ventilation to attempt to reach homeostasis. The higher the minute ventilation, the more exchange and loss of PCO2 will occur inversely.

What is the medical term for the process or procedure that destroys or inhibits disease-causing microorganisms to prevent infect
Simora [160]

Answer: Sterilization.

Explanation:

Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.

Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, <u>sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote.</u> A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).

Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than <u>after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.</u>

Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:

  • Wet heat (in steam autoclave)
  • Dry heat (in sterilization oven)
  • Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)

Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:

  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Chlorine dioxide
  • Ozone gases
  • Ethylene oxide
  • Propylene oxide
  • Peracetic acid

Answer:

The structure and function of the chromosome are different in both the prokaryotic chromosome and eukaryotic chromosome. They differ in their size as the genetic information they carry is different from one another.

Eukaryotic chromosome have a different shape from the prokaryotic chromosome as the bacterial chromosome is circular and less complex due to no histone found in prokaryotes as we see in the eukaryotic chromosome. SIze of the bacterial or prokaryotic chromosome is also small and not found in condensed form as these cells carry less genetic information than eukaryotic cells.
