Answer:

test, control

Explanation:

In an experiment, there will be always a group of individuals, that are going to simulate the normal conditions, in this case the people that are receiving the sugar packets are the one that is called control.  This group are simulating the natural diet, the one that it has been used since humankind discover the sugar cane.

The other group, the one that is receiving the artificial sweetener is called the test group because is the "new" substance that is going to be compare with the ancient, traditional sugar.

In a research, when you have to groups like this, you can compare the effect of the new substance like if the insulin level increases or decreases or still the same.

8. Edible vaccines, a more controversial approach to vaccine development, have been investigated by scientists. Plants can be ge
IceJOKER [234]
After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded

Advantages:

1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.


 

2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)

3) And of course, it's painless and convenient

 


Disadvantages:

1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.

2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants). 
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)

3)"Oral Tolerance":  In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.

Do antibodies respond to inflammation? Please only respond if you know the answer Thank you!
Monica [59]

Answer:

The immune response is how your body recognizes and defends itself against bacteria, viruses, and substances that appear foreign and harmful.

Information

The immune system protects the body from possibly harmful substances by recognizing and responding to antigens. Antigens are substances (usually proteins) on the surface of cells, viruses, fungi, or bacteria. Nonliving substances such as toxins, chemicals, drugs, and foreign particles (such as a splinter) can also be antigens. The immune system recognizes and destroys, or tries to destroy, substances that contain antigens.

Your body's cells have proteins that are antigens. These include a group of antigens called HLA antigens. Your immune system learns to see these antigens as normal and usually does not react against them.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

College students are under risk of alcohol related problems since they are normally always under pressure. Being in many classes and working hard every day and night could stress someone out brutally and could lead to alcohol as well. Some students may even see another student or a roommate of theirs drinking and they could feel a bit curious as of to why they crave such a drink.

Uh- if this made no sense or is incorrect in any kind of way please lmk!
