Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile) is a type of bacteria that increases its activity with most antibiotic use, and is therefor

e very difficult to treat. Research shows that the most effective way to prevent the spread of infection is frequent handwashing. However, many people have flat-out refused to wash their hands in hospitals. The government is contemplating passing a policy to make it mandatory for people entering hospitals to wash their hands or else risk not being seen by doctors and being escorted out of the building against their will. Do you think the government should go ahead with this plan?
Consider and discuss the legal, ethical or practical problems that exist for each action option and conclude with a persuasive argument supporting your decision.

Answer:

The government should not go ahead with this plan.

Explanation:

If the government decides to proceed with its plan to pass a law that authorizes the management of a hospital to force people who refuse to wash their hands out of a hospital and deny them medical care against their will, then the government will be infringing on people's right to life. While it is necessary to prevent the spread of Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile) , any law that is made to that effect must not abuse the right of access to medical care which is a fundamental right of citizens. This action will be ethically incorrect because it amounts to a government using a high handed approach in discharging its duties.

However, the intention of such a law is to protect the citizenry from the bacteria Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile) . If such a law is not passed, more people may become infected by the bacteria owing to the carelessness of other people. This situation is made worse because the organism is resistant to antibiotics.

However, since prevention of the spread of Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile) is Paramount, I opine that the government should continue to enlighten citizens and appeal to them on the need to practice regular hand washing in order to protect themselves and other people. Passing the said law is a draconian approach to the problem hence it is not in line with the ethics of modern civilization.

It is more civil to continue to appeal to citizens and sensitize them on the importance of regular hand washing as it affects the spread of Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile) .

Answer: The attachment listed some cell organelles,although there isn't a specific question on then but am going to be defining each of them and state their functions as well.

1. The Nucleus; The is command centre of the cell, it is made up of nuleolus, chromosomes, nucleoplasm,nuclear envelope and nuclear lamina.

it contains the genetic/hereditary materials that the cell is made up of.

The Nucleus plays a great role in the control of growth and development of the cell.

The nucleus also coordinates some of the the activities of the cell like cell division and protein synthesis.

2. Cytoplasm; The cytoplasm is one of the cell organelles,it is the liquid portion of the cell,it consists of cell contents between the plasma and the cell membrane. The fluid cytoplasmic material is where many cell organelles are found/suspended fluid. Most activities carried out by the cell occurs in the cytoplasm.

3. Endoplasmic Reticulum; The Endoplasmic Reticulum is one of the cell organelles that have the structure of a network of flattened sacs and tubules and play a crucial role in plant and animal cell. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes attached to the cytoplasmic side of the membrane and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks attached ribosomes in them thus giving it the smooth appearance.

The Endoplasmic Reticulum functions in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and in and out of the cell and also the production of lipids.

4. Golgi Body; One of the plant organelles that plays a role in the sorting and organizing the proteins produced and processed by the Endoplasmic Reticulum. these proteins are sorted and packed in vessicles to be used by the body.

5. Mitochondria; (a double membrane organelle). It is otherwise known as the powerhouse of the cell,it produce/generate energy in the form of ATP needed for cellular respiration. These energy produced is used for other cellular metabolic activities.

6. Lysosome (Animal) Chloroplast (Plant); Lysosomes are found in most animal cells, they function by digesting good and garbage,they contains acids that aids this function in the stomach of the cell and when the lysosome is diseased or explodes,the cell stops functioning.

The Chloroplast on the other hand is found in the cells of plants and algae,they play a crucial broke in photosynthesis by capturing the energy from the sun and turning the captured energy into usable forms like sugar,glucose and other organic molecules.

7. Cell Membrane; The cell membrane is the cell organelle that forms a boundary between the cell and the sorounding environment.

The cell membrane as well controls the movement of cellular materials in and out of the cell.

8. Nucleolus; The nucleolus is one of the cell organelles where ribosomes are made. The ribosomes are small grain-shaped organelles that make protein and they are found in the surface of rough Endoplasmic Reticulum. Nucleolus are small and round in structure and are found in the nucleus,

9. Vacoule (Plant Cells) Centrioles (Animal Cells); The vacoule is a storage chamber(reservoir) for wanted and unwanted materials in the cell, the vacoule is found within the cytoplasm and it is enclosed by a membrane that typically contains fluid.

The centrioles on the part of the animal cell is a cell organelle that has a structure of a two hollow cylinders,ring of microtubules next to each other(the centrosome).the centrioles are located just outside the nucleus of the cell.

Centrioles function by producing the mitotic spindles for cell division, and also assisting to pull chromosome pairs apart to opposite end of the cell during cell division.

10. Cell Wall; A protective semi permeable rigid outer layer of nonliving material that surrounds the cells of plants and some other organisms.

The cell wall houses the organelles of the plant cell.

The cell wall functions by giving the cell strength and structure,it's semi permeable nature filters and selectively allows certain materials in and out of the cell.

Carbon dioxide concentrations in soil are ________ than (as) in the atmosphere because ________.
Alja [10]
Carbon dioxide concentrations in soil are higher than in the atmosphere because of respiration of the plants, their roots. Also, CO2 is inhigherr concentration because of the decomposition of organic matter. Decomposition of organic matter produce more CO2 because of increased microbial activity. CO2 concentrations can change as a result of temperature change or different soil structure. Composition of air in soil and atmosphere of CO2 is

What is the correct term for variation in characteristics within populations of the same species? A variation in characteristics
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be phenotypic variation.

Phenotype refers to observable traits or characteristics of an individual. For example, height, color, shape, et cetera.

Phenotypic variation refers to the sum total of variations in characteristics within populations of the same species.

In contrast, genotypic variation refers to the sum total of variations (such as allele frequency) present in the genome of populations of the same species.
