viktelen [127]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

A treatment for bacterial infections from the early 20th century has made a comeback-the use of bacterial viruses to eliminate bacterial infections. Which explanation most accurately describes this mechanism of action behind this treatment?

A. A wide variety of bacteria cause a large percentage of human infections, producing much sickness and death.

B. Viruses can infect bacteria, transferring pathogenic genes. The viral genes can then be suppressed, causing the bacteria to not replicate viruses.

C.The attachment structures on the virus and the receptors on the host cells make for exquisite specificity of viruses for particular bacterial species.

D. Antibiotic resistance in humans is on the increase, so using a different kind of therapy is more beneficial.

Answer:

Option (C) and (D).

Explanation:

The pathogens are the organisms that can cause harm to the living organisms. Various strategies and drugs has been research to kill these pathogens

The viruses can also be used to treat the bacterial and viral infections. This methodology was used in the early 20th century but has come back because the antibiotics that are given makes the bacteria resistance against the particular treatment. The virus and bacteria has some specific and unique receptors that provide specificity of the virus against the bacteria and can be used for the treatment.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C) and (D).

Explain how and why drinking water affects:<br> (A) Blood plasma<br> (B) Blood plasma osmolarity
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.

(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.

Explanation:

If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>

Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.
