Prokaryotes have a significant role in decomposition of organic matter, bringing back key nutrients into the trophic network. By decomposing dead plant or animal parts, they enable the circulation of elements like phosphorus and sodium.
On the other hand, specialized bacteria have a role in transforming nitrogen compounds in the soil, converting them into chemical forms that are suitable for other organisms to use.
An exposure to sarin or sarin like chemical will caused the sarcoplasmic reticulum to be continuously stimulated by the continual electrical signal. This will open the calcium channels and allows the calcium ions to bind continuously with troponin. Sarin is an organophosphorus chemical which is highly poisonous. It is used as a chemical weapon of destruction.
<span>It began with selective breeding in the ancient times where a population with desirable traits were bred with other population to achieve a desired set of traits. It then continued with the advance in the discovery of bacteria (Escherichia coli) and antibiotics. Then Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA. The latest advance being that of gene sequencing and gene editing tools. </span>
Answer:
The correct answer is OPTION B (b. Yes—the initial infection might be acute but the virus can later become latent by becoming integrated into the host cell genome).
Explanation:
The hepatitis B virus has an unusual feature similar to retroviruses. This makes it deadly and difficult to treat when it is at an advanced stage. It basically attacks the liver and can cause both an acute and persistent infection.
In the acute stage, the cells are newly attacked and the body is fighting it off, the symptoms might start showing depending on how long it has invaded the body. These symptoms include dark urine, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), the liver can still fail at this stage causing death.
At the persistent stage, which is already chronic, the invaded cells have been weakened, the symptoms are slow to resolve therefore it is in a prolonged stage which can lead to liver cancer and eventual death.
