Answer: Diagnosis: The presence of nitrites in the urine confirms the urinary tract infection.

Explanation:

Treatment: The urinary tract infection will be concerned with the antibiotic therapy to kill the bacteria producing excess nitrites. Educating K.N. about the risk factors associated with the multiple sex partners and transfer of bacteria through sexual contact.

Use of fluroquinolones and nitrofurantoin:

Fluroquinolones: This is an antibiotic which has bacteriocidal property can be useful in the treatment of urinary tract infections.

Nitrofurantoin: It is an effective antibiotic in killing bacteria it gets activated inside the bacteria.

Nitrituria is a condition in which the nitrites are present in the urine that is indicative of the presence of bacterial infection. It is caused by the <em>E. coli</em> bacteria inside the urinary tract. It is responsible for converting the nitrates into nitrites.

30. One cause of muscle soreness is
xenn [34]

Answer:

c. lactic acid fermentation

Explanation:

If we did alcoholic fermentation, working out would make us feel drunk, not sore. This is only done by yeasts (a type of fungus) and bacteria. Glycolysis is simply an anaerobic process that occurs with fermentation and also regular aerobic respiration. It doesn't cause any soreness on its own. The Krebs cycle is the second major part to cellular respiration; it produces 6 NADH's, 2 FADH2's, 4 CO2's and 2 ATP; it's not involved in creating any soreness, as cell respiration does not create soreness. That leaves lactic acid fermentation, which we, bacteria, yeasts, and other organisms do. This is what we do when we run out of ample oxygen while doing some strenuous activity. Glycolysis is done with it. Glycolysis, however, relies on NAD+ to create ATP we need to maintain the same level of activity, lactic acid is produced as it accepts the 2 electrons and [H+] NAD+  should accept.
