The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.
The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.
And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization
Answer:
a) Protective effect on the health or incidence of disease (low-fat diet and colon cancer)
b) No association between exposure and incidence of disease for health (aerobic exercise and dental caries)
c) Positive association between the incidence of disease and the exposure (exposure to side-stream cigarette smoke and lung cancer)
d) Positive association between the incidence of disease and the exposure (infectious disease of the pelvis and ectopic (tubal) pregnancy).
Explanation:
The interpretation of OR can measure the association between the frequency of exposure and health in a sample that is considered statistically significant. When the OR is equal to 1, it means that there is no association between exposure and an incidence of health disease. When the OR is equal to 0.5, it means that the exposure has a protective effect on the incidence of the disease on health. And finally, when the OR is above to 1, it means that there is a positive association between the incidence of the disease and the exposure.
a) OR = +0.6. Since this value is less than 1 but greater than 0.5, it means that the exposure has a protective effect on the health or incidence of the disease.
b) OR = +1.0. As in this case, the OR value is equal to 1, meaning that there is no association between exposure and the incidence of disease for health.
c) OR = +1.3. As in this case the value is greater than 1, it means that there is a positive association between the incidence of the disease and the exposure.
d) OR = +3.0. There is a positive association between the incidence of the disease and the exposure. The OR 3 value means that the incidence of the disease and the health result will be three higher in people who are exposed.
Answer: B. Invasive species
An invasive species is a species of organisms which is introduced to a new ecosystem and increases in number rapidly. An invasive species complete with the native species for resources and the population of native species being weaker decreases in number, migrate to other locations or extinct. Here, foreign plants can be considered as invasive species because it limited the growth of native species and these foreign plants were only plants left after several growing seasons.
The lack of sunlight in deep oceans limit these types of organisms that can survive
