Answer:

No this is not an outbreak

Explanation:

No it cannot be classified as outbreak because an outbreak is when the number of affected individuals in an epidemic is much higher as compared to the estimated values. However, an epidemic is the one that affects the people around different countries of the globe.

This can be considered as endemic that is restricted to a certain set of people in a community

I would have studied pattern of movement of affected kids. The common pool to which all these kids visited can be the infectious one. Also one can test the pathogen in infected kinds, and look for similar pathogen in pool water through testing.

Carbon chains are principal features of both carbohydrates and lipids.what is the primary difference between these two types of
solong [7]
While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:

1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms.  These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.

2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.
