Complete question:

Question: Susan was bitten by an Anopheles mosquito and tested positive for malaria. What type of pathogen has caused this infection

a. Bacterium

b. Protozoan

c. Prion

d. Virus

Answer:

b. Protozoan

Explanation:

Plasmodium is the causative agent of malaria and is carried by female Anopheles mosquito. The parasite enters the bloodstream when the female Anopheles mosquito bites. Plasmodium is a parasitic protozoan and belongs to the kingdom Protista. Protozoans are unicellular eukaryotes. They are heterotrophic organisms and derive their nutrition from parasitism or predation. Plasmodium is a sporozoan since its spore life stage of the life cycle is infectious.

A fish maintains its depth in fresh water by adjusting the air content of porous bone or air sacs to make its average density th
Volgvan

Answer:

0.153

Explanation:

We know the up-thrust on the fish, U = weight of water displaced = weight of fish + weight of air in air sacs.

So ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ'V"g where ρ = density of water = 1 g/cm³, V = volume of water displaced, g = acceleration due to gravity, ρ'= density of fish = 1.18 g/cm³, V' = initial volume of fish, ρ"= density of air = 0.0012 g/cm³ and V" = volume of expanded air sac.

ρVg = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"g

ρV = ρ'V'g + ρ"V"

Its new body volume = volume of water displaced, V = V' + V"

ρ(V' + V") = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' + ρV" = ρ'V' + ρ"V"

ρV' - ρ"V'  = ρ'V" - ρV"

(ρ - ρ")V'  = (ρ' - ρ)V"

V'/V" = (ρ - ρ")/(ρ' - ρ)

= (1 g/cm³ - 0.0012 g/cm³)/(1.18 g/cm³ - 1 g/cm³)

= (0.9988 g/cm³ ÷ 0.18 g/cm³)

V'/V" = 5.55

Since V = V' + V"

V' = V - V"

(V - V")/V" = 5.55

V/V" - V"/V" = 5.55

V/V" - 1 = 5.55

V/V" = 5.55 + 1

V/V" = 6.55

V"/V = 1/6.55

V"/V = 0.153

So, the fish must inflate its air sacs to 0.153 of its expanded body volume

Which lobe or cortex is farthest from the cerebellum?
gulaghasi [49]
<span>The lobe or cortex is the largest part of the brain, full of thought, perception, imagination. It is a thin layer of gray matter, divided into four lobes with different functions. The frontal lobe is the cortex that is further away from the cerebellum and is responsible for voluntary movements and decisions and is considered the most important lobe where personality and intelligence develops.</span>
