Answer:
Infectious dose refers to the minimum number or amount of pathogens required in order to produce a disease or its symptoms. In the given case, the bacterium is non-resistant and is treated with antibiotics.
The antibiotics help in neutralizing the infectious agents; however, full course should be done to eliminate the infectious agent completely out of the body.
If the course is left in between then, there are very high chances that some bacteria may survive. They might not produce disease or symptoms as they would be less than infectious dose.
However, with time, the survived bacteria gain more and more mutations during replication which can develop antibiotic resistance capability in them.
In addition, it is also possible that the survived bacteria can get R-plasmid (which has antibiotic resistant gene) from body's normal flora or from any other infectious agent present in the body by the process of transformation or conjugation.
The R-plasmid enables them to survive even in the presence of antibiotics due to which the treatment of the disease might become difficult.
The period of Convalescence is the time during which the person regains health and fully recovers.
Explanation:
- Diseases that can spread from one person to other are called infectious disease.
- Disease development is divided into Incubation period, Prodromal period, period of illness, Decline period, and period of Convalescence.
- During incubation period the pathogen enters the host body and starts multiplying itself. But the signs of diseases are unnoticeable.
- Then comes the prodromal period, when the pathogen keeps multiplying itself and some signs of disease are observed but they are not obvious
- After the prodromal period comes the period of illness when the patient exhibits obvious signs of sickness.
- As the period of illness is over the symptoms of disease start to cease and the the number of pathogen decrease in body.This period is the period of decline.
- Finally comes the period of Convalescence when the person returns to his pre-disease state and is completely healthy. (except irreversible damage caused by the disease)
Answer:38 ATP
Explanation: It produces a total of 38 ATP, with a single molecule of Glucose
Answer:
B. The tropospheric gases move becuase of convection currents.
Explanation:
The uneven heating of the regions of the troposphere by the sun ( the sun warms the air at the equator more than the air at the poles )causes convection currents, large-scale patterns of winds that move heat and moisture around the globe. In the Northern and Southern hemispheres, air rises along the equator and subpolar ( latitude about 50 to about 70 north and south ) climatic regions and sinks in the polar and subtropical regions. Air is deflected by the Earth's rotation as it moves between the poles and equator, creating belts of surface winds moving from east to west ( easterly winds ) in tropical and polar regions, the winds moving from west to east ( westerly winds ) in the middle latitudes. This global circulation is disrupted by the circular wind patterns of migrating high and low air pressure areas, plus locally abrupt changes in wind speed and direction known as turbulence.
