Answer:
A monomer is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization.
Examples of the monomers are glucose, vinyl chloride, amino acids, and ethylene.
One cell can divide into two new cells. This is called mitosis. The process of cell division goes through various stages. First the cell nucleus divides into two. A new cell surface membrane then severs the cell divides. The two new cells are called daughter cells and they are small. They will grow larger. they grow by getting nutrients from the food that is eaten. Once they grow to full size they can also reproduce or divide. If cells divide more quickly than they should, or divide in the wrong way, diseases may develop.
I therefore, think all your answers are correct.
Yes, because even though a theory has a lot of evidence to support it, it is not always true. Theories are different from facts because they are not 100% This is proven many times in history. For example, many people used to believe that the sun rotated around the sun. It was not until many years later did they realize there mistake.
Answer: Carbon is one of the essential gases in nature,couple of natural processes causes the release of carbon. Some of the processes include;
- When the remains of producers are broken down by decomposers in the ecosystem.
- When animals break down food molecules to obtain energy, carbon is released.
- When the remains of consumers in the ecosystem are broken down by soil decomposers, carbon is released.
The complete question is :
As an epidemiologist you are going to investigate the effect of a drug suspected of causing malformations in newborn infants when the drug in question is taken by pregnant women during the course of their pregnancies. As your sample you will use the next 200 single births occurring in a given hospital. For each birth a medication history will be taken from the new mother and from her doctor; in addition, you will review medical records to verify use of the drug. [N.B.: These mothers are considered to have been followed prospectively during the entire course of their pregnancies, because a complete and accurate record of drug use was maintained during pregnancy.] The resultant data are: Forty mothers have taken the suspected drug during their pregnancies. Of these mothers, 35 have delivered malformed infants. In addition, 10 other infants are born with malfunctions. What is the relative risk between exposure to the drug and malformations?
Answer:
14
Explanation:
- The relative risk is a measure that is used to calculate or compare the likelihood or the chance that an event would occur while comparing the two groups.
- To calculate the relative risk, the probability of an event occurring in one group is compared with the probability of the event occurring in another group and this is done by dividing the probability of one group by another.
- The value of relative risk is always either zero or greater than zero but it cannot be negative.
- The value 1 indicates neutrality.
- The probability of an event = no. of favorable outcomes/ total no. of outcomes
- For the given question, 35 mothers out of 40 delivered infants that were malformed, so the probability of delivering malformed infants is 35/40.
- Out of the 200 births, 40 have occurred so total births left is 200 - 40 = 160
- Therefore, the probability of the second event is 10/160.
- Therefore relative risk is = (35/40)/(10/160) = (0.875/0.062) = 14
