Answer:
Mosquitoes have 4 life stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Mosquitoes can live and reproduce inside and outside the home. The entire life cycle, from an egg to an adult, takes approximately 8-10 days. Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Thyrocalcitonin or TCT
Explanation:
Thyrocalcitonin or TCT is a non-iodinated calcium lowering hormone. It is originating from the parafollicular cells or C cells (C for calcium).
The thyroid gland consists of follicles of cuboidal epithelial cells. These cuboidal cells have a nucleus at the base. These are principal cells responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones.
In between these follicular cells, other high cuboidal cells are present, known as parafollicular cells / C cells. These cells synthesise the hormone TCT. When there is high levels of calcium ions in the serum, TCT will release. This lowers the high level of calcium ions in the blood and plasma to normal level. This is done due to the deposition of calcium in the bone.
Abiotic factor means no living so your answer is water :)
Answer:
explanation below
Explanation:
Leprosy, known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infection that is caused by Mycobacterium leprae. This disease damages peripheral nerves and effect areas like skin, yes, muscles and noses. Antibiotics are used to treat the infection between 6 – 12 months. When infected people refuse to follow the treatment schedules given to them by the medical experts, there is usually the development of more antibiotic-resistant M. leprae.
M. leprae, just like tuberculosis, cell walls contain fatty molecules known as mycolic acids, which make the bacteria less susceptible to antibiotics.
Researchers have made remarkable progress in developing drugs such as ethionamide, isoxyl, thiolactomycin, and triclosan that are known to inhibit mycolic acid biosynthesis.
The development of these drugs are part of the tuberculosis drug discovery efforts (in the last one decade) which has been successfully applied to therapeutic targets in the unique mycobacterial wall.
Since morphology and cell wall of M. leprae does not differ remarkably from that of M. tuberculosis, antibiotic developed to inhibit the biosynthesis of mycolic acids would help to treat leprosy
