Answer:
Responsiveness to the environment/adaptation. This is one of the 8 characteristics of living things.
Explanation:
Answer:
<em>a. What is the significance of the rainfall? </em>These bacteria resist desiccation, and its dispersion is favored by winds. A decrease in rainfall means a dryer environment, which the bacteria can resist and makes it easier for the cell to be carried somewhere else by winds.
<em>b. The etiologic agent of the disease is </em><em>Coxiella burnetii</em>
<em>c. This is an example of</em> a zoonosis
Explanation:
Q fiber Pneumonia is a zoonosis world-widely distributed and of global importance, which etiologic agent is <em>Coxiella bunetti</em><em>.</em>
- Zoonosis: Referred to as the infectious diseases that are naturally transmitted from animals to human beings. Among zoonotic pathogens, there are bacteria, viruses, or parasites. They propagate by direct contact, water, and wind, among others. These diseases represent a global importance problem due to the close ties with animals. Zoonotic diseases increase even more as human being keeps dispersing and invading natural wild environments to raise cattle and farm, among other activities.
- The etiologic agent is the element that propitiates the origin and evolution of a disease. Many bacteria and viruses might be considered to be one of the most common etiological agents.
Populations in contact with goats, sheep, and cattle, use to have a positive result for antibodies against <em>Coxiella burnetii</em>. This bacteria is transmitted to humans orally and by inhalation. The microorganisms resist extreme conditions and are highly infectious. The inhalation of only one cell can produce an important infection in the host. It resists desiccation and any other environmental degradation. They can persist for several months and be transported by winds to farther places. This makes it even more difficult to determine the epidemiologic origin.

Gynecomastia is an increase in the size of the mammary gland in men. The condition can occur in one or both breasts. It starts as a small mass under the nipple, which can be sensitive. One breast can be bigger than the other. Its cause is an imbalance between the stimulatory effects of estrogen (female sex hormones) and the inhibitory effects of androgens (male sex hormones) in the breast tissue, when the first ones increase, or the second ones descend.
Gynecomastia is a problem relatively common in the population, and there are three prevalence peaks throughout life:
Newborns: Between 60 and 90% of newborns have gynecomastia, produced by the passage of maternal estrogens through the placenta. It is a transient gynecomastia that disappears in about 2-3 weeks.
Puberty: Gynecomastia in puberty affects mainly young people aged between 10 and 14 years, and is due to the transient and physiological increase in estrogen that occurs at this age.
Elderly: Is due to an increase in fatty tissue with a greater peripheral aromatization ( a process that occurs in adipose tissue and that involves the conversion of androgens into estrogens), a decrease in the production of testosterone by the testes and the use of drugs.
Answer:
C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen
Explanation:
A Stomata take in water,sunlight, and carbon dioxide and release oxygen - this is false, the stomata are for gas exchange (taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen). They do not take in water and sunlight
B Phloem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight - this is false, while it is true that stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight. phloem does not transport water, that is the xylem.
C Phloem transports glucose to the plant, and stomata release oxygen - this is true. Stomata takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, and phloem transport the products of photosynthesis throughout the plant
D Xylem takes in water, sunlight and carbon dioxide and releases oxygen - this is false. Xylem does take in water, but not sunlight, carbon dioxide or oxygen
Answer:
toward the 20% solute side of the membrane
Explanation:
that is the process of osmosis, in which the water moves in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
Basically it's to make it 50% 50%, so the water moves to the 20% solute side to raise the %
I hope it's clear enough.
