Mr. L was walking through the woods wearing shorts and sandals. He noticed a small tick on his ankle the same evening, and several weeks later he developed flu-like symptoms. A sample of his blood revealed the presence of long, wavelike cells that were twisting and waving. Based on the microscopic findings, which type of microorganism is responsible for Mr. L's symptoms
Answer:
Protozoa
Explanation:
The long, wavelike cells seen under the microscope would most likely be protozoa and the microorganism responsible for Mr. L's symptoms.
Tick as a vector is capable of causing diseases such as lyme disease, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus disease, tularemia, and a host of other diseases. Among all the diseases, babesiosis is particularly caused by a protozoan known as Babesia microti and it elicits malaria-like symptoms in individuals. Most of the other diseases are caused by bacteria pathogens while a few are caused by virus.
Apart from the above, the morphological characterization of the microorganism responsible for Mr. L's disease is typical for protozoans. Many of them are long and flagellated with a wave-like motion as a movement.
Hence, the case of Mr. L would be that of protozoa.

Explanation:
A 36 years old female came to see the doctor with the complaint of amenorrhea (absence of menstrual period) for past three months. She is worried if she is pregnant although she never missed her Contraceptive Pills. She recently noticed some milky discharge from her left breast and abnormal facial hairs. She also said that her period was irregular and less in amount for past one year. She also gained 15 pounds during last year but denies any cold intolerance, dry skin, depression, fatigue or hot flushes.
Her menarche was at 14 and she had regular 21 days cycle till last year when it became irregular and gradually scanty.
Her LMP (last menstrual period) was 3 months back.
She has a 10 years old healthy child (normal vaginal delivery). She has regular Pap test, last test was done 10 months ago which was normal.
Her mother had menopause at age 55.
Her vitals were normal.
Her pregnancy test was done at the office which was Negative.
The doctor reassured and discussed hormonal imbalances with her. She recommended her urine and blood tests for hormone levels and pelvic ultrasound to check her reproductive organs. The doctor advised her to come back with all the test result
1. After reading given case, what will be the most likely diagnosis of this patient?
2. Normal woman does not show and breast discharge, what could be the reason in this patient for breast discharge?
Help me answer to your best of ability
Answer:
The correct answer is -
1. galactorrhea or prolactinoma
2. hormonal imbalance (prolactin imbalance)
Explanation:
The given symptoms experienced by the patient are the absence of menstrual cycles, an increase in weight, some milky discharge from her left breast, and abnormal facial hairs. The pregnancy tests show she is not pregnant and she also does not experience cold intolerance, dry skin, depression, fatigue or hot flushes.
All these suggest that there is a hormonal imbalance in her and due to producing a white substance from the breast it can get that there is too much production of prolactin, which suppresses the effect of estrogen, which is producing by the pituitary gland.
Galactorrhea or prolactinoma are two disorders that affect the production of prolactin that cause milky discharge, it can be caused by overuse of contraceptives or underlying conditions.

At which location is contact metamorphism least likely to occur
1. divergent boundary
2. convergent boundary
3 .transform boundary
Contact metamorphism is the result of rising of hot magma, where by contact, other previously solidified rocks also metamorphize. This events occurs in convergent and divergent plate boundaries.
-------------------------------------
Contact metamorphism refers to a localized metamorphism. It occurs in the vicinity of intrusive igneous rocks and results from the term effects of hot magma.
Contact metamorphism occurs under elevated temperatures and low-pressure conditions. It is closely related to magmatism.
It occurs in oceanic dorsals, where the extremely hot magma rising to the surface metamorphizes other previously solidified magmatic rocks.
It is very common to find this metamorphism at both convergent and divergent plate boundaries, where molten rock is produced.
I. Convergent. Collision area between two plates. Two oceanic plates might collide, or one oceanic plate with a continental one. In this last case, the oceanic crust sinks under the continental plate, and magma rises to the surface by crevices. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate. Also, collisions create volcanic arches and continental arches. In these boundaries, blueschists form by contact and regional metamorphisms.
II. Divergent: New crust is created by the rising molten materials coming from the mantle when two plates separate. A stream of hot material creates a new seabed between the separating plates, producing the sea bottom expansion. This process occurs along with an underwater mountain range, known as the mid-oceanic ridge or divergent ridge. Chlorite and plagioclase metamorphic rocks are formed by contact metamorphism.

Many anti-evolutionists believe that since science doesn't have answers for all questions; scientific conclusions are not necessarily correct. This attitude reflects a failure to understand the nature of science. What is the general nature of scientific thinking? In what way is science "self correcting"?
Answer:
In science, accepted theories do not represent absolute truths. A scientific theory is accepted when there is much evidence available that support its statements, but new lines of evidence can modify original presumptions
Explanation:
A scientific theory is a plausible explanation of a particular phenomenon of the natural world, which has been many times tested and verified by using the scientific method. The accepted theories are progressively modified (or even overturned) as new lines of evidence emerge. In consequence, a scientific theory is composed of statements that we consider as truths regarding the available evidence, but we have no absolute certainty that such statements are true. The ability to self-correct is fundamental in science and it happens when we discover that the original statements of a scientific theory were wrong, thereby new lines of evidence allow us to correct the error and/or develop new scientific theories.

A boatload of Swedish tourists, all of whom bear the MM blood group, is marooned on Haldane Island, where they are met by an equally sized population of Islanders, all bearing blood group NN. In time, the castaways become integrated into Island society. Assuming random mating, no mutation, no selection (based on blood group), and no genetic drift, what would you expect the blood group distribution to be among 4000 progeny of the new Haldane Island population
Answer:
1000 MM individuals; 2000 MN individuals; 1000 NN individuals
Explanation:
The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that, under certain conditions, the frequency of alleles and genotypes in a sexually reproducing population will remain constant over generations. The Hardy-Weinberg assumptions include random mating, sexual reproduction, and the absence of evolutionary forces such as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift (as in the example above). Under these conditions, the frequency of alleles and genotypes in a population will not change and tend to the equilibrium. In this case, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of the M allele or 'p' must be equal to 0.5, and the frequency of the N allele or 'q' must be equal to 0.5 (i.e., the sum of all allele frequencies in the population must be equal to 1). Moreover, the frequencies of the genotypes will be p², 2pq, and q² >> p² (MM genotype) = (0.5)² = 0.25; q² (NN genotype) = (0.5)² = 0.25; and 2 x p x q (MN genotype) = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.50. In consequence, under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, in a population of 4000 diploid individuals (8000 alleles), we have
- 4000 M alleles (M = 0.5) and 4000 N alleles (N = 0.5);
- 1000 MM individuals [p² >> (0.5)² = 0.25]; 2000 MN individuals (2pq >> 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5) and 1000 NN individuals [q² >> (0.5)² = 0.25].

Noah wants to show the largest source of carbon on Earth for his school project. According to his research, most of the carbon on Earth is stored in the form of
.
Answer:
The majority of carbon on Earth is found in rocks and sediments, with the remainder found in the ocean, atmosphere, and living creatures. Carbon cycles pass through these reservoirs, or sinks.
Explanation:
For his school project, Noah wants to demonstrate the earth's natural primary carbon-producing source. His results suggest that sedimentary rocks are where the majority of the carbon on earth is preserved for future use.
What is sedimentary rock?The gradually building or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation, is the process by which sedimentary rocks are formed. Sedimentation is the broad term employed to define the procedures which lead to the accumulation of these particles.
Sedimentary rocks are constructed from pre-existing rocks or remnants of extinct creatures. They emerge from deposits that amass on the Earth's surface. Apparent bedding or layering is particularly common in sedimentary rocks.
Thus, his results suggest that sedimentary rocks are where the majority of the carbon on earth is preserved for future use.

scientists believe the earth likely warmed between 0.65 celsius and 1.05 celsius with an average value of 0.85 celsius between years 1880 and 2012. what was error bar for the increase in temperature over that period?
Answer:
The lower limit is 0.65°C
The upper limit is 1.05°C
the average is 0.85°C
The difference between the average and the lower limit is:
0.85°C - 0.65°C = 0.20°C
the difference between th average and the upper limit is:
0.85°C - 1.05°C = -0.20°C
Then we can write the change in temperature as:
T = 0.85°C ± 0.20°C
Now we want to find the error bar.
The error bar would be the total distance between the lowest value and the largest value.
Then the error bar is:
1.05°C - 0.65°C = 0.40°C
notice that the error bar is twice the error, which makes a lot of sense because the error (± 0.20°C) goes up and down.
Then the error bar in this measure has a magnitude of 0.40°C.
Direct counts of cells in liquid samples can be performed using a Petroff-Hausser counting chamber. Research this method and describe how it compares to the viable plate count method of determining the number of CFU in a sample.
The viable plate count is the most commonly used method to estimate the number of viable cells in a sample; while the Petroff-Hausser counting chamber is a direct microscopic count method generally used for counting bacteria and sperm cells.
The Petroff-Hausser counter is a counting chamber used to count microorganisms and cells (e.g., bacteria and spermatic cells) under the microscope.
The Petroff-Hausser counter chamber is divided into 25 large squares which are in turn divided by double lines. Moreover, within each large square, there also are 16 small squares divided by single lines.
Petroff-Hausser counting chambers are often used to directly determine the number of bacteria in a culture or liquid medium. Petroff-Hausser counting chambers are used to count the number of cells in a given volume of culture liquid by observing 10 to 20 microscope fields.
The viable plate count, also known as simply plate count, is the most commonly used procedure to estimate the number of viable cells in a sample.
The viable plate count method consists in obtaining serial dilutions of a sample having viable microorganisms/cells which are plated onto a growth medium.
This method (viable plate count) can be used to determine the number of actively dividing cells.

black coffee has a pH of 5, therefore its H+ concentration is ______ times greater than a solution with a pH of 10.
Answer:
100,000
Explanation:
pH of coffee = 5
pH of solution = 10
Concentration of H+ ions between successive pH values are in multiples of 10
Hence, the pH difference :
pH of solution - pH of coffee
(10 - 5) = 5
Hence, difference in H+ ions will be :
10^5 = 10*10*10*10*10 = 100,000 times
The body regulates the amount of hormones are released by using feedback loops. A __ feedback loop increases the response whereas a __ feedback loop decreases the response.
Positive feedback loop increases the response whereas a negative feedback loop decreases the response.
What is positive feedback?Positive feedback is the amplification of a body's response to a stimulus. For example, in childbirth, when the head of the fetus pushes up against the cervix (1) it stimulates a nerve impulse from the cervix to the brain (2).
A feedback mechanism resulting in the inhibition or the slowing down of a process.
Examples of processes that utilise negative feedback loops include homeostatic systems, such as thermoregulation (if body temperature changes, mechanisms are induced to restore normal levels), blood sugar regulation (insulin lowers blood glucose when levels are high ,glucagon raises blood glucose when levels are low).
