Scientist noticed that humans have distinct bacterial communities in their guts; the bacteria in lean humans is different from the bacteria in obese humans. In an experiment investigating the effects of gut bacteria on weight gain/loss in mice, gut bacteria from obese humans were given to one group of mice. A second group of mice were given gut bacteria from lean humans. The mice who received gut bacteria from the obese people gained more weight even though they didn't eat more than the mice who received germs from the lean individuals. What is the observation for the example above? Select the best answer. Obese humans have different bacteria than lean humans. If gut bacteria affect weight then the mice given lean human's bacteria will lose weight. Does the gut bacterial community cause changes in weight? The gut bacterial community can cause changes in weight.

Which of the following options best describes the process of selection for antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the presence of an antibiotic? Antibiotic resistance occurs when the human body resists an antibiotic; the bacteria are not under selective pressure Antibiotic-resistant cells are naturally stronger, so they always take over in the presence of antibiotic- sensitive cells Antibiotics kill off sensitive cells, while resistant bacteria survive and multiply O In the presence of antibiotics, most bacterial cells react by becoming resistant before they start dividing again MacBook Air DD 000 80 F9 000 F8 F7 F5 F6 F3 F4
The researchers hypothesized that if resistant strains of group A streptococci existed in schoolchildren, they probably are circulating in the general public as well. Describe how they tested this hypothesis, and discuss the results of this experiment.
A Sheepherder rush to you, during one of your surveillance visit to a community, with a concern, that his 9 year old child just feed his animals with part of the food items he bought for cooking tonight and the following happened; 1. Two out of seven of his sheep, 1/5 goats just collapse and become unconscious. 2. But the Horse he ride and Dog were not affected. 3. The food and feed given were wheat palates, Butter beans, Yam peels, Corn and some food ruminants from the kitchen. Questions 1. What disease would you suspect

You are a scientist raising two colonies of mice that are identical except for their exposure to germs. Specifically, the first colony contains mice that have been exposed to germs and the second contains mice that are germ-free. Which of the following is a difference you should expect to observe between these colonies of mice? a.Germ-free mice have more motor activity b.Germ-free mice have reduced food intake c.Germ-free mice display less anxiety d.Germ-free mice have more active immune systems Clear my choice
In 1554, a cholera outbreak occurred in London. Cholera is a disease that causes intense diarrhea and can be fatal. At the time, many people believed that diseases were caused by “bad air.” John Snow had another idea; he thought that cholera was caused by something in the environment where people lived. He went door to door and made a map showing households that had cholera. He found that most of the cases were near the Broad Street Water Pump. John Snow made a case that the water from the pump was making people sick and the pump was shut down. REASONING: If water was the cause of the sickness, then

In 2014, eleven Ebola virus infected patients were hospitalized in the United States. Some of these Ebola infected patients were treated with blood serum obtained from patients that had survived the Ebola virus infection . What was the rationale for using this serum? This blood serum contains anti-Ebola virus antibodies produced by the Ebola virus infection survivors. These antibodies may help the patient fight the Ebola infection. The blood serum of an individual that survived the Ebola virus infection contains B cells and T cells, which may help the patient fight the Ebola infection. This serum acts as a vaccine against Ebola because the Ebola virus infection survivors carry attenuated Ebola viruses. This serum is rich in natural killer cells, which may help the patient fight the Ebola infection.
Hepatitis B Virus is 42nm in diameter. Sacromyces cervisiae (a yeast) has a diameter of 4um in length. Staphylococcus aureus (bacteria) are 0.001mm in diameter.
