Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The scientific hypothesis can be defined as an idea or explanation or a proposed explanation which is then tested through the scientific study and experimentation. It is based on some observation. It is usually more than a wild guess but less than a well-established theory.

Thank you in advance!
Who has a better incentive to work long hours in a laboratory researching new cures for diseases: a scientist who earns a percentage of the profits from any new medicine she might invent, or a scientist who will get a handshake and a thank you note from her boss if she invents a new medicine?

Or at least that the website tells potential customers. The inventor and chief advocate of the products is Jim Humble. There is little evidence to support the fact that MMS does anything to patients aside from making them feel worse than they did before they tried it. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is typical in its conclusions about the so-called miracle drug. The FDA is typical in its conclusions about the so-called miracle drug. The FDA identifies it as 28 percent sodium chlorite, which , when mixed with an acid (as recommended), produces a potent form of bleach. The product’s labels suggest high oral doses for the minimum effect. The FDA states the oral doses will produce nothing but nausea, vomiting, dehydration, and diarrhea. Humble claims to have “treated” 100,000 patients in Mexico and other parts of the world. It is also clear that MMS has been used on pancreatic and lung cancer patients…arrow_forward

Please select the correct answers: O Compared to the first snakebite, are you equally sensitive to the venom from the second bite. There are no residual cells or antibodies that were involved in the original encounter with this snake venom and, therefore, no recall response. You are not protected from the second bite. The immunoglobulin you received 1 year ago protected you temporarily but those antibodies are now gone and you have no memory B cells to produce new antibodies during the second exposure. Antibodies in the serum bound to the snake venom and neutralized its ability to cause damage. Phagocytes then engulfed and destroyed…arrow_forward

- Polio (poliomyelitis) is a serious disease that either kills or paralyzes a large number of people (especially children) before the development of the vaccine. The first vaccine against polio was developed by the American doctor Dr. Salk in the 1950s. The effectiveness of the vaccine was studied using the following experimental setup: 400,000 elementary school children from grades 1, 2, and 3 participated in the experiment. 200,000 children were vaccinated and 200,000 children were not vaccinated. For each child in the experiment, a coin was flipped. If the result of the flip was heads, the child was placed in the treatment group and received the vaccine injection. If the result was tails, the child was placed in the control group and received a placebo injection (dummy vaccine). The health status of the children was then monitored over a certain period. The children participating in the experiment, their parents, the doctors who administered the injections, and the doctors who…arrow_forwardSuppose I observe that community with lots of doctors tend to have relative high rates of illness, I conclude, therefore, the doctors cause the illness, what's wrong with this reasoning?arrow_forwardThe Ebola virus is a zoonotic virus, which means that it can spread from animals to humans. Once a person is infected, the virus affects multiple organ systems in the body. Infected cells can attach themselves to blood vessels, causing uncontrollable internal bleeding in some patients, accompanied by high fever—a condition known as hemorrhagic fever. Other common symptoms include liver and kidney failure, vomiting, and diarrhea. On average, 50% of people that contract Ebola die from the disease, though the fatality rates of past outbreaks have varied from 25% to 90%. Scientists isolate virus RNA from blood samples and then convert the RNA to DNA. Using DNA sequencing, they then compare virus sequences isolated from individuals in different locations and at different times in an outbreak. By identifying differences in the viral genomes, scientists can reconstruct the history of how the virus spreads and mutates. Tracking mutations over time can also reveal whether the virus is…arrow_forward
