Summary Introduction

To determine:

The difference between contamination, infection and diseases and the also mention the possible outcome of each.

Introduction:

Infection is the attack on the individual body by disease-causing agents. In infection, the disease-causing agent will multiply and release the toxin inside the host body. Contamination suggests the presence of the unwanted particle in a pure material. A disease is a condition in which the health of a person deteriorates.

Explanation of Solution

The following table represents the difference between the contamination, infection and diseases are as follow:

ContaminationInfectionDiseases
Contamination means the presence of a harmful microorganism that can cause infection in the host body.Infection is the term used when the parasite or microbe multiply in the host body.A disease is a stage, in which a change in the state of health occurs. In this condition tissues and organs are damaged.

A possible outcome of contamination, infection, and disease are as follow:

(1). Contamination may or may not be infected the host body because an infection usually signifies a sickness. The outcome of contamination is an infection. Infection can be of two types local or generalized

(2). Infection leads to the various kinds of symptoms in the host body. Different sort of infection will show different symptoms. Some common symptoms are a headache, abdomen ache, chills, sweating, body pain, weight decline, loss of appetite.

(3). Disease happens when the host immune system becomes weak and the pathogen invades the cells of the host body where it has first affected.

Conclusion

Contamination means the entry of microbes, infection is the multiplication of microbes in the host body, and diseases are the stage in which the health of the host body degrades.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
