Concept explainers
To answer:
According to the graphical representation, which epidemic disease affects many numbers of people during the first three days?
Concept introduction:
In an epidemic, a disease occurs at a greater frequency than the expected in a specific area or population. In the graph, the epidemic of two diseases is seen, which affect patients for only one day. Neither the blue disease nor the red disease is treatable and does not need any treatment. In the graph, both epidemics begin at the same time.
To answer:
What could explain the short time course for the red epidemic?

To answer:
Why was the blue epidemic longer lasting?

The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forward

In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forward
