The difference between the treatment of asthma and hay fever.
Introduction:
Asthma is one of the most commonly occurring respiratory disorder wherein inflammation occurs in the airways of the lungs. It is considered to be the long-term inflammatory disorder of the lungs. Hay fever, on the contrary, is an allergic response, which leads to itchy, sneezing, and watery eyes.

Explanation of Solution
The major differences between the treatment of asthma and hay fever are given as follows:
Treatment of asthma | Treatment of hay fever |
Asthma is the chronic disease and people may have to stay on the treatment for their entire lives. The best way to improvise the condition is to identify the triggers, which activate the condition and avoid them. | One of the best treatments for hay fever is to avoid the allergen and washing the nasal pathway. Certain foods and pollens trigger, which can activate the allergic reactions. Nasal washing is rinsing the internal side of the nose with the help of a warm salt in order to flush out the extra mucus and irritants present. |
Bronchodilator, steroids, and anti-inflammatory medications work best for the treatment of asthma. | Decongestant, eye decongestant, bronchodilator, and steroids help in treating the hay fever. |
Therefore, it can be concluded that the difference between the treatments of two conditions is that in asthma the individual will have to rely on the medication throughout their lives and avoid the triggers. In hay fever, it is an allergic response, irritants should be avoided, and medication is temporary.

- One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. 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_forwardHow do i know which way the arrows go?arrow_forward

Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references.
