Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows
through the gastric mucous lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo).
Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will never experience symptoms. Others may develop
peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H. pylori is a prokaryotic
flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is
composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50
x 10³ rpm. If the speed of the bacterium is 10.0 µm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to
rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00 × 10² rad?

- 45. Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tra- cheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of an insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a trachea is 1.9 mm long with a cross-sectional area of 2.1 × 10-º m². The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.28 kg/m², and the diffusion constant is 1.1 × 10-5 m²/s. If the mass per second of oxygen diffusing through a trachea is 1.7 X 10-12 kg/s, find the oxygen concentra- tion at the interior end of the tube.arrow_forwardJohn Snow, an English physician, has observed that disease is becoming more prevalent in a local neighborhood and he wants to know why. He collects information about the local people, including how many family members contracted the disease and where they live. John discovers that the disease is most common in homes located closest to the town’s water pump. John contrives an explanation: that the illness is waterborne and people are contracting the disease from water they retrieve from the town’s water pump. After petitioning the authorities, the handle at the pump is removed. John collects data about disease incidence and finds that occurrence of the disease is greatly reduced. John concludes that the water from the pump was causing the illness. What step(s) of the scientific method is/are missing from Data Table 1?
