Unregulated and uncontrolled cell growth is the most common simple definition of cancer. Because of the many types of cancers and a huge range of possible symptoms, treatments are also very diverse. Type of treatment also depends on cancer stage at diagnosis, and the patient's overall health. Some forms of treatment:
• Chemotherapy-usage of chemicals (medications) that target rapidly uncontrolled dividing cells,
• Hormone therapy
• Immunotherapy-usage of the medications that boost the immune system
• Radiation therapy-usage of radiation to kill the cancer cells
• Surgery
• New approaches such as stem cell therapy or personalized therapy.
10% of energy is lost (to heat), for each level of the food chain. So the rabbit would have 500, the snake would have 50 and the hawk would have 5.
The primary ethical guidelines that apply to this experiment are those of human experimentation.
The use of humans as subjects of experimentation would seem to demean their human dignity. The issue of abuse of the human subjects and also the prospects of the clinical trial going wrong (such as causing an adverse effect on the subjects) also raise ethical challenges even when the subjects are volunteers. In case of a clinical error, what is the right compensation?
D since democracy takes decisions from most or all of the people and it tends to be the most fair method.
Answer:
(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.
Explanation:
The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
