Suppose that you began a one-year study of tuberculosis (TB) in St. Petersburg on January 1st, 2018. You enrolled 200 residents

in your study and checked on their TB status on a monthly basis. At the start of your study on January 1st, you screened all 200 residents. Upon screening, you found that 10 of the healthy residents were immigrants who were vaccinated for TB and so were not at risk. Another 10 residents already had existing cases of TB on January 1st. On February 1st, two residents developed TB. On April 1st, three more residents developed TB. On July 1st, three of the residents who had existing TB on January 1st died from their disease. The study ended on December 31, 2018. Assume that once a person gets TB, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up.
What was the prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st?

Answer:  5%

Explanation:

The Prevalence rate is the term used to describe the percentage of a population that have contacted the disease being tested for. It is usually done over a certain period or a certain time.

The prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st therefore is;

= Number of infected/ No. of Tested residents

= 10/200

= 5%

Microtubules and microfilaments are elongated structures that cross the cell, giving support to the cell, and carries organelles
Ierofanga [76]

Answer: Their supporting structure would be most likely the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM of the multicellular organisms.

Explanation:

The musculoskeletal system found in multicellular organisms are made up of structures which provides support, protection and allows for various movements. These structures include:

--> Muscles

--> Cartilage

--> Ligaments

--> Tendons and

--> Joints

Furthermore, Microtubules and microfilaments are the major components of cytoskeleton. They are the structures that gives a cell it's shape and helps organise it's parts. As described in the question, they are elongated structures that cross the cell, giving SUPPORT to the cell, and carries organelles and objects throughout the cell.

Therefore, since the Microfilaments and Microtubules provides support and shape at the cellular level it can be most likened to the musculoskeletal system of multicellular organisms which performs the same functions.

A mutant strain of yeast is able to produce 2 ATP for each glucose molecule digested in the absence of oxygen. What makes this s
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normally, under anaerobic condition in yeast, pyruvate produced from glycolysis leads to the production of ethanol as shown below.

pyruvate ⇒ acetaldehyde + NADH ⇒ ethanol + NAD

The pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde by the enzyme, pyruvate decarboxylase. It should be NOTED that carbon dioxide is released in this step. The acetaldehyde produced in the "first step" is then converted to ethanol by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. It must be noted from the above that the steps are irreversible.

If a mutated strain of yeast is unique because it does not produce alcohol and lactic acid (which is referred to as toxic acid in the question); thus having a high level of pyruvate because of the presence of a novel enzyme.   <u>The function of this novel enzyme will most likely be the conversion of acetaldehyde in the presence of carbondioxide back to pyruvate; thus making that step reversible</u>. This could be a possible explanation for the high level of pyruvate present in the yeast.
