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%

A postsynaptic potential is a graded potential that is the result of a neurotransmitter released into the synapse between two ne
Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell has a signal sequence that targets it to the plasma membrane
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A protein that is destined to be secreted from the cell:

- is targeted to the RER as a soluble protein.

Explanation:

The main function of the RER is the synthesis and transport of secretion or membrane proteins.

If you are looking for the RER you could fount it on eukaryotic cells, side by side of the nucleus, and cover in ribosomes.

Explain how the chemical structure of the carbon atom accounts for the differences between the male and female lions seen in the
True [87]

Answer:

in male lion, two methyl groups are present in its structure  while in female lion, two hydroxl groups are present in its structure

Explanation:

The chemical structure of the carbon atom is different in both male and female lion because both male and female lions have different sex harmones which are totally different from one another. In male lion, testosterone is a sex hormone whose chemical formula is C19H28O2 and two methyl groups and one hydroxl group are present in its structure while in female lion, oestradiol is a sex hormone having a chemical formula C18H24O2  and two hydroxyl groups are present.
