Sequence the steps in the process of how prions might be transmitted from cattle to humans

Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is - through infected beef.

Explanation: Prions are the type of proteins that are misformed and can infect other proteins and transmit misfold or misform to normal proteins. These proteins can infect humans and animals like a cow.

In humans CJD and in cows it is known as mad cow disease. Abnormal prions are present in the infected animal's brain and spinal cord tissues. This can infect a normal tissue by getting a touch in the infected brain tissue during butchering and can contaminate the beef with prions and transmitted to humans who eat that infected beef.

Thus, the correct answer is - through infected beef.

Prion disease is a protein that can affect the brains protein. People can get it through family history or its passed on through the genes, those who ate a cow infected by mud cow disease and infections from medical equipment.  I hoped this helped.

If you increase the number of water molecules in the extracellular fluid, will the membrane move to the right or the left in the
Igoryamba

Answer:

The membrane will move to the left in view of the applied pressure.

Explanation:

The scenario described can be perfectly illustrated through understanding the concept of osmosis.

Osmosis can be defined as the movement of particules or molecules in a solvent from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration, through a semi permeable membrane.

To put differently, the movement of water molecules is from a region of lower osmotic pressure to a higher one. And for osmosis to be achieved and water molecules evenly distributed, pressure built must be slow and steady to a state of high or equilibrium.

This often results to movement of membrane to the left as a response to the osmosis phenomenon. Increasing the number of water molecules in the extra cellular fluid will thus accelerate this process, increase the pressure built up, and thus generate ripples from a lower area to a higher one. Osmosis is thus gradual and steady.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Molecular Biology
This field of study deals with everything related to macromolecules, thus, what you will need for molecular biology would be something you could get proteins and nucleic acids from. Among the choices, the DNA of a pig and a calf would be the most helpful.

Comparative Anatomy
Comparative anatomy is a field of study that focuses on any similarities or differences between the anatomy or structure of different animals or species in general. Among the options, having the limb structure of a pig and a calf would allow you to practice the field since you have a structure to compare.

Developmental Biology
In this field, your concern would be how species grow and develop. For you to properly observe the growth and development, you must have the embryo of a pig and a calf. Therefore, among the options, this is the correct piece of evidence for this field.

IN SUMMARY:
Molecular Biology - Both DNA of a pig and a calf
Comparative Anatomy - Both limb structure of a pig and a calf
Developmental Biology - Embryo of a pig and a calf
