In early spring, a 45-year-old farmer from New Mexico arrived at the Emergency Room, struggling to breathe. He reported no history of chronic pulmonary disease and the ER ruled out malignant causes of his condition. His blood tests showed neutrophilic leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia. He reported feeling extremely fatigued the last few days, coupled with muscle aches and a fever. In particular his thighs, hips, and back had been aching. In addition, he was experiencing headaches, dizziness, and vomiting. He had not traveled anywhere recently and reported no changes to his diet. The only abnormal activity he reported in the last six weeks was cleaning out his old barn to get ready for the spring. 1. What did this patient have?
2. Describe the microbe that causes this infection (cellular structure and features, it’s reservoir, etc.)
3. How do you think he became infected, and is he contagious to others?

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.

The ancestors of plants that lived in water had plenty of water for the young. angiosperms are a group of land plants that evolved a reproductive trait for living on land. this trait protect young plants by allowing them to grow only when water is present and the conditions for healthy development are right. what trait most likely young angiosperms in this way?

Group control group #1 experimental group yes yes yes control group #2 no new drug orange juice bed rest no yes no yes ves which of the following is the best explanation of why a second control group was included in this experiment? o a. to provide the volunteers in the study with something to drink o b. to prove that the common cold cannot be cured c. to confuse anyone who is trying to steal their new drug and sell it as their own invention o d. to researchers conclude that results are related to the new drug and not to the orange juice submit e previous
