Biology Questions

AIDS: The term means Acquired Immunity Deficiency Synodrome. The virus attacks the T cells of the (white corpuscle type) blood and destroys them.

In all plants and animal cells chromosomes are located in the Nucleus of the cells.

The Chromosomes are thread like structures present in the nucleus of the cells which are made up of proteins and a single molecule of DNA.

Their function is to carry the characteristic features of parent cells to daughter cells. 

The Bacteria that causes Food Borne illness are called Food Borne Pathogens. Most of the pathogens are mesophilic in nature, optimum temperature may be around 20-45 degree celsius. This range of temperatures is often called the "Danger Zone." Dry foods do not support the growth of bacteria.

In order to kill pathogenic bacteria you need temperatures above 74ºC. Temperature is the easiest factor to control in order to prevent bacterial growth.

A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.

Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.

Tertiary consumers often occupy the top trophic level, and so are predated by no other animals; in this case they are called "apex predators". However, when they die their bodies will be consumed by scavengers and decomposers.

Electrons are stripped from water in the light reactions of photosynthesis. Light provides the energy to excite electrons.

ATP and NADPH are both products of the light reactions and are used to power the Calvin cycle.

High frequency sound attacks the tympanic memberane and makes it defective. 120 decibles is too high a pitch to be heard and therefore it impairs the hearing ability.
