There are 2 ways that the fomites can be transmitted. These include direct and indirect transmission. Direct transmission occurs when there is physical contact between an infected person and a susceptible person. Indirect contact transmission occurs when there is no direct human-to-human contact. Contact occurs from a reservoir to contaminated surfaces or objects‚ or to vectors such as insects or animals. Direct contact infections spread when microorganisms pass from the infected person to the healthy

Light Transmission Through Liquids With Different Viscosities Introduction Aim This experiment investigates the effects of different liquid viscosities on light transmission. The results of this experiment could greatly benefit marine biologists or other marine scientists. This would help them figure out how their flashlights would work in different water conditions in the ocean. Background Research Spectrophotometers are devices that measure the amount of light absorbed by a certain liquid

Transport of vesicles facilitated by kinesin and the effects of mutations in nerve transmission in Caenorhabditis elegans Introduction A nerve cell is made up of three main structures: the soma‚ the axon and the synapse. When a nerve cell receives a signal‚ a protein called kinesin travels anterograde along the axon and guides the synaptic vesicles until it reaches the synapse. This triggers the release of the neurotransmitters stored within the vesicles. Once released‚ the neurotransmitters then

Experiment 1 Cyanobacteria Oxygen Production Through Photosynthesis Date Performed: September 2‚ 2014 I. Introduction a. Background Cyanobacteria or blue green algae are renowned for their tolerability and susceptibility even in wide range of environmental conditions‚ a characteristic of many primitive organisms. CNB are believed to be the agents of autotrophic origin of life thus they probably represent the survivors of the earliest photosynthetic plants‚ along with photosynthetic and chemosynthetic

An Experiment of Adaptation Introduction: Throughout history of time‚ organisms change in relation to their environment‚ consequently‚ adaptation is an essential property of life. This experiment is designed to test the adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster. This kind of insect is also called fruit flies‚ it has been widely used in scientific research because it has a short life cycle about two weeks and it is easy to keep large numbers of them (Manning). Two groups of this species will be used
