Question

Bing Kapln: Electonth Part I 1. Create a hypothesis to guide your experiment in determining if the patient's pneumonia has been caused by a fungus, a virus, or a bacterium. You may only choose one of the three. Your hypothesis should be in an 'if-then' fomat, and should make a logical prediction of the type of microbe that caused the disease. For information on Hypothesis design, review the following video, and/or visit the KU Science Center http//content.screencast.com/users/AbbeBreiter/folders/Default/media/9ddfc781-b3a2-4661-b523-2b707c371dfe/Desig ning%20Hypothesis.mp4 2. Lab protocol requires examination of a sputum sample from an uninfected person to be used as a control. What is the purpose of a control sample in an experiment? 3. In the first question you constructed a hypothesis with an independent variable that can be controlled by the experimenter such as the staining or fixation process to prepare the sample slides. Now you need to discuss the observable results or the dependent variable. What would you expect to see on the slide based on your prediction? What would the causative microbe cells look like under a microscope? For example, would you see a nucleus in the microbial cell? Would it be larger or smaller than the human cells? Part II Write an informative 400-600 word essay about the impac information in your essay t of pneumonia on human health. Include the following

Explanation / Answer

1. An infection which inflammes lungs is termed as Pneumonia. It is caused by viruses whoa re the causative agent for cold and flu. They block the oxygen flow by invading into lungs and making them inflammed.

2. This type of control is termed as Negative control which is a vital part of well-designed scientific experiment. It is the group from which the researcher doesnot expect any response. This group is observed is simply observed in their natural state without any treatment. If at all the test group and the negative control both produce a positive result, it can be concluded that a confounding variable is associated in the experiment, and the positive results are not produced only due to the test group. So, it validates an experiment.

3. The viruses look like spherical cells without nucleus smaller than human cells.

Part II

Pneumonia begins with inflammation of lungs due to bacteria, virus or fungi. They cause inflammation of alveoli and fill them with fluid or pus. Our lungs filters the air we breathe. When our immune system becomes weak and the germs are strong enough, they infect lungs. This results in immune cells fightback response by making lungs inflammed.

Symptoms: High fever, shortness of breath, chills, chest pain, greenish, yellow or bloody mucus, cough, low appetite, fatigue, high sweating

Vulnerability:

Treatment: Before treatment it is vital to diagonise the causative agent of pneumonia. Phlegm from the cough and urine are tested. CT Scans and X-rays also help in the process. Antibiotics and cough medicines are included for treament. Pain relievers or fever reducers also help in the process. Plenty of fluids and lots of rest are also advised in this condition.

Prevention:
