Please answer correctly the following question related to the paragraph below. Would patient A's immune system be stronger or weaker than patient B's immune system? Mike is a physician who treats HIV-infected patients. Today, he is seeing two patients, patient A and patient B. Patient A is infected with HIV, but patient B is not infected with HIV. Mike is trying to figure out how HIV-infected patient is different from the patient who is not infected with HIV. Hint: As time passes, the number of HIV copies keeps increasing, while the number of helper T cells keeps decreasing. The graph in Figure below shows how the number of T cells typically declines over a period of many years following the initial HIV infection. As the number of T cells decreases, so does the ability of the immune system to defend the body. As a result, an HIV-infected person develops frequent infections. Medicines can slow down the virus but not get rid of it, so there is no cure at present for HIV infections or AIDS. There also is no vaccine to immunize people against HIV infection, but scientists are working to develop one.
Ans: weaker

Please answer correctly the following question related to the paragraph below. Which chemical mixture, batch A or batch B, create the polymer faster? Two scientists, Cathy and Mark, are working on a new project. They want to make a new polymer using two chemicals. Mark mixes the two chemicals together calling it batch A. After a week of waiting he has managed to create a new polymer. While he is happy about the result but he feels a week is way to long. Cathy has an idea. She decides to try adding an enzyme to the chemical mixture, calling this batch B, The mixture only takes seconds to form the new polymer and the enzyme she used is in tact floating on top of the now completed polymer. She decides to test even further and uses the left over enzyme on another batch of chemicals. The reaction occurs in seconds again and the same amount of enzyme is left floating on top of the polymer for her to use again in the next batch. Hint: Enzymes increase the rate of chemical reactions by reducing the amount of activation energy needed for reactants to start reacting. One way this can happen is modeled in the Figure below . Enzymes aren't changed or used up in the reactions they catalyze, so they can be used to speed up the same reaction over and over again. Each enzyme is highly specific for the particular reaction is catalyzes, so enzymes are very effective. A reaction that would take many years to occur without its enzyme might occur in a split second with the enzyme. Enzymes are also very efficient, so waste products rarely form.
Ans: batch B

Please answer correctly the following question related to the paragraph below. Which patient was not at risk of developing body-cavity lymphoma? Two patients were hospitalized for different diseases. Barry was diagnosed with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus, while Daniel was diagnosed with EpsteinBarr virus infection. Hint: Hepatitis viruses can develop into a chronic viral infection that leads to liver cancer. Infection by human T-lymphotropic virus can lead to tropical spastic paraparesis and adult T-cell leukaemia. Human papillomaviruses are an established cause of cancers of cervix, skin, anus, and penis. Within the Herpesviridae, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus causes Kaposi's sarcoma and body-cavity lymphoma, and EpsteinBarr virus causes Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, B lymphoproliferative disorder, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Merkel cell polyomavirus closely related to SV40 and mouse polyomaviruses that have been used as animal models for cancer viruses for over 50 years.
Ans: Daniel

Please answer correctly the following question related to the paragraph below. Which person's body has more lactic acid? Mark and Jerry are brothers. Mark just got done working out and returned home to find his brother laying down on the couch eating a bag of potato chips. Mark comments that Jerry should really come and work out with him some time. Jerry brushes him aside. Hint: Animals and some bacteria and fungi carry out lactic acid fermentation. Lactic acid is a waste product of this process. Our muscles perform lactic acid fermentation during strenuous exercise, since oxygen cannot be delivered to the muscles quickly enough. The buildup of lactic acid is believed to make your muscles sore after exercise. Bacteria that produce lactic acid are used to make cheese and yogurt. The lactic acid causes the proteins in milk to thicken. Lactic acid also causes tooth decay, because bacteria use the sugars in your mouth for energy.
Ans: Mark
