“LOCKJAW” | | Cong Le | 12/3/2012 | Abstract: Tetanus is a severe infection causes by Clostridium tetani‚ a spore-forming anaerobic bacterium. This disease affects many people in the developing-countries where the immunization is not really available. On the other hand‚ tetanus is very rare condition in developed countries like America. Clostridium tetani has all the characteristics of the Clostridium genus. After entering the human wounds‚ this organism secreted two kinds of potent biological

Some common biological agents that are heard in the news and also used in warfare include Anthrax‚ Cholera‚ Clostridium Perfringeus Toxin‚ Meliodosis idosis‚ and Staphylococcal. Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) develops when a bacterial organism from infected animal tissues becomes deposited under

1 Diffusion is the movement of molecules (or ions) from a high concentration to low concentration. Diffusion is form of passive transport as energy does not need to be generated. Diffusion is complete when the concentration of molecules is equal on either side of the membrane. Diffusion rate can be influenced by many factors such as: Concentration gradient across the the membrane. Permeability of the membrane to the diffusing substance. Temperature. Surface area of the membrane. Question 2 2.1
