Botox is a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When ingested with tainted food, Botox can kill by paralyzing muscles needed for breathing and heartbeat. Physicians inject small quantities of diluted Botox into facial muscles to paralyze them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some people have expressed concern about a trend in which people come together for “Botox parties” at hair salons and other nonmedical settings. What are the risks of getting injections in such a setting?

After looking at the muscle tissue samples under a microscope, a classmate claims that they must come from three different organisms since they look so different. How should you respond to this claim? (a) Yes, her claim is correct. Three must belong to different organisms because all muscle is made form the same kind of cells (b) No, her claim is incorrect. The tissues in our muscles differ depending on the muscle's function, so these could be three different types of muscle in one organism (c) Her claim is somewhat correct. The first muscle sample comes from one type of animal, while the last two are from the same animal, but are two different parts of the same muscle
The medical imaging technology magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used in hospitals and radiology clinics. MRI creates detailed images of the organs and tissues within the body using a powerful magnetic field and radio waves. 1)Even when the MRI machine is not in use, MRI system operators make sure not to bring any metallic objects into the room where the machine is housed. Why? And what happens if a magnet is heated?Elaborate your answer

What is the only statement that correctly identifies the ability of different wavelengths of UV light to penetrate the human skin? Note: UVA is the longest wavelength (least energy), and UVC is the shortest wavelength (most energy). If you've studied the electromagnetic spectrum you may remember that wavelength and energy have an inverse relationship. We'll talk more about this later in the course. Group of answer choices A- UVA light penetrates only as deep as the epidermis, which is where it has its effect B-UVB light penetrates only as deep as the epidermis, which is where it has its effect C-UVC light penetrates only as deep as the epidermis, which is where it has its effect
