- Discrimination against people with disabilities is not a new issue. According to Purdie (2009), people with disabilities have suffered from discrimination throughout the ages and it still persists today. The truth remains though they are perceived differently, treated differently and struggle to attain the acceptance enjoyed by the great majority of their non-disabled peers. Based on the statement above, identify professional development for disabled employee in Malaysia after the pandemic COVID-19. Strengthen your answer with relevant example.arrow_forwardWould it be possible to start synthesizing the daughter DNA strand without assembling the RNA primer first? Why?

- In the past, salmon would swim more than 1130 km (700 mi) to spawn at the headwaters of the Salmon River in central Idaho. The trip took about 22 days, and the fish consumed energy at a rate of 2.0 W for each kilogram of body mass. About 80% of this energy is released by burning fat and the other 20% by burning protein. How many grams of fat are burned? One gram of fat releases 3.8×10^4J of energy. If the salmon is about 15% fat at the beginning of the trip, how many grams of fat does it have at the end of the trip?arrow_forward45. Insects do not have lungs as we do, nor do they breathe through their mouths. Instead, they have a system of tiny tubes, called tra- cheae, through which oxygen diffuses into their bodies. The tracheae begin at the surface of an insect's body and penetrate into the interior. Suppose that a trachea is 1.9 mm long with a cross-sectional area of 2.1 × 10-º m². The concentration of oxygen in the air outside the insect is 0.28 kg/m², and the diffusion constant is 1.1 × 10-5 m²/s. If the mass per second of oxygen diffusing through a trachea is 1.7 X 10-12 kg/s, find the oxygen concentra- tion at the interior end of the tube.arrow_forwardIn the 1930s, the biologist Max Kleiber studied animals' metabolic rates. He 3 4 1 expressed the ratio of the rates for two animals by the relation where "1 %3D m1 and 2 are the animals' metabolic rates and m1 and m2 are the animals' masses. a) Compare the metabolic rates of a 70-kg man and a 15-kg dog. b) Compare the metabolic rates of a 5-kg cat with that of a 50-g mouse. c) Compare the metabolic rates of a 10-g hummingbird and a 5000-kg elephant.arrow_forward
