Clostridium perfringens is primarily transmitted through contaminated food, leading to food poisoning.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is primarily transmitted through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Smallpox is primarily transmitted through direct contact with the lesions of an infected person.

The common cold is primarily transmitted through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

Lactic acid is the main product of lactic acid fermentation, which occurs in certain bacteria and muscle cells.

Casein constitutes about 80% of the protein in cow's milk, while whey makes up the remaining 20%.

The main purpose of cellular respiration is to convert glucose into ATP, which is usable energy for cells.

Root hairs increase the surface area of roots, enhancing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Feedback mechanisms, such as negative feedback, help maintain stability in the body's internal environment.

The G1 checkpoint assesses cell size and nutrient availability before allowing the cell to proceed to DNA synthesis.

The pentose phosphate pathway primarily generates NADPH for biosynthetic reactions.

Algae serve as primary producers, converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.

The stem primarily functions to transport nutrients and water between roots and leaves.

Cutaneous anthrax is primarily transmitted through direct contact with contaminated materials.

Unpasteurized dairy products are a significant source of Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious illness.

Glycogen is the main storage form of carbohydrates in the body.

Entamoeba histolytica primarily causes diarrhea, often with blood and mucus.

The cucumber mosaic virus causes characteristic mosaic patterns on the leaves of infected plants.

Rabies virus primarily targets neurons, leading to neurological symptoms.

ACE inhibitors are primarily used to treat hypertension by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.

The main treatment for cholera is the administration of intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration.

The Hepatitis B vaccine is the main vaccine available for preventing hepatitis B infection.

The Zika virus is primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes.

The Aedes mosquito, particularly Aedes aegypti, is the primary vector for the Zika virus.

Fluoroquinolones inhibit DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA replication.

Penicillin works by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, leading to bacterial lysis.

SSRIs work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain, increasing its availability in the synaptic cleft.

SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) work by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin in the brain.

Tetracyclines inhibit protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit.

Grapefruit juice inhibits CYP3A4, which is responsible for the metabolism of many statins, leading to increased statin levels and risk of side effects.
