A mysterious disease has struck 15 horses at a farm with 100 horses. Doctors at the animal hospital test the blood of five of the sick horses and find that four of them show a type of bacteria never seen before. Answer the following:
a. Based on this information, suggest a reasonable hypothesis for the cause of the disease.
b. Suggest one experiment you could do to provide evidence for or against your hypothesis.

The response I would give:

a. This new bacteria most likely caused this 'mysterious' disease, as both are unprecedented.

b. Test 5 more horses, and see whether they also carry this same new bacteria.

I'm sure there are more effective tests, like maybe grow the bacteria in a lab and test it on other creatures, but the question of animal cruelty then arises.

1i. Changed into smaller molecules that can be absorbed into body fluids and transported to cells throughout the body.

2ii. Fat molecule, such as a triglyceride, consists of two main components—glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is an organic compound with three carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, and three hydroxyl (–OH) groups.

3 iii. They form bonds together - to make MOLECULES. For example, two atoms of hydrogen hook together to form a molecule of hydrogen, H2 for short.

4iv. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements. ... There are two main types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together: covalent and ionic/electrovalent bonds. Atoms that share electrons in a chemical bond have covalent bonds. An oxygen molecule (O2) is a good example of a molecule with a covalent bond.

5V. Beginning with energy sources obtained from their environment in the form of sunlight and organic food molecules, eukaryotic cells make energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADH via energy pathways including photosynthesis, glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
