Answer to Question 1

Elliptical galaxies are usually found in rich clusters with many galaxies, and most of the galaxies in these clusters are elliptical. Collisions in a rich cluster will collide and interact often, and this must mean that ellipticals have been through collisions in their lifetimes.Collision s trigger bursts of star formation which consumes gas and dust. Ellipticals do not contain much gas and dust because star formation triggered by collisions and mergers have used up all of the available gas.The random stellar orbits found in ellipticals would not be disrupted through collisions and mergers.Spiral galaxies are found in poor clusters where collisions are rare. The disk of a spiral galaxy would be disrupted and destroyed in a collision with another large galaxy. Spirals contain large amounts of gas and dust that would be used up in a starburst triggered by a collision with another galaxy. Spiral galaxies can not have had collisions with other large galaxies.Interactio ns between spirals and smaller galaxies appear to be important in maintaining structures like spiral arms and bars.

Answer to Question 2

True

Astigmatism is the most common vision problem. It may accompany nearsightedness or farsightedness. It is usually caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, but sometimes it is the result of an irregularly shaped lens. Either type can be corrected by eyeglasses, contact lenses, or refractive surgery.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Hip fractures are the most serious consequences of osteoporosis. The incidence of hip fractures increases with each decade among patients in their 60s to patients in their 90s for both women and men of all populations. Men and women older than 80 years of age show the highest incidence of hip fractures.

Complications of influenza include: bacterial pneumonia, ear and sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic conditions such as asthma, congestive heart failure, or diabetes.

Cutaneous mucormycosis is a rare fungal infection that has been fatal in at least 29% of cases, and in as many as 83% of cases, depending on the patient's health prior to infection. It has occurred often after natural disasters such as tornados, and early treatment is essential.
