Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

When a main sequence star becomes a red giant, the outer layers are loosely held by gravity. This allows the star to lose significant amounts of mass through a strong stellar wind. This mass loss is increased during helium shell burning, when unstable conditions can cause the core energy generation to flare.The mass loss creates an expanding shell or shells of hydrogen gas moving away from the star. If the object left in the center of the expanding shell is hot enough, the gas will become ionized and glow with hydrogen emission forming a planetary nebula.After the outer layers of the star are ejected, the remaining core is not hot enough to sustain fusion. It contracts, becoming a small, hot object known as a white dwarf.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
