Answer to Question 1

2
Change in bowel habits is one of the seven danger signals for cancer. Changes in bowel habits and blood in the stool are common signs of colorectal cancer. Vomiting, decreased appetite, or recent blood infection could be symptoms of other health problems, but they are not necessarily colorectal cancer.

Answer to Question 2

4
An immunogen is any molecule that elicits an immune response. An antigen is any molecule that can bind with a specific antibody. An antigen that does not elicit an immune response by itself is called a hapten. An epitope is the reaction portion of an antigen.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

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.
