Answer to Question 1

e

Answer to Question 2

The proton-proton chain occurs at temperatures over 4 million Kelvin, and combines hydrogen to make helium.

The CNO cycle, which occurs at temperatures greater than 16 million Kelvin, results in the same product as the proton-proton chain. It is different than the proton-proton chain because carbon-12 begins the cycle and ends the cycle, and includes steps in which protons combine with carbon and nitrogen nuclei.

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.
