The answer is as follows:

  1. Reservoir: sites where microbes can persist and maintain their ability to infect
  2. Portal of entry: sites where a microbe can enter human body tissues
  3. Mode of transmission: how a microbe is transmitted from a reservoir to a portal of entry

Explanation:

  • Reservoir refers to the habitat in which the microbe normally lives, grows, and multiplies. This can include humans, animals, and the environment.
  • Portal of entry is the site through which the microbe enters the host's body. Common portals of entry include the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urogenital tract, and breaks in the skin.
  • Mode of transmission describes the mechanism by which the microbe moves from the reservoir to the host. This can include direct contact, airborne transmission, vector-borne transmission, and more.

In summary, these terms are crucial for understanding how diseases spread and how infections can be prevented and controlled.

Delta G - Delta G^circ = Delta G^circ + R T ln Q - Delta G^circ This results in: (Delta G - Delta G^circ) = R T ln Q Step Two Multiply both sides of the equation by the same expression: times(Delta G - Delta G^circ) = times R T ln Q Drag and drop your selection from the following list to complete the answer: -RT, 1/(RT) RT, -1/(RT)
