Answer 6

Not helping

Answer 7

okaii:

the germ theory of disease:
-germs
-disease

the science of immunology:
-immunology
-the branch of science dealing with the components of the immune system, immunity from disease, the immune response, and immunologic techniques of analysis.

Answer 8

do you see any type of connections?

Answer 9

I put that they both do something to the body that affects it in some way

Answer 10

it's microbiology vs immunology
the relationship is that they're both involving disease.
microbiology (in this case pathogenic micro organisms (germs)) are causing the disease and immunology (the immune system) is killing this disease.

Answer 11

@thomaster that is the type of connection i wanted @Firejay5 to notice.

Answer 12

It's how people explain things, if you don't explain it to me in a way that answer the questions like: "the relationship is that they're both involving disease." I won't notice it that well

Answer 13

well i did put like hints and clues, you might say under each of the topics. If you read them, you would notice that they are both correlated to disease. and then from there you might have noticed the immune and the disease connection.

Answer 14

I would't say that @some_someone is wrong in this case. the point of this site is that we help eachother with explaining things like giving hints like he did.

Answer 15

I need hints unless a website isn't full of information

Answer 16

meaning just to the points

Answer 17

yes @thomaster :) i agree. This is a site to help, mentor, and explain things to others who need help. We guide them through, and if they have further questions, then they are welcomed to ask. But this site is to help and explain not just give out straight out answers without letting the user think a little. also, @Firejay5 well i gave you a link so that you could read through it and learn more about it so you could answer the question.

Answer 18

I agree with what you said, but giving boredom sites makes it harder for me to answer the question, and I have a Biology EOC in a few days, so I prefer the answer, so I can study off of that, so I can pass?

Answer 19

yes i agree, sometimes a simple explanation is better. and if i caused any problems to you or whatsoever, I am sorry if i made it more complicated.

Answer 20

it made it a little complicated, I don't always want the answer, sometimes I want an explanation, but trying to let a person solve it is good, but some times explaining thing are even better
