Question

I'm Stuck!!!!

Answer 1

Christiaan Eijkman shared the Nobel Prize in 1929 for the discovery of vitamins. Eijkman went to Java to isolate the pathogen causing beriberi, an illness that appeared to be contagious as it was common in prisons and among ship crews. Eijkman noticed that chickens fed a diet of white rice also suffered from a similar disorder. When the chickens were fed a diet of red rice, the chickens quickly recovered. What can Eijkman safely infer at this point from his observations?

Humans with symptoms similar to those of chickens should change their diet.

White rice contains little nutritional value for humans and chickens.

Beriberi is most certainly not a pathogen.

Diet may be the cause of beriberi, but more research is needed.

Answer 20

He wanted to make sure you were not cheating and actually paying attention.

Answer 21

He asked me what my answer was and i said D right before you even answered lmao

Answer 22

Notice how when he said it was C, you automatically agreed with him, rather than staying with the obvious correct answer, D.

Answer 23

For a fact:
White rice or polished rice lacks vitamin \(\sf B_1\) which is the major cause of Beriberi

Answer 26

I only eat brown rice tbh, It is much more nutritious.

Answer 27

I'd like to point out that because the question/answer is worded oddly, C is also true.
...to isolate the pathogen \(\sf causing\) beriberi...

Answer 28

Yes but I think with more research we can really be sure. You are not wrong, but D makes the most sense.

Answer 29

okay look i come on here for people to help me answer my questions i suggest my answer that i came up with and if he tells me its a different answer then i agree! i said D so end of story

Answer 30

@agreene u can say this because u know now for afact that beriberi does not have a pathogen. But when it was unknown, in its initial stages it was not that easy to say it. Read the lines

an illness that `appeared to be contagious` as it was common in prisons and among ship crews.
