Answer:
4. The suspected causative agent must be isolated from the diseased host and grown in pure culture
Explanation:
Robert Koch (1843-1910) was one of the most important bacteriologists of all time. Famous for discovering the tuberculosis bacillus (precisely on March 24, such as today, in 1882), he also discovered the cholera bacillus and is considered the founder of bacteriology. He worked on the isolation of infectious agents and reinfections from pure cultures, experiences from which he established the "Koch Postulates".
These postulates have been taken as a reference that describes the etiology of all the causative agents of an infectious disease, although they were originally used to describe only the tuberculosis bacillus. They are the following:
1- The agent must be present in each case of the disease and absent in the healthy.
2- The agent should not appear in other diseases.
3- The agent must be isolated in a pure culture from the lesions of the disease.
4- The agent has to cause the disease in an animal that can be inoculated
<span>D is the correct answer. Coral reefs need sunlight to grow, so they grow best in shallow water (up to 50m deep) as this means sunlight can reach them. They require salt water to grow and warm temperatures of 20 - 32 degrees Celsius.</span>
Answer: The answer I got was Penicillin!
Explanation:
I know that marine biotechnology has came out with other antibiotics including squalamine and cephalosporin. This is an educated guess but based on the other answer choices Penicillin sounds more reasonable!!
Biology overlaps with chemistry in studying the structure and functions of activities at the molecular level. The principles of chemistry are useful in cell biology because all living cells consist of chemicals and various chemical processes take place in many living organisms.
