The scavenger's immune system is strong enough to fight off bacterial infections before it produces toxins and damages tissues. Thus, option "A" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer briefly?</h3>

Animals that feed on meat might have an immune system adapted to it and strong enough to prevent bacterial infections before it produces toxins and damages tissues.

Some of these animals (beetles) spray the rotting meat with an antimicrobial substance produced by their own organism, before starting to eat.

Other animals, however, consume rotten meat and attack bacteria with stomach acid that is ten times more acidic than our stomach acid, which can eliminate a large part of bacteria, before they cause problems. However, some bacteria can survive and cause serious problems if we eat these animals.

Thus, option "A" is correct.

According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which of the following is true of children in the concrete operational st
Anika [276]

Answer:

A. They center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame.

Explanation:

The Concrete Operational Stage, according to Piaget, refers to a stage that begins around age 7 and ends around the ages of 11 or 13.

During this stage, children are now capable of thinking in a more logical manner and their moral judgement has become subjective as <u>they now center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame</u>. For instance, they are able to judge another child according to the amount of damage she/he has done and whether it was done in purpose or accidentally.

They can also center on two dimensions of a problem at once and have thoughts that involve tangible objects instead of abstract ideas.

Complex sugars are called _____. A) monosaccharides B) disaccharides C) polysaccharides
Brums [2.3K]
Complex sugars are called polysaccharides. The correct answer is C. The Latin prefix poly- means many, so the entire name of this saccharide means that there are many atoms of sugar in it, which makes it a complex sugar. Di- in disaccharide means 2, and mono- in monosaccharide means 1, neither of which is complex.
