Staphylococcus aureus, or staph, is a bacteria that is commonly found in the nose and on the skin of humans. While it is typical

ly not harmful to humans, it is sometimes able to enter the body through an injury or broken skin, and get into the bloodstream. When this happens, it can cause a serious infection called sepsis. Sepsis can cause an individual to go into shock and bodily organs to stop functioning. Symptoms of sepsis include inflammation, fever or hypothermia, increased heart rate, and rapid breathing.

The complement system will work first in the given scenario of Staphylococcus aureus infection, i.e., option A.

<h3>What is a complement system?</h3>

The complement system, also known as the complement cascade, is an immune system component that improves (complements) antibodies' and phagocytic cells' ability to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism, promote inflammation, and attack the pathogen's cell membrane.

In the given scenario, when Staphylococcus aureus enter the body through an injury or broken skin, and get into the bloodstream then the complement system initiate the phagocytosis.

Thus, the correct option is A.

what is the most common way that nitrogen fixation occurs? lightning nitrogen fixing bacteria fossil fuel combustion forest fire
RSB [31]

Legumes harbor nitrogen-fixing bacteria and are therefore good crops to grow to replenish the soil. Most nitrogen fixation occurs naturally, in the soil, by bacteria.

Nitrogen fixation and exchange of form that occurs in the soil. Some bacteria attach to plant roots and have a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial to both the plant and the bacteria with the plant. Nitrogen fixing bacteria accomplish more than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation and therefore play an important role in the nitrogen cycle. processes that can fix nitrogen atmospheric, be process and biological. Atmospheric fixation occurs when the high temperature of lightning splits nitrogen gas so that it unites with oxygen and moisture in the air to form nitrates that fall to the ground. Nitrogen fixation occurs among some termites and fungi. It occurs naturally in the air through the production of NOx by lightning. All biological reactions that involve the process of nitrogen fixation are catalyzed by enzymes called nitrogenases.
