Botulism can easily be prevented by boiling food prior to consumption.

<h3>What is Botulism?</h3>

Botulism may be defined as an imperative food poisoning that is provoked by botulinum toxin delivered in food by a bacterial species clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum inhibits the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction and causes defects in sensory perception through the central nervous system.

It can only be prevented by taking the proper boiled food prior to consumption.

The complete question is as follows:

  • boiling food prior to consumption.
  • administering antibiotics to patients.
  • not eating canned food.
  • filtering food.
  • preventing fecal contamination of food.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A, i.e. boiling food prior to consumption.

Which clade is composed of eukaryotes which are multicellular and heterotrophs?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Animal clade

Explanation:

<em>A clade is used to refer to all members of group of organisms that share the same ancestor.</em>

Animals are the only group of living organisms that are eukaryotic, multicellular as well as heterotrophic in nature.

They are eukaryotic because their cells have nucleus and membrane-bound organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast.

They are multicellular because their bodies are made up of more than one cells. The simplest animal (sponge) is made up of several cells while the most complex animal (human) is made up of millions of cells.

Animals are heterotrophs because they lack the capacity to manufacture their own food. They depend on external source for their food. Particular, animals ingest their foods, digest it internally and egest undigested food/waste materials.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
vovangra [49]
1. The correct answer is; are body cells is going to shrink. <span>Salty seawater is a hyperosmotic solution, meaning that it has more solutes than the cell inside. The water will move (from the cell) via osmosis in order for the solutions to reach equilibrium. Also, salty solution exerts more pressure on the of the cell, so the cell will shrink.</span>
<span>
2. The correct answer cells in the fish will stay the same size. This will occur because both solutions, freshwater lake and river have similar (or equal) solute concentrations. Those solutions are called isosmotic. There is no movement of water or the solutes, so the cell stays the same.</span>

3. The correct answer is to swell. <span>This will happen because sea star egg has the same solute concentration as its first environment-ocean meaning that this solution is hyperosmotic comparing to the lake (ocean is saltier than the lake, it has more solutes). When you put the sea star egg in the lake, the water from the lake will move (via osmosis) into the egg, to reach equilibrium. Water will cause the cell to swell.</span>
