The mucinous glycoprotein covering teeth that streptococci attach to is called the gingiva

Features of Streptococcus species

Streptococcus species cause endocarditis and reach the bloodstream mainly from the mouth due to dental procedures like tooth extraction.

Some of these species are;

<em>Streptococcus</em> <em>sanguinis</em>

<em>Streptococcus</em> <em>oralis</em>

<em>Streptococcus</em> <em>gordonii</em>

Gingiva is a tissue covering the upper and lower jaws at the base of the teeth. Streptococcus gingivitis is known to be an acute inflammation of the oral mucosa.

Therefore, the mucinous glycoprotein covering teeth that streptococci attach to is called the gingiva

Can you guys please help me I have a test tomorrow
shtirl [24]

Answer:

11. b.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis stores energy in carbohydrates, cellular respiration releases energy from carbohydrates.

Glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, is a carbohydrate.

Write out the equations:

<u>Photosynthesis</u>

carbon dioxide + water + light energy => oxygen + glucose/sugar

CO₂ + H₂O + light => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

The carbohydrate is stored in the plant until it needs it, like to perform cellular respiration.

<u>Cellular Respiration</u>

oxygen + glucose/sugar => carbon dioxide + water + ATP energy

O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ => CO₂ + H₂O + ATP

The carbohydrate is used to make energy. Energy is released from carbohydrates.

Glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆, is a carbohydrate.

Fault in other options:

a. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration both occur in plants. Plants have mitochondria for cellular respiration.

c. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide.

d. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, cellular respiration uses oxygen.

What type of nosocomial infection is likely to arise from intravenous catheterization?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Bacteremia

Explanation:

Nosocomial infection is a hospital-acquired infection. Intravenous catheterization is majorly used in hospitals for therapeutic purposes like drug administration, blood sampling, etc.  

These catheters are one of the major causes of nosocomial bacteremia in patients. Bacteremia is the condition in which bacteria is present in the blood.

So these catheter can be contaminated with bacteria which came from a patient and when they are used in another patient without proper sterilization they can transfer these bacteria to other patients blood which then cause nosocomial bacteremia.
