Answer:

Streptococcus Pneuomiae

Explanation:

I think that S. Pneumonae would be the most characteristic example of a pathogen with a capsular polysaccharide virulence factor.

This is a gram-positive, catalase-negative, alpha-hemolytic and optochin-sensitive bacterium. It is responsible for a broad spectrum of disease, most importantly community-acquired pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media and meningitis in adults.

Sign and symptoms of an S. Pneumoniae disease can vary, but it commonly includes fever, difficulty breathing, productive cough, headache and, in the case of meningitis, neck rigidity, and diminished alertness.

Interestingly, there are other Streptococcus species (i.e. Streptococcus Viridans) that share some of S. Pneumoniae characteristics and is clinically relevant (can cause heart inflammation, also known as endocarditis, in patients with prosthetic heart valves), but lacks the polysaccharide capsule, effectively making this organism a much less virulent one.

Charra [1.4K]

The pelagic zone is where plankton can be found most frequently.

Plankton is chlorophyll-containing photosynthesizing plants that make their own sustenance from carbon dioxide and sunlight.

They are autotrophic aquatic plants. Their roots have a good aquatic life adaptation.

Thus, the pelagic zone is where plankton is most frequently found.

Most of the enzymes used as molecular scissors are known as restriction enzymes. What is the reason for this name?
kicyunya [14]
Because when you put a part of the DNA and take it out, you can restrict an ability of that cell. When you cut out a piece of DNA from a pancreas beta cell that codes for insulin synthesis, you restrict the cells ability to make insulin, hence the name "restriction enzyme". I hope this is the answer that you are looking for and it comes to your help.
