6 0

Answer:

There are prion-like particles in the brain normally, and when these become abnormal they can cause disease. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prions are proteins which can trigger normal proteins to fold abnormally, and they are present in the brain. They are causing many types of neurodegenerative diseases in both humans and animals. Which are known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.

Prions can enter the brain with the help of infection, also can arise from the gene mutation that encodes the proteins, and sometimes this affects humans by infected meat.

If a person infected from prion disease, it affects central nervous system tissues like brain, eye tissues and spinal cord.

sammy [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.  

An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.  

All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.
