Plague is caused by Yersinia pestis. It is unicellular and placed in the bacteria domain.
Explanation:
Plague is caused by bacteria Yersinia pestis , a zoonotic bacteria usually found in the small mammals and their fleas. It is a gram-negative, nonmotile, rod-shaped, coccobacillus bacteria, with no spores. It is a facultative anaerobic organism that can infect humans via the Oriental rat flea.Y. pestis was discovered in 1894 by Alexandre Yersin, a Swiss/French physician and bacteriologist from the Pasteur Institute, during an epidemic of the plague in Hong Kong. Yersin was a member of the Pasteur school of thought. Kitasato Shibasaburō, a German-trained Japanese bacteriologist who practised Koch's methodology, was also engaged at the time in finding the causative agent of the plague. However, Yersin actually linked plague with Y. pestis. named Pasteurella pestis in the past, the organism was renamed Yersinia pestis in 1944.
The coral reef is experiencing succession, so over time the coral will continue to die off gradually as the zooxanthellae algae leaves the coral polyps.
The avian
kidneys are divided into units called lobules and as the two avian kidneys of
birds do their work or function, most of these birds excrete nitrogenous waste
known as uric acid from the blood, which reduces water loss but requires more
metabolic energy to produce nitrogenous waste.
