Answer:
<em>Propoxur</em>
Explanation:
Propoxur is a well-known carcinogen. Using the EPA's cancer potency calculations and the results from our study, its found that daily lifetime exposure to the levels of propoxur residue found on dogs wearing flea collars could significantly increase the risk of cancer.
A. Antarctic blue whale
B. Herbivores
C. Inland Taipan
D. “The scientific name Asteroidea was given to starfish by the French zoologist de Blainville in 1830. It is derived from the Greek aster, ἀστήρ (a star) and the Greek eidos, εἶδος (form, likeness, appearance). The class Asteroidea belongs to the phylum Echinodermata.”
E. “First, primates have larger eyes than many other mammals of comparable body size (Ross & Kirk, 2007). Having large eyes ensures that a large image is formed on the retina (Walls, 1942; Land & Nilsson, 2002). This large retinal image may then be sampled by many photoreceptors, improving visual resolution. Primates have flexible shoulder joints and and strong clavicles or collar bones that help them use their arms more effectively than other species of animals. Most primate can hold their bodies erect and some species, including humans, can walk on two legs instead of four.”
The significant role of spore formation in the reproductive cycle of this bacterium would be to allow the bacteria to survive in extreme conditions. The spore formed is called an endospore which is a thick cover made of protein. These spores are mostly resistant to heat and chemicals which makes the bacteria survive in harsh conditions. Spores can only be destroyed by sterilization and it require very high pressures and very temperatures. In microbiology and medical settings, this process is usually done in a device known as the autoclave. Sterilization is a process that involves the killing of all microorganism in a system whether it is harmful or beneficial.
