Answer:

A. Lipid A

Explanation:

The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is present outside to the thin peptidoglycan layer. The outer membrane consists of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) which is the molecule having both carbohydrates and lipids.

The lipopolysaccharide has three parts out of which lipid A is the toxin one. Lipid A is embedded in the outer membrane through its fatty acids. When lipid A enters the blood stream of the host cell, it leads to septic shock. Lipid A is heat stable and highly toxic.

What would be the most likely result if humans stopped burning fossil fuels?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels, the Earth would continue warming up for another few decades because of all the heat we've already produced. Global temperatures would climb – finally stabilizing at a level much higher than we've ever known.

Can you complete this concept map that reviews some key ideas about macro evolution
Inessa [10]
Macroevolution can cause significant changes in the frequencies of alleles, that can ultimately result in speciation (forming of new species).
Various large-scale events like climate change and continental drift can greatly influence the distribution of species and adaptive radiation of different groups that can fill vacant ecological niches.
The changes in gene regulation and genetic mutations can also contribute to macroevolution by producing novel traits and adaptations.
