Why are some bacteria referred to as indicator microorganisms in ascertaining microbial quality control of products?
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Some bacteria are used as indicators because if they are present in the product, we can say that it is a product with the presence of pathogens that will cause diseases. Some of them are: total coliforms, fecal coliforms and enterococci.

To be a good indicator they must have a correlation with the pathogens and be more abundant than them. Its presence in a food indicates the possible presence  simultaneous pathogen microorganisms. For example, E. coli has been used as  Index of possible presence of pathogens of enteric origin in water and food

What is unusual about the genetically-inherited mitochondrial disease LHON as compared to the genetically-inherited disease sick
Schach [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.

Ceratium fusus is a protist that is found primarily in coastal waters, especially around the coast of the United Kingdom. These
kotykmax [81]

A chemical defense mechanism is called bioluminescence.

As mentioned in the reaction, Ceratium fusus undergoes a special chemical reaction at night which helps them defend themselves from predators. During this reaction, light is produced inside a living organism. However, this type of reaction does not produce heat although it does produce light.

<h3>What is bioluminescence used for?</h3>

The most well-known purpose of bioluminescence is to defend the organism against attacks by predators. This is because the light confuses or frightens predators.

Besides confusing the predator, the light can also alert large predators to approach the location of the organism, in this way this large predator will eat the predator that is threatening the organism which in our question, is Ceratium fusus.

Many marine organisms use the phenomenon of bioluminescence for their defense, in particular marine invertebrates, vertebrates, certain micro-organisms as well as certain fish and fungi.

Hence concluded that the bioluminescence characteristic of Ceratium fusus is being described.
