Ans.

Bacterial cells are surrounded by a very large structure, known as capsule or slime layer. It is made up of polysaccharides and protect the bacteria from harsh, external conditions, such as antibiotics, acidic conditions, and desiccation. The capsule also enhances the virulence  (disease causing ability) of bacteria. In given diagram, capsule is represented by label (A).

Thus, the labeled structure that protects bacteria and allows it to cause infection in harsh, acidic conditions is (A).

The digestive tract is essentially one long tube. Write down order of the structures
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

It consists of the mouth, or oral cavity, with its teeth, for grinding the food, and its tongue, which serves to knead food and mix it with saliva; the throat, or pharynx; the esophagus; the stomach; the small intestine, consisting of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum; and the large intestine, consisting of the cecum, a closed-end sac connecting with the ileum, the ascending colon, the transverse colon, the descending colon, and the sigmoid colon, which terminates in the rectum. Glands contributing digestive juices include the salivary glands, the gastric glands in the stomach lining, the pancreas, and the liver and its adjuncts—the gallbladder and bile ducts. All of these organs and glands contribute to the physical and chemical breaking down of ingested food and to the eventual elimination of nondigestible wastes.
