Is an organism capable of causing disease in its host. A human pathogen is capable of causing illness in humans. Common examples of pathogenic organisms include specific strains of bacteria like Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli, and viruses such as Cryptosporidium.


Well if you want to be it a start spreading different types of disease that you are not aware of and that might hurt or even kill a person then you can be a pathogenic organism. But in order to stop if you will have to use a cure.


Treatment and health care. Bacteria are usually treated with antibiotics while viruses are treated with antiviral compounds. Eukaryotic pathogens are typically not susceptible to antibiotics and thus need specific drugs. Infection with many pathogens can be prevented by immunization

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
blondinia [14]
  <span>The cells of plants and animals are similar expect for a few different structures like the shape of the cells and cell wall. They differ in cell shape since animal cells are rounded and it has irregular shape while plant cells have fixed shape which is rectangular. Another structure is a cell wall. Animal cells don’t have cell wall while plant cells have. Plant cell wall is a structure surrounding the cell that provides a number of functions such as strength to support the plant, Flexibility, Water-proofing, Barrier to pests, Protection against environmental stress, signaling and sensing.            </span>

The largest amount of carbon dioxide is transported in the bloodstream in the form of carbonic anhydrase. True False
motikmotik

Answer: False, it is transported as bicarbonate

Explanation: Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme belonging to the family of metalloenzymes that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to ions and carbonic acid. This enzyme is found in red blood cells where carbon dioxide enters by diffusion. Once it diffuses through it is then converted by carbonic anhydrase to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.

That is how its transported in bloodstream, passes through the heart via the venous system, to the lungs. Therefore the answer is False.

Which are come of the advantages of body segmentation?
Len [333]

Answer:

b. Segments can become specialized on a particular function

Explanation:

Segmentation conditions virtually every aspect of the structure and functioning of animals with a consecutive body. Generally speaking, we can say that the main advantage of segmentation is that each segment can become specialized in a specific function.

One of its advantages is related to locomotion and comes, on the one hand, from the fact that the volume of celiac fluid remains constant in each compartment, acting as an antagonistic force against which muscles can act and, on the other, from the possibility of independently control each segment . This allows the peristaltic movement (circular muscle contraction wave followed by longitudinal muscle contraction) to be localized and involve only those muscles that are strictly necessary, making the movement's energy needs considerably more profitable.

The compartmentalization of the body led to the repetition of structures, namely excretory, nervous and circulatory in each segment. This can be seen as another advantage of segmentation as it may lessen the impact of damage to the animal's body; Undamaged segments can maintain their normal functions and thus increase the likelihood that the animal will overcome the damage sustained.

Another advantage is that segmentation allows modification of certain portions of the body to perform specialized functions such as feeding, locomotion and reproduction.
