Answer:

Water is the most important element in our body and we need a constant supply of it to survive. Now in the scenario that you described is very important to make sure you boil the water because that is the best way to ensure that you killed any living organism (Virus, bacteria or parasites) that could endanger your life. So the answer to your question is A as it was said before but let me elaborate a little more.  

Explanation:

Many times, water is contaminated by mosquito or bacteria that can cause among other problems Dysentery. This is an inflammation of the intestines that cause a lot of pain and a bloody diarrhea. This bacteria is spread through water or food and in many third world countries is the main cause of death among the population. When you boil the water the bacteria is killed and the water is safe for drinking. If you ever learn of someone developing such symptoms and they claim to have drank unsafe water, suggest them to go to the doctor intermediately. Their life is at risk.

What is bacteria flagellum? What is made of and its function? What type of organization can flagella have on cells?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Bacterial flagella is the external structure that is thin, long and filamentous. It is attached to the cell wall of the bacteria which helps in the locomotion of the bacteria. It has three parts a filament, hook and basal body. The basal body is incorporated in the cell membrane.

A flagellum is made up of a protein called flagellin. It is a rigid protein and helps in making the hollow core of the filament by assembling together to form a structure which is cylindrical in shape.

The organization of flagella on bacterial cells is helpful in the identification of bacterial species. Mostly 4 type of organization of flagella is present on bacterial cell that are monotrichous, amphitrichous, lophoyrichous and perithrichous.

In monotrichious bacteria, only one flagella is present on one side, in amphitrichous both side of the cell have an equal amount of flagella. Lophotrichous bacteria have a group of flagella at one side of the cell and amphitrichous bacteria have many flagella distributed equally on its cell.
