Answer:

Serovars

Explanation:

Serovars refer to the different strains of a species of microbe that differ from each other with respect to the antigenic composition of a specific structure such as polysaccharides of the cell wall. Serovars are identified suing appropriate antiserum.  

For example, the bacterial species <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em> have as many as 90 serovars that differ from each other with respect to antigens present in their capsules. These different serovars are identified by using antiserum for specific capsular types which in turn would induce capsular swelling.

TRUE OR FALSE<br> Oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream in the trachea?
Arte-miy333 [17]

False. Oxygen is absorbed in the alveoli sacs of the lungs.

Upon inhalation Air must first pass through the larynx and down to the trachea, which then splits off into two separate bronchial tubes, the bronchial tubes divide into smaller air passages known as the bronchi and those into even smaller bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny sacs called the alveoli which transfer the oxygen from the inhaled air to the bloodstream.

True or false? cell death normally does not occur unless there has been an injury to the cell.
Evgen [1.6K]

The statement 'cell death normally does not occur unless there has been an injury to the cell' is false.

A cell can be described as the basic building block of life. All living organisms are known to be made of cells.

There are various reasons that a cell might die. A cell might die when its function is over. A cell might also die for the formation of other structures in the body. For example, the formation of an outer layer of the skin requires dead cells. A cell might kill itself if it has no use or finds that it has been invaded by an antigen.

Hence, the statement that cell death occurs only due to injury is false as cell death can occur due to various other reasons.

horsena [70]

Answer:

Bacteria

Explanation:

Bacteria are a group of single celled organisms that are neither plants or animals.

Bacteria lack cell organelles such as the nucleus and the chlorophyll.

They can be found in many environments and most of them are adapted to survive in extreme environments such as hot-springs where the temperatures are extremely high.

Unlike the plant cell wall, bacterial cell wall has a layer of peptidoglucan which determines their shape. Their cytoplasm contains both DNA and RNA.
