The condition which is most likely to cause death of a botulism patient is Respiratory failure.

Explanation:

The causal organism of Botulism is the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>

It is usually found in canned food and causes a very severe food poisoning.

The bacteria release botulinum toxin on reaching the intestine of the person and from their the toxins are absorbed into the blood.

Botulism mainly effects the neuromuscular system of the body. .

The basic symptoms of botulism is characterised by weaknes in limbs , jaws and eyes.

A decreased muscular activity sometimes causes constipation due to slowed down peristalsis.

Sometimes nausea , vomiting and diarrhea may occur.

If left untreated and in severe cases, the toxins may proceed to effect the respiratory muscle thus hindering the proper breathing and gaseous exchange.

A further damage could result in the respiratory failure.

<h3>What is a Stroke ?</h3>

A stroke is when a portion of the brain loses blood supply. It occurs when a blood clot narrows an artery in the brain or when pressure builds up there due to a blood vessel in the head bleeding. Both scenarios result in the death of brain cells and either temporary or permanent brain damage.

  • A blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a blood vessel leak or burst are the two basic causes of stroke (hemorrhagic stroke). Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), which are brief interruptions in blood supply to the brain that don't persist long, can occur in some persons.

ser-zykov [4K]

Symbiotic Relationships : A long term relationship between two biotic factors, where at least one benefits





Mutualism= symbiotic relationship where both organisms benefit (+,+) o Example- rhino & woodpecker (rhino gets rid of parasites and bird gets food) 



Parasitism = symbiotic relationship where one benefits and the other is harmed, but not typically to the point of death (+,-) o Example- tapeworm in an animal, tick or flea on a dog (parasite benefits at the expense of the host) 




Commensalism = symbiotic relationship where one benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed (+, 0) o Example- barnacles on a scallop (barnacles get a habitat/place to attach while the scallop is not hurt or helped by their presence).



















Symbiotic Relationships:

In symbiosis, two or more species live together in a close, long term association. Symbiotic relationships can be beneficial to both organisms or may benefit one organism and leave the other harmed or unaffected. Parasitism is one type of symbiotic relationship that is detrimental to, or harms, the host organism. In this relationship, one organism feeds on and usually lives in another, typically larger, organism. Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both participating species benefit. A well known instance of mutualism involves ants and aphids. The ants feed on fluid the aphids secrete, and in exchange, the ants protect the aphids from insect predators. A third from of symbiosis is commensalism, a symbiotic relationship in which one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor helped. Among the best-known examples of commensalism are the feeding and protection relationships between certain small tropical fishes and sea anemones, marine animals that have stinging tentacles.








Hope that helps!!!!!! :)
