Answer:
The effects of climate change may be associated with the increased incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection
Explanation:
<em>Vibrio vulnificus</em> is a harmful bacterium that causes a serious disease due to eating contaminated seafood, which is the main cause of seafood-related deaths in the USA. <em>V. vulnificus</em> is naturally present in the flora of coastal waters around the world and this bacterium has been isolated from a variety of seafood (e.g.., fish, oysters, shrimp, etc). Epidemiologic studies have shown that the incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection has increased dramatically since 1996. During this same period, climate change has been responsible for the increase in salinity and temperature of the coastal waters (i.e., the natural habitat of this bacterium). In consequence, it is reasonable to suppose that the change in climatic conditions may be associated with the increased incidence of <em>V. vulnificus</em> infection.
Carbohydrates provide structural support, in the form of cellulose in cell walls, for plants in addition to providing energy for the organism
Proteins are essential for muscle tissue's growth and development as well as, in the form of hormones and hormonal regulation, maintaining an organism's homeostasis.
Lipids make up the bilayer of cell membranes, and also aid hormonal signaling.
Nucleic acids store genetic information, and allow for ribosomal protein synthesis.
A target cell respond to a hormone because it bears receptors
Answer: B
Explanation:
They inject their DNA into the cell, which reprograms that cell to become that virus. This is why viruses are so deadly and can spread throughout the body and to others easily, and efficiently.
