The right answer is ¨eubacteria¨, because before hibernating (occurs when organisms enter a dormant phase when adverse conditions arise) they produce spores (an asexual reproductive cell) <span>because its spores have very thick walls and are widely resistant to those adverse conditions.</span>

The answer is Eubacteria

Their spores can become temporarily inactive if the environment is harmful to them. They will become active again when the enviroment is suitable for their living

Why are some pathogenic bacteria able to make toxins?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
A pathogen is a microorganism that is able to cause disease in a plant, animal or insect. Pathogenicity is the ability to produce disease in a host organism. Microbes express their pathogenicity by means of their virulence, a term which refers to the degree of pathogenicity of the microbe. Hence, the determinants of virulence of a pathogen are any of its genetic or biochemical or structural features that enable it to produce disease in a host.

The relationship between a host and a pathogen is dynamic, since each modifies the activities and functions of the other. The outcome of such a relationship depends on the virulence of the pathogen and the relative degree of resistance or susceptibility of the host, due mainly to the effectiveness of the host defense mechanisms. Staphylococcus aureus, arguably the most prevalent pathogen of humans, may cause up to one third of all bacterial diseases ranging from boils and pimples to food poisoning, to septicemia and toxic shock.

The Underlying Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenicity

Two broad qualities of pathogenic bacteria underlie the means by which they cause disease:
1. Invasiveness is the ability to invade tissues. It encompasses mechanisms for colonization (adherence and initial multiplication), production of extracellular substances which facilitate invasion (invasins) and ability to bypass or overcome host defense mechanisms.

2. Toxigenesis is the ability to produce toxins. Bacteria may produce two types of toxins called exotoxins and endotoxins. Exotoxins are released from bacterial cells and may act at tissue sites removed from the site of bacterial growth. Endotoxins are cell-associated substance. (In a classic sense, the term endotoxin refers to the lipopolysaccharide component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria). However, endotoxins may be released from growing bacterial cells and cells that are lysed as a result of effective host defense (e.g. lysozyme) or the activities of certain antibiotics (e.g. penicillins and cephalosporins). Hence, bacterial toxins, both soluble and cell-associated, may be transported by blood and lymph and cause cytotoxic effects at tissue sites remote from the original point of invasion or growth. Some bacterial toxins may also act at the site of colonization and play a role in invasion. Acid-fast stain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent of tuberculosis (TB). The bacteria are the small pink-staining rods. More than one-third of the world population is infected. The organism has caused more human deaths than any other bacterium in the history of mankind. Although its ability to produce disease is multifactorial, it is not completely understood. American Society of Microbiology, with permission.

What do most enzymes that utilize ATP also require as a cofactor?
34kurt

Answer: Mg2+

Explanation: ATP(Adenosine triphosphate) is unstable in nature and also shows the property of being electronegative. It is seen that O^- is the electronegative element and it is bonded with the Mg2+ being a positive divalent and thus achieve the stability and reducing the electrostatic repulsion.So, there is the combination between the negatively charged phosphate groups with the Mg2+. Therefore option (a) is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements proves that scientific knowledge changed due to the discovery of Ötzi the Iceman?
Vladimir79 [104]
The correct option is D.
Scientific knowledge is very dynamic, it changes all the time based on emergence of new evidence. When new evidence are discovered, the scientific knowledge that are already in use are usually modified based on the new discovery.<span />
