Answer:

The correct answer is the neurotoxin known as tetanospasmin toxin.

Explanation:

Tetanus is a disease caused by a bacteria known as clostridium. The bacteria are found in soil, manure, dust, and saliva. It can enter the host body by a cut or rusted or dusty nail or burn. It causes muscle spasm or jaw locking or bone locking.

It releases the neurotoxin that is tetanospasmin toxin that inhibits the secretion of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and results in a variety of symptoms associated with tetanus.

Thus, the correct answer is the neurotoxin known as tetanospasmin toxin.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

B. At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell?

Explanation:

Organelles are specific in their functioning and hence, each organelle contributes its own quota to the cell's proper functioning. According to the question, a muscle tissue is being worked on to determine the effect of a missing or damaged organelle on its cell.

Mitochondria are organelles found in all eukaryotic living cells. They are the organelles responsible for the synthesis of ATP (energy) used by the cell as a result of the glucose that gets converted in them during cellular respiration.

Therefore, to determine if the muscle cells are functioning properly, the question that: At what rate do the mitochondria of the cell need to convert glucose to usable energy molecules to meet the high energy needs of the cell? should be asked.

Note that, Chloroplast and cell wall are not found in muscle cells, which is an animal cell. Likewise, ribosomes are not organelles for synthesis of glucose.
