Answer:
The Paramecium reproduce asexually. You can tell because there is only one needed to reproduce.
Answer:
A chemical element is a type of atom with the same number of protons in their <u>atomic</u> nuclei.
Explanation:
For an example, the atomic number of Chlorine is 17, and there is 17 protons in Chlorine.

The predators will feed on the prey lowering their birthrates, but while feeding on the prey, the predators' growth rate will lower since there is less prey to feed on.
<span>The answer is letter B.
Some bacteria that interact with humans can cause benefits to the body when they are small in numbers. An example of this bacteria is the lactobacilli which can be found as an ingredient in some drinks that can purify the digestive system. Though, they can only be taken in small amounts because they may overwhelm the immune system which can cause major complications within the internal organs. Some bacteria that interact with humans can be harmful because of their capacity to divide at a fast rate. <span>

Answer:
The events in chronological order are:
- Abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells
- Abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm
- Abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome.
- Ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides
- Protein synthesis halts in many tissues
- Multiple organ systems fail
- Victim dies
Explanation:
Abrin is a toxic protein obtained from the seeds of Abrus precatorius, it is highly toxic, with an estimated human fatal dose of 0.1-1 microgram/kg, and causes death after accidental and intentional poisoning.
When ingested the abrin would enter the victim's body and travel through the blood and eventually enter a cell's cytoplasm (abrin is absorbed into the blood and enters the body's cells). Once there it would interact with the ribosomes and reacts with them on a molecular level (peptide bond catalytic enzyme) (abrin binds to ribosomes in the cytoplasm), which results in the ribosome exhibiting its toxic response to abrin (abrin inactivates the 28S rRNA in the large subunit of the ribosome). As a result of the ribosome reacting to abrin (ribosomes are unable to add new amino acids to polypeptides), protein synthesis within that cell is affected (protein synthesis halts in many tissues). Once multiple cells are affected by abrin the organ will exhibit its toxic response (multiple organ systems fail), and the victim would die.
