Answer:

The mismatch is on the statement that says "Bacillus anthracis produces antioxidants to combat lysosomes."

Explanation:

A. Bacillus anthracis produces antioxidants to combat lysosomes.

This is incorrect. Bacillus anthracis is a bacterium that forms aerobic spores, whose structures contain the genetic material of the bacteria and that resist long periods without water or nutrients, in conditions of extreme heat or cold. Bacillus anthracis is found in some forms, one of this, is the cutaneous anthrax. Cutaneous anthrax is a skin infection caused by direct contact with the bacterium.

B. Coxiella burnetii produces an endospore-like structure.

Coxiella burnetti is a bacterial zoonosis and produces structures similar to endospores, which are cells or forms of resistance that develop certain bacilli against heat, desiccation, radiation and chemical influences.

C. Trypanosoma cruzi cloaks itself in host proteins to avoid immune recognition.

Trypanosoma cruzi is characterized by being a parasite with great antigenic variability. In the host infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the membrane protein called cruzipain, is a response used in favor of the parasite. The humoral response to the cruzipain antigen, the largest antigen of Trypanosoma cruzi, is implicated in the pathogenesis of experimental Chagas disease.

D. Borrelia burgdorferi changes its surface antigens to avoid immune recognition

Borrelia burgdorferi is a bacterium that produces Lyme disease, once infected, the bacterium recombines by altering the antigens of its membrane, preventing immune recognition.

Make a decision about the molecule NaHCO3 classification organic or inorganic
motikmotik

<u>Answer:</u>

NaHCO_{3} is an inorganic compound.

<u>Solution:</u>

  1. Firstly, all the known definitions of organic compounds excludes Carbonic acid and it's salt from organic compounds except if 'C' is present in the cation.  
  2. Secondly, Sodium is a metal which organic compounds cannot posses as a compound.  
  3. Lastly, there is absence of C-H bond which is present in all the organic compounds.

Hence, we can conclude that NaHCO_{3}is an inorganic compound though there is presence of Carbon atom in it.

Which organ of the digestive system does not directly contact food?
Softa [21]

pancreas

Explanation:

In addition to the GI tract, there are digestion accessory organs (salivary glands, pancreas, gallbladder, and liver) that play an integral role in digestion. The accessory organs do not come directly in contact with food or digestive content.

How many chromosomes would be present in a cell after anaphase of Mitosis?
During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell. Therefore the 4n after doubling returns to 2n at each end of the dividing cell after anaphase. But until cytokinesis (1 cell pinching into 2), it's still one cell therefore 4n = 28

What is the fluid found in the extracellular matrix that holds cells together as tissue and allows them to communicate with one
garri49 [273]

The fluid inside of the Extracellular Matrix is Extracellular Fluid. Extracellular Fluid is also called ECF. ECF is mostly tissue fluid. It is also made up of a large amount of intravascular fluid. The remaining smaller amount of ECF is transcellular fluid.
