Answer:

it is an exotoxic pathogen

Explanation:

The toxin which is released by the bacteria outside the cell is called exotoxin. Endotoxin is related with the lipopolysaccharide cell wall of gram-negative bacterial mostly.

Clostridium botulinum is the bacteria that produces clostridial toxin outside the cell and it causes foodborne intoxication in humans. This toxication is called botulism. Exotoxins are more lethal than endotoxin because it is very harmful even in a small dose.  

Mostly the exotoxin is already present in the contaminated food and clostridium botulinum is mainly found in canned food.

ira [324]

Answer: Biodiversity loss

Explanation:

The biodiversity can be defined as the variety of life forms on earth or any other region. The forests are rich sources of biodiversity. The hunting, poaching, animal trafficking, and other ill-legal related human activities are like to reduce the species richness in forests. As many species are dependent upon other species for food, mate and other requirements for completing the life cycle thus the well-being of the forests will get deteriorated by the loss of biodiversity.
