Answer:

B. The pathogen must be grown in pure culture.

Explanation:

Virus, and also some bacteria can not be cultured in "lifeless media". In the case of bacteria, we refer to the obligate intracellular ones, and all virus. Thus, this postulate can not be fulfilled in all cases. Virus can be propagated on tissue cultures, but certainly this was not considered by Koch. Moreover, these methods often result in spontaneous genetic alterations, which leads to adaptation and even attenuation in animal models of disease, so, the cultured virus perhaps does not induce the same disease when introduced to another specimen.

A:Any of a group of complex organic macromolecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and usually sulfur and are composed of one or more chains of amino acids. Proteins are fundamental components of all living cells and include many substances, such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies, that are necessary for the proper functioning of an organism. They are essential in the diet of animals for the growth and repair of tissue and can be obtained from foods such as meat, fish, eggs, milk, and legumes.</span>

If the Greenland ice sheet melted, approximately how much would the sea level rise worldwide? (1 meter = 3.28 feet)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Due to the general core field and psychic naturalism measurements of the ice sheet, the top water sheet level would rise approximately 353 meters.

It's quite sad, as the poles require an uneven lining, where if we lose that uneven lining, all warm blooded species are surely doomed.
