Answer:

b. all three pathogens are obligate anaerobes.

Explanation:

Tetanus is caused by an <u>exotoxin</u> produced by the bacterium <em>Clostridium tetani</em>, which is normally f<u>ound in the soil</u>, although it may be present in the intestines of mammals. It is an <u>anoxic and spore-forming bacteria</u>. It enters the body through wounds or deep punctures, finding in the wound the anoxic conditions to germinate its spores, producing its potent toxin.

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium <em>Bacillus anthracis</em>, which is a stationary and <u>endospore-forming </u>bacteria that is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals. It is a <u>strictly aerobic</u> bacterium and can be <u>found naturally in the soil</u>. Both animals and humans can breathe or ingest spores of this bacterium by consuming meat or contaminated water. When spores get into the body, their turn into active cells and <u>produce exotoxins</u>

Botulism is caused by the pathogen <em>Clostridium botulinum</em>, a s<u>trict anaerobic</u> bacillus, producing <u>endospores and 8 different types of toxins</u>. Being a <u>soil-borne bacterium</u>, it usually appears in the food of animal and vegetable origin.

The chaparral biome is generally characterized by its terrain.<br><br><br> True or False?
Igoryamba
I believe this would be false. Chaparral biomes can have many different types of terrains. The land in a chaparral biome can be mountainous, rocky, or flat. Chaparral biomes are generally defined by their temperature and climate. They are very hot and dry, and have mild winters and extreme summers. Hope this helps.

Which activity causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The activity which causes the least amount of wetland and estuary degradation when it occurs near the coast is:

A. dune grass rehabilitation

Explanation:

This is actually a rehabilitation effort, unlike the other three options that cause land degradation.  A dune grass rehabilitation accretes sand and minimizes the rates of beach erosion. The program tries to protect coastal infrastructure and upland properties from storm damage by planting vegetation, fencing off sensitive areas, blocking storm surge, creating dune walkways, and absorbing wave energy.  During dune grass rehabilitation, activities that adversely affect the dunes are avoided.

A victim of foreign body airway obstruction become unresponsive. what is your first course of action?
Anna11 [10]
Answer:
Use a head tilt (tilting the head backward) and chin lift to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airway, and look for the foreign body that is causing the obstruction.

Explanation.
The backward head tilt and chin lift will prevent the tongue from obstructing airflow.
If the foreign object can be seen and removed, do so. Usually, it is not wise to use the fingers unless the foreign object is visible and accessible.

The next step is to perform CPR because the patient is unresponsive.
