Answer:

A. Both waves carry energy and refract

Explanation:

There are two major types of waves viz; mechanical waves and electromagnetic eaves. Mechanical waves such as sound waves are waves that require a medium or matter to pass/travel through while electromagnetic waves like light waves do not strictly require a medium to travel i.e through vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves i.e their particles move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave while mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal. All waves carry energy from one medium to another and are capable of refraction i.e. change of direction.

Therefore, both mechanical and electromagnetic waves carry energy and refract.

The ability of vibrio cholerae to cause disease depends on a number of factors. What are general requirements for any organism t

Svetllana [295]

<h2>Disease </h2>

Explanation:

Pathogenicity is the ability to produce disease in a host organism
Microbes express their pathogenicity by means of their virulence, a term which refers to the degree of pathogenicity of the microbe
The relationship between a host and a pathogen is dynamic, since each modifies the activities and functions of the other
The outcome of such a relationship depends on the virulence of the pathogen and the relative degree of resistance or susceptibility of the host, due mainly to the effectiveness of the host defense mechanisms
Hence, general requirements for any organism to cause disease within a host are: evasion of host defenses , gaining access to the host via a portal of entry, adherence to host tissues

_________ is a smooth muscle cell has a central nucleus but lacks striations.

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Linings of hollow organs

Explanation:

Smooth muscle cells are usually found in the lining of hollow organs such as all arteries and veins, wall of stomach, uterus, urinary bladder, digestive system etc. The cells of these linings are spindle shaped and consist of a nucleus at the center which lacks striations.

They work as a housekeeper and are under involuntary control except the heart. They lack striation because of irregular arraying of actin and myosin filament along the length of the cell.
