Answer:

All the options are correct.

Explanation:

The causative agent of the disease is Escheria Coli which is a bacteria.

Escheria Coli have different serotypes which is as a result of variations in its genome.

One of the serotype of E. Coli is E. coli O157:H7 which is a good borne pathogen and it is one of the shiga like toxin producing E.coli, a food borne disease and it is gotten from consuming contaminated food products, raw or not properly processed milk or meat.

The organism has O antigen type 157 and flagella type 7 and can produce LT and ST toxins. It causes infectious dysentery.

The symptoms include watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, and low grade fever.

It can be treated by the administration of an anti-diarrheal drug, plenty of fluids.

Arrange the order of events for the internalization of LDL particles into cells:
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The correct answer is "5-1-3-2-4".

Explanation:

Internalization of LDL particles into cells, is needed to form the intracellular vesicles known as endosomes. The order of events that allow for this process are:

5) LDL receptors migrate to the cell surface and cluster in clathrin-coated pits. Clathrin acts directing the receptors to the cell membrane region where endosomes are formed.

1) A combination of cholesterol and apolipoprotein binds to LDL receptors and becomes internalized as endocytotic vesicles. Once the receptors are in the proper cell membrane region, cholesterol and apolipoprotein are bound and internalized.

3) Several endocytotic vesicles fuse to form an endosome.

2) The environment of the endosome becomes acidic, which causes the LDL to dissociate from its receptor; additionally, the endosome fuses with a lysosome. LDL should be dissociated from its receptor since it is going to be degraded in the following step.

4) The LDL particle is degraded by the lysosome. This takes place after endocytosis, when LDL particles are transported into lysosomes once they are fused, cleaving the cholesterol esters into cholesterol and fatty acids.
