Ciproflaxin is a broad spectrum antibiotic that kills most normal microbial inhabitants in the human gut. Clostridium difficile

is found in small numbers in the normal flora of some healthy adults however this normal inhabitant of the gut is not affected by ciproflaxin. Clostridium difficile is innately resistant to ciproflaxin. After therapy with ciproflaxin patients who normally carry Clostridium difficile often exhibit Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. The change in ability of Clostridium difficile to cause disease would best be explained by the statement that [choose the statement below that you would argue is the best explanation.
a. Ciproflaxin interacted with Clostridium difficile in a manner to make the organism more pathogenic.
b. I do not know the answer to this question.
c. Ciproflaxin has killed the microbes that normally compete with Clostridium difficile in the gut allowing the microbe to grow uncontrolled.
d. Ciproflaxin acted as a mutagen. Ciproflaxin induced a mutation in Clostridium difficile to make the organism more pathogenic.

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that  Ciproflaxin has killed the microbes that normally compete with <em>Clostridium difficile</em> in the gut allowing the microbe to grow uncontrolled.

<u>The competition for resources normally limits the growth of living organisms. In the absence of competition, organisms grow rapidly and are able to reach a blossoming level that will never be reached with the presence of competitors.</u>

<em>In the case of Clostridium difficile, the removal of most of the normal microbial inhabitants of the human gut pave way for the organism to unlock a new level of growth to the extent that their toxin is able to cause Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea. The lack of competition makes more resources available for the organism to thrive. </em>

<u>The correct option is c</u>.

Which functions is not associated with the lymphatic system?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Hey there, the question has no options but don't worry I will give you some of the functions of lymphatic system, so you can deduce the wrong one from your options.

Explanation:

Lymphatic system is a large collection of vessels that drains fluid called lypmp towards the heart. It is a part of the circulatory system of the body.

The lymphatic system peforms some of these functions; it drains interstitial fluid from tissues; it helps in the absorption of fatty acids and fats from the digestive system; it also assists in immune response by transporting antigens to the site of infectious impact; it also transport white blood cells to the bones.

So basically, lymphatic system helps in transport, immune response, fat reabsorption in the digestive system. It transports the remaining blood or fluid about 3litres of the filtered plasma which is not absorbed into the blood stream. The fat absorption is by lymph nodes called lacteals. Any other functions out of these groups of answers is sure not associated with the lymphatic system of the body.

Arteries are normally depicted as red while veins are colored blue due to the oxygenation of the blood being transported by each
Bogdan [553]
The exceptions to this rule are the pulmonary arteries and veins.  
<span>
The pulmonary artery is the one that carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart (ventricle) to the lungs. On the other side, pulmonary veins transfer oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart (left atrium).</span>

Alex777 [14]

It's a drug! VERY BAD FOR YOU. Don't do it!

That's why we have a tradition called the drug drive basically we wear red and wear red wristbands and we tie the red ribbons to the fences because it's a word that we spread out to tell people not to do drugs at all! It's a wonderful tradition because we could help people stop getting sick and from dying.

Why would invertebrates fertilise their eggs internally?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The advantage of inside fertilization is that the fertilized egg is protected against dehydration on land. The embryo is segregated from the woman, limiting young predation. The fertilization of internal eggs by a certain male is also improved.

Explanation:

Interior fertilization is the union in the female body of the egg and the sperm. The female has more control over internal fertilization, as opposed to its counterpart, exterior fertilization. There has to be a technique for males to introduce the sperm into their reproductive system in order for internal fertilization to occur.

Copulation, an intromittent organ, is inserted into the vagina or cloaca in mammals, reptiles, and some other group of species. The cloacal kiss is employed in most birds, and the two animals squeeze their cloacas together as sperm is transferred. Salamanders and Spiders are internally regulated by passing a bundle of sperm from the male to the female. Some insects and certain mollusks are fecundated. The embryos are placed as eggs in the organisms or continue to develop within the mother's reproduction tract as young, viviparous creatures after fertilization.
