Answer:

The iodine might have got into the bag by the process of diffusion/osmosis.

<em>In the process of diffusion, particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration along a concentration gradient. </em>

As we know, the iodine solution in the large container had more particles of iodine whereas the baggie had none of the iodine solution. As a result, a concentration gradient developed due to which iodine solution moved into the baggie through the process of diffusion or osmosis.

Botulinum toxin is produced by Clostridium botulinum, a gram-negative bacterium. The toxin actually consists of 7 related toxins
Bess [88]

Answer:

A. Botulinum toxin possesses a heavy chain and a light chain, each of which takes part in the toxicity. The binding of the protein and its invasion within a nerve cell is permitted by the heavy chain. After the entry is permitted, the light chain functions like a protease and chops proteins, which would usually permit neurotransmitters to discharge out from the cell. This is basically a commotion of exocytosis or the discharging of neurotransmitters.  

The acetylcholine, that is, the obstructed neurotransmitter generally conducts a nerve impulse to a muscle, allowing the muscle to contract. By inhibiting the neurotransmitter, the botulinum toxin results in its distinctive flaccid paralysis.  

B. The small doses of the sterile, purified botulinum toxin when used in a medical setting as an injectable form prevent the release of a chemical known as acetylcholine by the nerve cells, which signal contraction of the muscles. By selectively interfering with the underlying tendency of the muscles to contract, the prevailing frown lines are smoothed out, and in the majority of the cases are almost invisible for a week.
