Answer: ENDOTOXIN

Explanation: Meningitis is a nervous system disorder that occurs when there is an infection and inflammation of the meninges,these meninges are the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord,they are the pia mater, dura mater,and the arachnoid mater.

This infection and inflammation of the meninges is causes by inversion of microorganism, bacteria precisely,when these bacteria that are gram negative invade the meninges,the cell wall of the bacteria dies off exposing the cellular contents, this exposure introduces a toxin known as LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE directly in to the meninges which disrupts the normal functioning of the meninges, infection further sets in and inflammation is triggered as well.

I got D, C, A, B, C, B, D, C. 

C (proteins) instead of D (nucleic acids) because if you look at a nucleic acid structure, you'll see that sulfur is not found in it. Sulfur is found in two amino acids (methionine and cysteine), which means it could be found in proteins since amino acids build proteins

Answer:

1. Carbohydrates - It serves several key functions in your body. They provide you with energy for daily tasks and are the primary fuel source for your brain's high energy demands. Fiber is a special type of carb that helps promote good digestive health and may lower your risk of heart disease and diabetes.

2. Protein- You use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other body chemicals. Your body also uses protein to build and repair tissues. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

3. Lipids - This is essential for all life on Earth. They play many important roles in maintaining the health of an organism. Arguably the most important function lipids perform is as the building blocks of cellular membranes. Other functions include energy storage, insulation, cellular communication and protection

4. Nucleic acids are very important for cell functioning, and therefore for life. There are two types of nucleic acids, DNA and RNA. Together, they keep track of hereditary information in a cell so that the cell can maintain itself, grow, create offspring and perform any specialized functions it's meant to do.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Addition used for 'either or' events , Multiplication used for 'and' events

Explanation:

Addition is used when Probability is of 'one event <u>or</u> other event'

Multiplication is used when Probability is of 'one event & other event'

Ex : Probability of A winning = 0.4

Probability of B winning = 0.3

Probability (A or B winning) = 0.4 + 0.3 = 0.7

Probability (A & B winning) = 0.4 x 0.3 = 0.12
