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.

Why are viruses referred to as obligate fuasites?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

b. They cannot reproduce outside of a host cell.

Explanation:

Viruses are <em>parasitic organisms</em> that need a<em> host</em> in order to<u> thrive</u> and <u>reproduce</u>. This means that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell, but can only do this by parasitizing it. They have to find a host cell in order to continue their life-cycle or else they won't thrive. The word "obligate" means <em>being restricted to a specific mode or function in life</em>. This shows that the virus has a restriction when it comes to <u><em>reproduction.</em></u> It cannot reproduce without finding a host cell.

A food web in a certain ecosystem consists of seals that feed on krill, which in turn feed on phytoplankton. Extensive krill fis
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: Option A) The seals would decrease in number and the phytoplankton would increase in number

Explanation:

The food web can be illustrated as follows: Seal --> Krill --> Phytoplankton

Where phytoplankton is the producer of food, krill is the primary consumer while seal is the secondary consumer.

So, reducing the krill population would immediately cause food shortage for seals, and lessen consumption of phytoplanktons.

Thus, the seals would decrease in number due to starvation and death, while the phytoplankton would increase in number

In areas that receive high amounts of uv light, what could light-skinned people do to increase their fitness?
djyliett [7]
Melanin helps protect the body from the sun's radiation. Since light skinned people have less melanin so, they have less protection. Less protection can lead easily to skin cancer making the person less fit to the environment.
To avoid that, they should use solar protector in areas that receive high amounts of UV light.
