Solnce55 [7]

The integumentary system, the skin, protects the internal organs from harmful bacteria, sunlight, and injury. The skin is the largest organ of the body and consists of two layers: the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the outer layer. It is made up of dead cells and new cells which make the body waterproof, give color to the skin, and help maintain the body's hydration levels.

Which of the following statements are true regarding pathogens?
dexar [7]

Answer:

Regarding pathogens, the statement that is true is that viruses cannot reproduce on their own.

Explanation:

Viruses are pathogenic agents not considered as living beings, since they are only constituted by genetic material surrounded by a viral capsid, besides not fulfilling vital functions.

These agents are unable to reproduce on their own, so they need to place their genetic material —DNA or RNA— inside a host cell, to modify its nuclear DNA and be able to reproduce.

The other options are not correct because:

  • <u><em>Influenza can cause an upset stomach</em></u><em>.  Influenza primarily affects the respiratory system.</em>
  • <u><em>Pathogens affect everyone equally.</em></u><em> Each individual's immune response is different when exposed to the same pathogen. </em>
  • <u><em>Fungi are large, stoneflies organisms</em></u><em>. The pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albicans and Trichophyton, are different from the mushrooms and fungi that can be seen in soil or decomposed organic matter.</em>
