<u>Answer</u>: c) capsule

<u>Explanation</u>: The capsule is the most external layer of the bacterial envelope and is composed of complex carbohydrates. As it prevents the bacterium from drying out as well as phagocytosis from macrophages, it enhances this microorganism's ability to cause disease. Thus, it is considered a virulence factor and is present in all the major disease-causing bacteria. Those individuals that are lacking it due to mutations, do not cause any disease.

Lilit [14]

The correct answer is A) A roast at 125°F (52°C)

Explanation:

In general terms, bacteria thrive at warm temperatures; this means bacterial growth is lower at extremely hot/cold temperatures, but it is higher at warm or medium temperatures. Indeed, the ideal temperature for bacteria to develop and reproduce is between 4° C and 60°C. This implies from the options given the roast at 52°C represents an ideal temperature for the growth of bacteria. Also, other options include temperatures above 60°C, and therefore do not allow bacteria to grow well.
