Artemon [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Streptococcus pneumonia is a virulent pathogen which cause pneumonia in humans. The polysaccharide capsule plays an important role in the virulence of this bacteria.

This outer capsule do not allow immune cells like phagocytic cell to engulf and kill this bacteria because it cause slippery surface for phagocytes.

Capsule also allow this bacteria to escape from mucus because its capsule repels the mucus as it contain negative charge and capsule is responsible for invasive infection because it helps in colonization of bacteria in host. So by making capsule it avoid destruction by a phagocyte.

Parents can open lines of communication by using reflective listening and scheduling one-on-one time.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

I'm assuming this is a true of false question. If so then the answer is true. Parents need to know how to communicate effectively with their children and two ways of doing this would be through reflective listening which is more than just listening to your kids it involves actually paying attention to what they are saying, the good and bad things, and also by scheduling one on one time making sure that your children know they are important and can talk to you.
