<span>The answer would be: a. inflammation is accompanied by an increase in peristaltic movements of his small intestine.

The pathogen will attract the white blood cells that will induce inflammation in the intestine. Inflammation of the intestine will cause increased permeability and increased bowel movement, makes the food transit time reduced and lead to diarrhoea. This mechanism is beneficial since it can help the intestine to "flush out" pathogen of toxins that induce the inflammation.</span>

When an environment is hypotonic what happens to the cell?​
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Cells placed in a hypotonic solution will take in water across their membrane until both the external solution and the cytosol are isotonic. A cell that does not have a rigid cell wall, such as a red blood cell, will swell and lyse (burst) when placed in a hypotonic solution.

A bacterium that you isolated from pond water appears to use light for energy. Based upon this information, you inoculate the or
FinnZ [79.3K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

  • there was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.
  • no oxygen was added to the medium so the organism died.
  • there is some inhibitory chemical that is preventing the growth of the bacterium.
  • you were using the wrong type of sunlight as the energy source for the bacterium.

Answer:

There was no sulfur compound added to the medium, that could be used as an electron donor.

Explanation:

In the given question, the bacteria which are found in the pond uses light energy to use carbon dioxide and form the glucose molecule. These bacteria are known as phototrophic bacteria.

The process of photosynthesis requires an electron donor and an electron acceptor to use molecule.

The organism when provided the light and carbon dioxide artificially in a culture, the bacteria were not able to grow. The reason for this could be accounted as that there was no electron donor found in the media like sulfur which could donate the electron during the chain reaction.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
