Answer:

Option (C).

Explanation:

<em>Borrelia burgdorferi </em>is the bacterial species that causes lyme disease in the organisms. The researcher that discovers the <em>Borrelia burgdorferi </em>was  Willy Burgdorfer.

The <em>Borrelia </em>has the ability to evades the body's defense. This species has antigenic variation and contains the enzymes that contain manganese which increases its capability.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

C

Explanation:

<em>Borrelia burgdorferi </em>is capable of antigenic variation, where it can change expression of antigens making it difficult for the immune system to identify it.

B. burdorferi also has manganese-containing enzymes instead of iron-containing enzymes and proteins like other pathogens, this helps evade the immune system defenses that protect the body by starving pathogens of iron.

There are also antiphagocytic proteins on the surface of the pathogen that protects them from being digested by the phagocytes.

Why is the menstrual cycle an important adaptation for reproduction in humans?
raketka [301]
The menstrual cycle is practically controlled by a system of hormones that is necessary for reproduction, and when the hormone reaches a heightened level, something called estradiol is made, then the stimulation of the ovaries by a luteinizing hormone.

Once that hormone begins developing, the ovaries make an egg that quickly becomes an ovum. The ovary then releases one egg or two during ovulation. The endometrium (the part that sheds its own cells for the menstruation) peaks after ovulation and changes the lining of the uterus to prepare for the hectic process of pregnancy and child labor. 

Hope that was helpful.

Stanozolol is an anabolic, androgenic (testosterone-like) steroid that acts as an agonist at androgen receptors. Unlike testoste
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

It will result /lead to side effect that could be fatal and life threatening since its inactivation time is longer thus the effect of the large dose will be more pronounced and long lasting.

Explanation:

An hormone agonist is a compound/molecule that can bind to the hormone specific receptor leading to the activation of the endocrine gland, the biosynthesis of secreted hormone and the eliciting the physiological effects of such hormone. Androgenic anabolic efficacy  of steroids is usually goverened by their receptor binding andspecificity and their biotransformation from active to inactive form. Possible  side effect include elevated blood pressure, voice deepening, decease libido, early myocardial infarction and many more

Based on these images, what can you conclude about the organisms?
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

2)They have similarities in their embryonic stages that don’t exist in their adult forms

4)They all contain a backbone, or spinal column

Explanation:

In the embryonic development of vertebrates during the early stages of development there are great similarities. Vertebrates in the early stages as shown in the image are very similar and subsequently develop the structures of their own species that differentiate them.

The presence of notocorde is a characteristic characteristic of vertebrates and birds, fish, reptile amphibians and mammals have it since they are embryos to adults
