Answer:

Obligate anaerobes. (Ans. D)

Explanation:

Anaerobes: They are micro-organisms that do not require energy oxygen for metabolism. They can only survive in an environment that lacks oxygen.

Obligate anaerobes are bacteria typically living in various places naturally. Many of obligate anaerobes living in the human body, in places such as the mouth and gastrointestinal tract (most of the obligate anaerobes present their) where oxygen level present in very low concentration.

Obligate anaerobes do not contain several enzymes needed to detoxifying oxygen present in the cell. Oxygen produces several byproducts in the presence of water such as hydrogen peroxide, it is a week acid and affects no. of enzymes present in anaerobic cells. In a high level of oxygen anaerobic cells become more acidic and not able to function.

So that's why they are found in no oxygen or low oxygen environment like the gastrointestinal tract.

diamong [38]

The cytokine describes the group of proteins such as interferons and interleukins that regulate cell communication, mainly produced by the immune system in normal and pathological conditions.

<h3>What is a cytokine?</h3>

They are messenger molecules with a glycoprotein structure, whose lifetime is short and generally secreted in cascades.

They are produced by different activated cells, responsible for innate and/or acquired immunity, and regulate the immune and inflammatory response.

Therefore, we can conclude that the cytokine describes the group of proteins that regulate cell communication, mainly produced by the immune system in normal and pathological conditions.
