Answer:

Abstract. Infectious disease, particularly severe infectious disease, is widely recognized as a cause of biological population fluctuation or decrease. However, it is not usually thought to be a major factor in triggering species extinction or endangerment.

Explanation:

Invading infectious diseases can, in theory, lead to the extinction of host populations, particularly if reservoir species are present or if disease transmission is frequency-dependent.

The structure of protein molecules describe ?
artcher [175]
Proteins are polymers composed of repeating units of amino acids, linked via peptide bonds (bonds between the amine and carboxyl groups of the adjacent amino acids). All proteins have a primary, secondary and tertiary structure and some, such as haemoglobin, have a quaternary structure. 

Primary structure of the proteins are the sequence of amino acids and their order. The "R" regions of the amino acids determine the proteins secondary tertiary and quaternary structures.

In the secondary structure, the protein folds into either an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. This occurs due to hydrogen bonding between the "R" group of the amino acids.

The tertiary structure gives the protein its 3D shape. Here it is folded further and more bonds (such as disulphide bonds) also form.

In the quaternary structure, prosthetic groups (e.g. a haem group for haemoglobin) is added. If the protein has more than one protein chains, here the chains join to form the final protein.

Botulism is caused by ingestion of a proteinaceous exotoxin; therefore, it can easily be prevented by
hammer [34]

Botulism can easily be prevented by boiling food prior to consumption.

<h3>What is Botulism?</h3>

Botulism may be defined as an imperative food poisoning that is provoked by botulinum toxin delivered in food by a bacterial species clostridium botulinum.

Clostridium botulinum inhibits the release of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction and causes defects in sensory perception through the central nervous system.

It can only be prevented by taking the proper boiled food prior to consumption.

The complete question is as follows:

  • boiling food prior to consumption.
  • administering antibiotics to patients.
  • not eating canned food.
  • filtering food.
  • preventing fecal contamination of food.

Therefore, the correct option for this question is A, i.e. boiling food prior to consumption.
