Answer:
Structure: unicellular organisms (single-celled), no nucleus or membrane-bound organelles, genetic material usually composed of a single circular bacterial chromosome coiled up in a region of the cytoplasm
Function: metabolic functions are carried out in the bacterial cytoplasm
Replication: generally asexual (binary fission)
Explanation:
Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms, i.e., unicellular organisms that do not have a cell nucleus nor any membrane-bound organelles
. Generally, the genetic material is composed of a single DNA circular molecule (bacterial chromosome), which is localized in a specific region of the cytoplasm (nucleoid region). Prokaryotic cells are usually smaller than eukaryotic cells (0.1 - 5 μm in size). In bacteria, metabolic functions (i.e., growth and reproduction) occur in the cytoplasm. The most important process of reproduction in bacteria is binary fission, a form of asexual reproduction where a single bacterial cell divides into two. Bacteria can also exchange genetic material by sexual reproduction mechanisms (i.e., conjugation, transformation and transduction). The main strategy to prevent outbreaks caused by bacteria is to know the conditions where they grow and reproduce. For example, <em>Salmonella</em> is a genus of infectious bacteria that may cause an outbreak. <em>Salmonella</em> infection may be prevented by eliminating conditions where they can multiply. Measures to prevent <em>Salmonella</em> outbreaks include cook food thoroughly (do not eat raw eggs or raw beef), refrigerate foods, wash hands, etc.
3rd and 4th awnsers are correct
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Hepatitis C is the most common bloodborne pathogen.
Hepatitis C as of 2022 has a infection rate of 3.7 million.
Hepatitis B as of 2022 has a infection rate of 2.2 million, or <em>1.5 million</em> lower than Hepatitis C.
Therefore, Hepatitis B is not the most common bloodborne pathogen.
