ANSWER FOR QUESTION 1:
The most common type of E. coli infection that causes illness in people is called E. coli O157, which produces a toxin known as Shiga-toxin. Shiga-toxin producing E. coli is abbreviated as STEC. Symptoms of infection with this germ include watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting.
ANSWER FOR QUESTION 2:
Some other germs don’t cause as many illnesses, but when they do, the illnesses are more likely to lead to hospitalization. Those germs include: Anyone can get sick from eating contaminated food. Follow four simple food safety steps —clean, separate, cook, and chill—to lower your chance of food poisoning and to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.
Explanation:
<u>Cholesterol</u> is a steroid lipid and is a constituent of biological membranes. It regulates the <em>fluidity</em> of the membrane (so, option C is not correct). Since cell membranes are composed of another type of lipids, the phospholipids, which form a bilayer, cholesterol distributes between the phospholipid tails and avoids these molecules pack each other forming rigid clusters. Thus, the option which better explains the effect is <em>D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.</em>
Answer:
The cell theory was given by Schwann and Schleiden. The fact that cells can be observed in plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria and archea comes from one of the postulates of cell theory- All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.
Explanation:
The cell theory initially contained three postulates:
- The cell is the basic unit of organization in all organisms.
- All living organisms contain one or more than one cell.
- All cells arise from cells which are already in existence.
The discovery of cell was made by Robert Hooke. Later after further observations, more points were added to the cell theory like
- The genetic component of the cell is DNA and is transferred within cells.
- The <em>chemical composition</em> of all the cells is similar.
- A flow of <em>energy</em> occurs within the cells.
Answer:
Combustion,respiration
Explanation:
Carbon is the major element in the dry matter of all living things. Respiration by both plants and animals converts some of the organic compounds into carbon dioxide. The latter is released to the atmosphere and reused by green plants.
When plants and animals die, their carbon compounds are converted into carbon dioxide by the action of saprophytic bacteria and fungi. The carbon dioxide is released back to the atmosphere.
When coal, natural gas and oil are combusted as fuels they release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
