Answer:

a. The protein is internalized by endocytosis.

b. The A chain binds to clathrin. The B chain interacts with SNARES

c. The A chain stimulates autophagy

d. The protein enters through pore complexes in the plasma membrane.

The correct option is a

The protein is internalized by endocytosis.

Explanation:

The protein is internalized by endocytosis because Ricin is a potent toxin gotten from lecithin. It internalised in the intracellular cell by endocytosis or substances are brought inside the cell and translocated into the cystosol which hereby inhibit protein synthesis and kill the internal cells. These internal toxins are transported to lysosomes for degradation

Why is vinegar used in food preservation?
weqwewe [10]
Vinegar is an extremely acidic liquid. Very few microorganisms (ie bacteria and fungus which cause foods to spoil) can survive in such an acidic environment. Among other effects, it can destroy their cell walls, and prevent their own enzymes working (enzymes are extremely pH sensitive). There are a small number of microorgamisms which are adapted to survive in extreme acidity. However, this adaptation prevents them from surviving in more 'normal' environments. Therefore, anything which can survive in the vinegar, will not likely survive on your kitchen surface, and the same is true the other way around. Therefore, as vitually nothing can colonise whatever is in the vinegar, the food will be very effectively preserved. . . . . . . . . . . you can say........................ . . the low pH a nd high acidity of vinegar destroy bacteria
