Answer: hepatitis C.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, it's most likely that the person has been exposed to hepatitis C.

Hepatitis C is an infection that is caused when a virus attacks the liver which leads to the inflammation of the liver. Since the person reaches the scene of a car accident, it's possible that the EMT got in contact with the contaminated blood. In this case, he most likely have been exposed to hepatitis C.

. While Carl Linnaeus catalogued nearly all known organisms of his day, which major group of organisms did he not account for in
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Single-cell organisms

Explanation:

In 1735, Linnaeus introduced a classification system with only two kingdoms: animals and plants. Linnaeus published this system for naming, ranking, and classifying organisms in the book "Systema Naturae". In the epoch that Linnaeus created this system, single-cell organisms such as bacteria and protists were almost unknown. In 1866, E. Haeckel added a category including both bacteria and protozoa, thereby adding a category formed by single-cell organisms (different from animals and plants). During the 1900-1920 period, bacteria were classified as a separated kingdom named 'prokaryotes'. The current three-domain classification system was introduced by C. Woese in 1990. In this system, all forms of life are divided into three different domains: archaea, bacteria, and eukaryote domains (this last composed of protists, fungi, plants and animals).
