A cluster of cases of legionellosis have occurred in your neighborhood. People with the illness have cough, fever, shortness of

breath, chest pain and sometimes diarrhea. The illness is caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, a facultative intracellular parasite that survives in certain ameba. The organism has an absolute requirement for L-cysteine. Typically, the organism is grown on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar. In some labs, samples containing suspected L. pneumophila are cultured on traditional BCYE medium as well as BCYE medium lacking L-cysteine. How would L. pneumohila be identified in this situation

Answer:

The correct answer is - comparing the presence of an essential component of the L. pneumophila that is cysteine.

Explanation:

As we know that L-cysteine is essential for the organism L. pneumophila to grow its colonies. The identification is easy in this situation by comparing the two cultured on the traditional BCYE medium and BCYE medicum without L-cysteine.

Colonies that grow on traditional BYCE medium are likely L. pneumophila as they required L-cysteine but not on BYCE medium lacking cysteine.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Obese

Explanation:

Obesity can occur at any age but in recent times more and more children are becoming obese. They develop an unhealthy relationship with food from a young age. Food rather than being a source of nutrition becomes just a source of sensory stimulation.

These children often chew very fast and swallow food without properly breaking it down. Thus they are not able to realize when they are full. They ignore the internal cues for hunger or fullness and keep eating to satisfy their palate. As a result, they become obese.
