Answer:

A

Explanation:

Botulism and tetanus are both serious neurological infectious diseases in humans as well as animals. Botulism is caused by clostridium botulinum while tetanus is caused by clostridium tetani. Both organisms produce neurotoxins that act on nerves and eventually on muscles to cause respiratory failure.

The major difference between botulism and tetanus is that, in botulism, there is a characteristic descending flaccid paralysis. Signs and symptoms include; facial weakness, difficulty speaking, difficulty swallowing, drooling, shortness of breath and eventually respiratory paralysis.

Tetanus is characterized by spastic paralysis. Symptoms include; painful muscle contractions, fever, difficulty in breathing, difficulty in swallowing, and respiratory paralysis.

Setler [38]

The net force on the quarterback when he is hit by two linebackers running eastwards is 255N.

Force is a vector quantity, we must recall that if two forces act in the same direction, we obtain the net force by adding the two forces together. If two forces act in opposite direction, we obtain the net force by subtracting the forces from each other.

Since the both linebackers are running East, the net force is obtained as; 105 N + 150 N = 255 N.
