Answer:

The most seriously and irreversibly affected organs are heart, kidney, lung pancreas and spleen.

Explanation:

Virus, bacteria and fungi are the main causes of sepsis. Insertion of a tube into vein leads to the entry of bacteria into blood stream. During this period there is a release of certain immune chemicals into the bloodstream which further leads to the formation of blood clots and leaky blood vessels. As a result blood flow gets compromised and that leads to the deprivation of oxygen and the main nutrients needed in the organ to function leads to organ damage. Sepsis results from an infection which is confined to one organ of body such as lung, skin & abdomen.

Symptoms of Sepsis:

Fever
Chills
Rashes
Confusion
Disorientation
Fast breathing & heart rate

Diagnosis of Sepsis:

Blood tests are done to detect whether there is an abnormal no.of white blood cells, presence of bacteria or any other infectious agents
Chest X ray and CT scan is done for detecting the location of infection

Treatment of Sepsis:

Doctors treat the patient suffering from sepsis in ICU. Their main role is to prevent the drop in blood pressure, infection and prevent the vital organs. They use antibiotic medications and fluids Most severely affected patients will need surgery, dialysis and breathing tubes for the removal of infection.

The answer would be: C) sexual selection.
Sexual selection happens where one of the individuals choose the partner to sex based on some criteria. In this case, the ability to have a beautiful bower will determinate the ability of the bird to have sex and produce offspring. The criteria are not limited to visual. It could be diverse in other cases, like a deeper croak in frog

You are examining a field of crop plants and notice that many of the leaves have small scattered necrotic spots on them, but non

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Avirulent.

Explanation:

VIRULENCE is the ability of a pathogenic organism to infects the host, leading to damages or death of the host. The extent of these virulent effect depends on certain chemical substances ( called Virulence factors) produced during the pathogenic processes.

The virulence effects is achieved due to the ability of the virulent factor to disrupt the entire physiological mechanisms of the organisms; e,g crop plants; though suppression of the host immune response, disruptions of the immune mechanisms, colonization of the host DNA structure etc. Therefore the pathogenic effects suppressed the host resistance and spread throughout the host body system.

In this present scenario, the pathogenic effect of the likable bacteria; is not virulent, because

none of the d crop pant is completely diseased.

the nascent intenodes and leaves are growing to usual size.

Consequently, the physiological and the morphological features of the crop plants are still intact. Thus the infection is AVIRULENT.
