Based on the characteristics above, this toxin can be categorized as EXOTOXIN. These toxins (exotoxins) are produced by different types of bacteria.

Exotoxins are a broad category of proteins produced by bacteria that enter host cells in order to alter their physiological properties.

These toxins (exotoxins) can be secreted by Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria.

Examples of exotoxins include botulinum toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium botulinum</em> bacteria, tetanospasmin toxin secreted by <em>Clostridium tetani </em>bacteria, etc.

Write some differences between unisexual and bisexual organisms ​
Reika [66]

Answer:

Unisexual and bisexual organisms are differentiated based on the reproductive systems they posses. Unisexual organisms have separate sexes male or female. Male and female reproductive systems are present in different individuals hence unisexual organisms produce male or female gametes but never both. Bisexual organisms have both male and female reproductive systems within the same individual. Hence, they are capable of producing both types of gametes. Some flowers are unisexual, and they possess only pistils or stamens. Some flowers are bisexual, and they possess both stamens and pistils together. This is the difference between unisexual and bisexual organisms.
