The choroid stains dark as it contains pigments and blood vessels. It is

located underneath the retina. It  also lies between the retina and the sclera.

The choroids are very rich in connective tissues( blood vessels) which help

supply the retina with vital nutrients needed for proper eyesight.

The choroids are usually thickest at the extreme rear end of the eye and also helps to maintain a constant eye temperature and volume. This is

important to prevent changes in eye size and temperature which may cause

eye destruction and diseases .

Answer:

There will be more female offspring.

Explanation:

I expect there to be more female offspring because global ocean and air temperatures rise annually. This is caused by environmental issues.

Why are some pathogenic bacteria able to make toxins?
Angelina_Jolie [31]
A pathogen is a microorganism that is able to cause disease in a plant, animal or insect. Pathogenicity is the ability to produce disease in a host organism. Microbes express their pathogenicity by means of their virulence, a term which refers to the degree of pathogenicity of the microbe. Hence, the determinants of virulence of a pathogen are any of its genetic or biochemical or structural features that enable it to produce disease in a host.

The relationship between a host and a pathogen is dynamic, since each modifies the activities and functions of the other. The outcome of such a relationship depends on the virulence of the pathogen and the relative degree of resistance or susceptibility of the host, due mainly to the effectiveness of the host defense mechanisms. Staphylococcus aureus, arguably the most prevalent pathogen of humans, may cause up to one third of all bacterial diseases ranging from boils and pimples to food poisoning, to septicemia and toxic shock.

The Underlying Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogenicity

Two broad qualities of pathogenic bacteria underlie the means by which they cause disease:
1. Invasiveness is the ability to invade tissues. It encompasses mechanisms for colonization (adherence and initial multiplication), production of extracellular substances which facilitate invasion (invasins) and ability to bypass or overcome host defense mechanisms.

2. Toxigenesis is the ability to produce toxins. Bacteria may produce two types of toxins called exotoxins and endotoxins. Exotoxins are released from bacterial cells and may act at tissue sites removed from the site of bacterial growth. Endotoxins are cell-associated substance. (In a classic sense, the term endotoxin refers to the lipopolysaccharide component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria). However, endotoxins may be released from growing bacterial cells and cells that are lysed as a result of effective host defense (e.g. lysozyme) or the activities of certain antibiotics (e.g. penicillins and cephalosporins). Hence, bacterial toxins, both soluble and cell-associated, may be transported by blood and lymph and cause cytotoxic effects at tissue sites remote from the original point of invasion or growth. Some bacterial toxins may also act at the site of colonization and play a role in invasion. Acid-fast stain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the agent of tuberculosis (TB). The bacteria are the small pink-staining rods. More than one-third of the world population is infected. The organism has caused more human deaths than any other bacterium in the history of mankind. Although its ability to produce disease is multifactorial, it is not completely understood. American Society of Microbiology, with permission.

Can i get help on this?
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Chloroplasts - green structure found only in plants cells

Golgi Apparatus - packages and moves proteins

Semi-permeable membrane - outer layer of animal cell, controls movement in and out of the cell

Endoplasmic reticulum - has smooth and rough types

Ribosomes - synthesize proteins

Cell wall - outer layer of plant cell and provides support

The semi-permeable membrane can also be called plasma membrane.
