Which country loaded botulism toxins into bombs? Why is botulism of less concern than anthrax or plague?

Answer:

Botulism is a rare, but life threatening infection caused by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum which spreads through contaminated food, soil, or through open wounds. Ingestion of bacterial spores and toxins are the main reasons behind the symptoms. Symptoms vary depending on the type of botulism. Medications and infected tissue removal methods are available to remove the bacterial toxins.

Explanation:

You are concerned with surveying the protozoa in the arboretum soil. While most commonly thought to live exclusively in aquatic environments, protozoa can play an important role in the nutrient cycling that takes place in soil. In addition, protozoa can help maintain the proper balance of bacterial populations within soil, as bacteria are a primary source of food for protozoa. Protozoa are extremely diverse. However, there are three characteristics common to all organisms called protozoa. What are these three characteristics

Preparing Informative Presentations

There are a variety of reasons a person presents a speech. Perhaps the most common reason is to present timely or useful information to an audience.

Such speeches are called expository speeches, and they rely on the effective transfer of information to listeners. An expository speech could be a definition speech, which explains an object, person, or event. It could also be a demonstration speech, which explains to the audience how to complete a process or task. A successful informative presentation depends on a few key steps that will help you prepare, inform, engage, and educate.



Based on the tips in the article, come up with a topic of your own that would make an interesting demonstration speech?
