Biology Questions

The Bacteria that causes Food Borne illness are called Food Borne Pathogens. Most of the pathogens are mesophilic in nature, optimum temperature may be around 20-45 degree celsius. This range of temperatures is often called the "Danger Zone." Dry foods do not support the growth of bacteria.

In order to kill pathogenic bacteria you need temperatures above 74ºC. Temperature is the easiest factor to control in order to prevent bacterial growth.

The support cells of the nervous system are Glia, also called glial cells or neuroglia. In the central nervous system, there are four types of supporting cells. They are ::

* Astrocytes

* Microglial cells

* Ependymal cells

* Oligodendrocytes

Cholesterol belongs to lipids class of molecules. Lipids are sometimes called as fats which act as storing energy and structural components of cell membranes.

A neuron or nerve cell is a cell that carries electrical impulses. Neurons are the basic units of the nervous system and its most important part is the brain. Every neuron is made of a cell body (also called a soma), dendrites and an axon. Dendrites and axons are nerve fibres.

The gap between two communicating neurons is termed Synaptic cleft.

Genes: The DNA is the genetic material. The DNA is made of several nucleotides. A nucleotide means, one nitrogenous base one sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule. These Nucleotides occur in sequences and several nucleotides form one gene ( a functional gene is called a cistron)

Mumps: This is a swelling caused by inflammation of parotid glands placed in front of our ear region. The Inflammation is caused by a virus.

The correct pairing of DNA bases among the given options is guanine - cytosine.
