This bacteria image is called Clostridium tetani?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given answer, True, is correct because Clostridium tetani is indeed a bacteria. It is a spore-forming bacterium that causes the disease tetanus. The bacteria can be found in soil, dust, and animal feces, and can enter the body through cuts or wounds. Tetanus is a serious condition that affects the nervous system and can cause muscle stiffness and spasms.

Correct Answer
D. Legionnaire's DiseaseExplanation
Legionnaire's Disease is caused by the bacteria Legionella pneumophila, which can be found in water sources like hot tubs, cooling towers, and plumbing systems. The disease is a severe form of pneumonia that can cause symptoms such as high fever, cough, shortness of breath, muscle aches, and headaches. It is typically contracted by inhaling droplets of water contaminated with the bacteria. Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, diarrhea is a symptom rather than a disease, and acne is a skin condition caused by clogged hair follicles.Rate this question:
