What is a toxin?
A toxin is a poison that is produced by bacterial pathogens and damages cells.
Are there toxic proteins in vegetables?
Some proteins can indeed be toxic. However, note that it is rare for a protein to be toxic.Yes pathogens produce and secrete toxic proteins to invade their host. Bacterial toxin such as hemolysin A, neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, tetanus toxin, Shiga toxin are all proteins. They are strongly antigenic can elicit immune response.
If a toxin such as a bacterial toxin destroys ribosomes what cellular activity will be affected first?
protein syntheisis b/c DNA----> RNA----> proteins from ribosomes
Why is ''botox'' an effective anti-wrinkle treatment.describe its mechanism of action with reference to the neuromuscular junction?
"Botox" is actually a poison. It prevents muscle movement by preventing the nerve impulse to travel from the neuron across the neuromuscular junction and prevents the muscle from contracting. It is the toxin produced by the microbe that causes botulism.
Under what circumstances was Wilson disease first identifed?

Some proteins can indeed be toxic. However, note that it is rare for a protein to be toxic.Yes pathogens produce and secrete toxic proteins to invade their host. Bacterial toxin such as hemolysin A, neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, tetanus toxin, Shiga toxin are all proteins. They are strongly antigenic can elicit immune response.
How does botulism toxin affect the neuromuscular junction?
It affects the axon terminal, by blocking the release of acetylcholine , thus preventing an action potential from occurring.
What is a disease caused by a pathogen or its toxin?
INFECTION

When bacteria produce a disease by making a chemical that is released from the bacterial cell the chemical is known as what?
toxin
Is phlyctenulosis contagious?
