Chapter 19.4, Problem 1QTC
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The causes of botulism and its treatment.
Introduction:
Botulism is a chronic illness that results in flaccid paralysis of muscles. The cause of botulism is a neurotoxin, known as botulinum toxin, which is produced generally by the bacterium Clostridium. The toxin can block the release of a vital chemical acetylcholine from the motor nerve endings which play an important role in the transmission of the signal among the nerve cells.

Apart from food, plants need other nutrients like water and minerals.
Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair.
Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants.
7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from?
Plants make their own nitrogen.
B Plants get it from animals.
Plants get it from the soil.
D
