- The imaginary organism Flovis marvo is found in the upper airway of most adults. Its role may change depending on the human host. Make the best match of the correct term to each scenario below. There is just one best match for each scenario, use each choice just one time ("forced match"). F. marvo in the airway neither helps nor harms the person. If the airway becomes inflamed from the common cold, F. marvo multiplies more rapidly and now causes death of nearby mucosal cells. F. marvo synthesizes an enzyme that hydrolyzes secretory IgA in the mucosal barrier. F. marvo can tell when it has reached a large population. In the large population, cells of F. marvo begin to synthesize an enzyme that hydrolyzes the mucus itself.…arrow_forwardA boy with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy developedpulmonary edema (accumulation of fluid in the lungs) and pneumoniacaused by a bacterial infection. His physician diagnosed the conditionin the following way: The pulmonary edema was the result of heartfailure, and the increased fluid in the lungs provided a site wherebacteria could invade and grow.
