Heating is a common method of sterilization in microbiology. It is not uncommon to see recommendations to boil water for safety when there is a problem with the water supply. However, boiling the potatoes used in the potato salad was not sufficient to prevent botulism in the outbreak described in the introductory passage. Which of the following is the best explanation for why boiling the potatoes was not sufficient to prevent botulism? a. Botulism food poisoning is caused by an infection with Clostridium botulinum that survives boiling in its vegetative form.
b. Botulism food poisoning is caused by endospores that survive boiling and then begin to grow and produce exotoxins that cause botulism.
c. Botulism food poisoning is caused by endotoxins that are present even after Clostridium botulinum bacteria are killed and that are not removed by boiling.
d. Botulism food poisoning is caused by endospores that survive boiling and then produce endotoxins that cause botulism.

Simulating adaptations in a species in this activity, you will discuss in detail the adaptations in a species of rain forest plants. you will build a simulation that explains the changes in the traits of the plant population over 10 years. you will also establish a scientific explanation to justify the changes in the traits of the population, * time to complete: 1-2 hours part a an organism's adaptations are specific to its native environment. an organism that lives in a coniferous forest will have different adaptations compared to an animal that lives in a tropical rain forest. the following graphs show the temperature and precipitation throughout the year for two different forests: a coniferous forest in canada, and a tropical rain forest in belize. evaluate the graphs, and then explain why plants from these two ecosystems will have different adaptations. in your answer, explain the survival challenges that plants face in these two environments.
