Final answer:
Exotoxins are made up of proteins and highly specific in their actions, whereas endotoxins are part of the lipopolysaccharide complex, with the lipid A component inducing a systemic inflammatory response. The correct answer is C) Lipids vs Proteins.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exotoxins and endotoxins are two different types of toxins produced by pathogenic bacteria. Exotoxins are protein molecules produced by a variety of living pathogenic bacteria. They are highly specific in their action, targeting specific cells and receptors and they are heat labile, which means they can be denatured at relatively low temperatures. On the other hand, endotoxins are part of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) complex, specifically the lipid A component, found on the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Endotoxins are more stable at high temperatures and induce a general systemic inflammatory response when released into the body.
The correct answer to the question 'What are exo vs endotoxins made up of?' is C) Lipids vs Proteins.
