The Secretory Systems of Type III and Type IV Pathogenic

Multiple Choice

The secretory systems of Type III and Type IV pathogenic bacteria differ in their mode of attacking cells in which of the following ways?

A) Type III systems bind to the cellular membrane by slimy mucilage and toxins diffuse across the membrane, whereas Type IV systems infect materials using pili as transfer tubes.
B) Type IV systems bind to the cellular membrane by slimy mucilage and toxins diffuse across the membrane, whereas Type III systems infect materials using pili as transfer tubes.
C) Both systems attach to cells in the same way but they differ merely in the chemicals that they inject into the host cell.
D) Type III systems use flagella modified as "syringes" to inject materials into cells they are infecting whereas Type IV systems use modified pili as transfer tubes.
E) Type IV systems use flagella modified as "syringes" to inject materials into cells they are infecting whereas Type III systems use modified pili as transfer tubes.
