Question: Endotoxins and exotoxins are both bacterial virulence factors that can affect the infected host. sort the following descriptions as to whether they apply to endotoxins, exotoxins, or both.

- They are released from the bacterial cell wall. (Endotoxins)

- They are proteins that can bind to specific receptors on host cells. (Exotoxins)

- They can cause fever, inflammation, and septic shock. (Both)

- They can be neutralized by antibodies. (Exotoxins)

- They are heat-stable and resistant to degradation. (Endotoxins)

- They have a high degree of specificity and potency. (Exotoxins)

- They can activate the complement system and coagulation cascade. (Both)

- They are produced by both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. (Exotoxins)

- They are composed of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). (Endotoxins)

- They can act as superantigens and stimulate excessive immune responses. (Exotoxins)
