Answer:
A source from which organisms generally take elements is called exchange pool (option B).
Explanation:
Options for this question are:
- <em>Food web.</em>
- <em>Exchange pool.</em>
- <em>Reservoir.</em>
- <em>Biotic community.</em>
The term exchange pool is related to the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature, referring to the source from which elements present in the environment become part of living organisms.
<u>Exchange pools are the biotic components</u> -like animals and plants- of an ecosystem, which determine the passage of elements between living beings. An element can remain as a reservoir (abiotic) in the soil, and then be incorporated into the exchange pool.
Answer:
The difference would be that Mercury has a denser, warmer atmosphere and Earth has a not that dense and gassy atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere also has a lot of layers while Mercury's doesn't. Those would be the reasons for them both being different. Hope this helped!
Explanation:
Answer:
12
Explanation:
Suppose the four different strains are P, Q, R, S. Thus, the first infection can be from any of the four strains and it occurs in 4 ways.
Since an individual cannot be infected again with the strain from which he/she is been previously infected;
Then, at the second time;
The possible number of strain to be infected with = 4-1 = 3 ways
Thus; the number of possible different levels of severity can be viewed by forming two lettered word P, Q, R, and S without repetition which is:
= 4 × 3
= 12
Answer:
The correct answer is OPTION B (b. Yes—the initial infection might be acute but the virus can later become latent by becoming integrated into the host cell genome).
Explanation:
The hepatitis B virus has an unusual feature similar to retroviruses. This makes it deadly and difficult to treat when it is at an advanced stage. It basically attacks the liver and can cause both an acute and persistent infection.
In the acute stage, the cells are newly attacked and the body is fighting it off, the symptoms might start showing depending on how long it has invaded the body. These symptoms include dark urine, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), the liver can still fail at this stage causing death.
At the persistent stage, which is already chronic, the invaded cells have been weakened, the symptoms are slow to resolve therefore it is in a prolonged stage which can lead to liver cancer and eventual death.
