Answer:

A) coagulase

Explanation:

Diseases caused by <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> may be due to direct tissue invasion, or exclusively due to toxins produced.

The mechanism of invasion of <em>S. aureus</em>, in the first moment, depends directly on the fact that this bacterium adheres to the skin or mucosa, thanks to coagulase (a component of the cell surface that ensures adherence to the epithelia), to then break through the barriers of the epithelium, compromising intercellular link structures, as desmosomes and adhesion joints.

After invasion of the epithelium, <em>S. aureus</em> uses several strategies to enable their survival and proliferation in the host organism, corresponding to the other virulence factors.

The interdependent evolution of two interacting species is known as: A. natural selection. B. ecology. C. coevolution. D. mutual
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. co-evolution

Explanation:

When two or more species evolution is influenced by each other and are interdependent than this type of evolution is known as co-evolution. There are several examples of co-evolution like predator-prey co-evolution, flowering plants and pollinators evolution, etc.

The predator-prey evolution is famous in which there is selective pressure on prey to evolve to avoid getting hunted and the same pressure is on predator to evolve with prey so that they can get their food and survive. Therefore the correct answer is co-evolution.

Answer:

The 2 ways abiotic factors affect biotic factors are as follows:

  1. An alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer.
  2. A naked mole rat creates burrows underground.

Explanation:

Abiotic Factors:

All non-living factors that is present or influences an ecosystem. Abiotic factors determine the dynamics of an ecosystem such as the terrain, the atmosphere as well as the inhabitant flora and fauna. Water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and soil are all abiotic factors.

Biotic Factors:

All living factors in an ecosystem i.e. the plants and animals.

Lets analyze all the options:

  • A bird picking food out of an alligator's teeth is an interaction between 2 biotic factors, the bird and the alligator or in another case, the bird and the food.
  • Water being oxygenated is an interaction between 2 abiotic factors: water and oxygen.
