Answer:
<em>a. What is the significance of the rainfall? </em>These bacteria resist desiccation, and its dispersion is favored by winds. A decrease in rainfall means a dryer environment, which the bacteria can resist and makes it easier for the cell to be carried somewhere else by winds.
<em>b. The etiologic agent of the disease is </em><em>Coxiella burnetii</em>
<em>c. This is an example of</em> a zoonosis
Explanation:
Q fiber Pneumonia is a zoonosis world-widely distributed and of global importance, which etiologic agent is <em>Coxiella bunetti</em><em>.</em>
- Zoonosis: Referred to as the infectious diseases that are naturally transmitted from animals to human beings. Among zoonotic pathogens, there are bacteria, viruses, or parasites. They propagate by direct contact, water, and wind, among others. These diseases represent a global importance problem due to the close ties with animals. Zoonotic diseases increase even more as human being keeps dispersing and invading natural wild environments to raise cattle and farm, among other activities.
- The etiologic agent is the element that propitiates the origin and evolution of a disease. Many bacteria and viruses might be considered to be one of the most common etiological agents.
Populations in contact with goats, sheep, and cattle, use to have a positive result for antibodies against <em>Coxiella burnetii</em>. This bacteria is transmitted to humans orally and by inhalation. The microorganisms resist extreme conditions and are highly infectious. The inhalation of only one cell can produce an important infection in the host. It resists desiccation and any other environmental degradation. They can persist for several months and be transported by winds to farther places. This makes it even more difficult to determine the epidemiologic origin.

In animals and plants, there are two pairs of chromosomes - one set from a male and the other set from a female. But occasionally, the original fertilized cell doesn't quite divide correctly and more than two sets arises. The fertilized cell continues to divide with the result that all the cells have the extra set of chromosomes. This happens much oftener in plants and the plant will be sterile and can't form seeds.

Hi,are the answers and explanations;
- A flower is responsible for facilitating pollination in a plant.It contains petals that attract insects for pollination.In has the male and female producing gametes for plants thus in facilitating the transfer of pollen grains from anthers to the stigma for pollination to occur
- The pistil and stamen location are position in a manner that pollen grains can be transferred from the anthers to the stigma with help of agents of pollination such as wind and animal.
- Flowers have nectar which is used by bees and other small flying insects in making of honey.The insects enter into the flower when attracted by bright petals. .Both organisms here benefit mutually thus it is called mutualism
- Flowers have bright colors and contain strong odor to attract insects who are agents of pollination.Insects are attracted to visit a flower in search of nectar if the color of the petals are bright and have a good scent.Dull colored petals attract less or no insect thus face difficulty in pollination process because insects as agents of pollination will not facilitate the process in dull colored petals.
- The ovary becomes the fruit while the ovules become the seeds.In a flower, the ovary that houses the ovules will develop into the fruit of the plant.In the ovary, there are ovules which will develop into seeds of the fruit for the plant.
- Pollen grains acts as the male sex cells in the flower that are transferred to the stigma to meet the female sex cells.The pollen grains are produced by the anthers and could be deposited on the female sex cells by agents of pollination such as wind, insects or animals.
- Fertilization takes place in the ovary of the female flower. The pollen grains from the anthers are transferred to the stigma of the female parts by agents of pollination such as insects.At the stigma tip, a pollen tube develops and grows down. The male sex cells then travel down the style into the ovary where fertilization takes place.
- Fruits carry the seeds of a flowering plant.A fruit is a fleshy r dry tissue that surround the seeds of a flowering plant and could be edible.Fruits harden to make seed access difficult thus protecting the seeds.Fruits facilitate dispersion process when transferred from place to place by water or animals.
- Male part of a plant flower is called stamen.The stamen is made up of the anthers and filament of the flower.The stamen is responsible for the production of male sex cells.The filament holds the anthers into position to facilitate pollination where as the anthers contains the pollen grains which are the male sex cells.
- The Pistil is the female part of the plant flower.It is composed of the stigma, style, ovary and ovules.The stigma is a landing stage for the pollen grains from the anthers.The style holds the stigma into position to receive the male gametes.The ovary carry the seeds/ ovules and develops into the fruit of the plant.The ovules develop into the seeds of the plant.
- A flower pollinated by insects will have more pollen grains.The insects rubs its body as it sucks nectar in the flower carrying most of the pollen grains on its body.When on the stigma, the pollen are deposited there in sure amounts.However, in wind pollination, most grains are dispersed by wind without reaching the stigma.
- It is better for a plant flower to have another flower pollen grains fertize it. This is cross pollination and it comes with advantages such as development of a new breed of plants, it facilitates development of high resistant plants and can results to plants that have favorable and improved traits as compared to original species.
- Carbon-dioxide gas enters the leaf through the stomata where as water vapor leaves the leaf. Stomata are tiny pores that allow for gases exchange in the leaf.
- Stomata are important to plants because they facilitate the exchange of gases in the leaf.The plant takes in carbon-dioxide through the leaf and release oxygen to the atmosphere.In addition, stomata aid in transpiration process, where plant loose excess water in their tissues to the environment.
- Most plants have their stomata opened during the day than at night to facilitate intake of carbondioxide which is essential for the process of photosynthesis.During the day, sunlight is present thus with enough carbondioxide intake , plants a can make enough sugars for use.
- The stomata can be closed during the day in cases where the temperatures are too high causing excessive loss of water from the plant through the leaves. Such a situation could result to plant wilting thus the plant mechanism could close the stomata to maintain the stored water and avoid wilting.
- Meristematic cells trigger the growth of new cells in the young seedlings at the tip of roots and shoots and forming buds.These group of cells have the ability of division and re-division.
In an ecosystem, the energy is transferred between the organisms participating in the food webs from producers and consumers.
The percentage of energy transferred to the deer after feeding on the grass is 10%.
The 10% law of the energy states that:
1. The food chain at each trophic level passes or transmits only 10% of the energy and 90% of the energy is lost as heat.
2. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases, such that the producers if consuming the 100 J of energy, the deers or primary consumers at the first trophic level will have only 10% of the energy.
Thus, the deer will possess only 10% of the energy at each trophic level, following the 10% law.
The correct answer is Option C.
