In a hypothetical situation, a bacterium lives on the surface of a leaf, where it obtains nutrition from the leaf's nonliving, w

axy covering while inhibiting the growth of other microbes that are plant pathogens. If this bacterium gains access to the inside of a leaf, however, it causes a fatal disease in the plant. Once the plant dies, the bacterium and its offspring decompose the plant. What is the correct sequence of ecological roles played by the bacterium in the situation described here? Use only those that apply.

Answer:

1. nutrient recycler

2. mutualist

4. parasite

Option C

Explanation:

Nutrient recycler: The bacterial decompose the dead plant and release the organic elements back to soil or air. The organic matter present in the dead plant parts is decomposed and the carbon is released into the air. Similarly, other nutrients stored in the dead plant are decomposed by the bacteria and are released into the environment so that they can enter the nutrient cycles.  

Mutualist: The bacteria living on the surface of leaf obtains nutrition from it. The plant is benefited by this association since the bacteria prevents the invasion of other pathogens in the plant. An ecological interaction wherein both the species are benefited is called mutualism.

Parasite: Once the bacteria enter the leaf, it causes disease to the plant. Here, the plant is the host while the bacteria is a parasite. The plant is harmed while bacterial obtains nutrition from the plant.

Are humans affected by natural selection?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Yes! A recent example could be babies that do not survive child birth for a certain reason, are obviously unable to pass on whatever caused them to die in the first place.
Also, once humans started to domesticate cows and drink their milk (I'm not sure why humans drink a cow's milk) their bodies evolved to continue making the enzyme to digest milk even after they were weaned off their mothers milk. Many people of Asian descend do not have this enzyme, since their culture did/does not raise as much dairy product.

Triggering of the muscle action potential occurs after
vekshin1

Triggering of the muscle action potential occurs after Ach binds to chemically gated channels in the motor end plate membrane. Acetylcholine (Ach) is a neurotransmitter produced by nerve cells.

An action potential is an electrical signal that travels along the cell membrane as a wave.

This action potential (muscle action potential) drives the contraction of muscle fibers.

When the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction (i.e., the motor end-plate), acetylcholine (Ach) is released into the synaptic cleft.

Subsequently, Ach can bind and open specific channels localized on the surface of the muscle cells, thereby depolarizing them and triggering muscle contraction.
