Even if a microorganism is a part of the normal microbiota of a human being, it may cause the death of the person. For example, say E. coli, it resides in intestines and is harmful. But, if its number increases way too large, it may cause infection (Colitis) and even death. So, even the normal microflora needs to be  present in the controlled quantities, inside the body.

Answer:

The patient was immunocompromised or the microbiota moved to an unprotected sites in the patient.

Explanation:

<em>The normal member of the human microbiota can cause disease in immunocompromised individuals or when the microbiota move to an unprotected sites in the body of an individual.</em>

Immunocompromised individuals are those whose immune systems are not fully functional due to reasons such as genetic defects, taking of immunnosuppressive drugs, or infection by immune-targeting pathogens.  

Normal microbiota are known to be opportunistic pathogens that are capable of causing infections when a host becomes immunocompromised or when they moved from their regular habitats to an unprotected site within the body.

For example, <em>Staphylococcus epididermis</em> which happens to be one of the normal microbiota of the skin's epidermis might cause an infection if the surface of the skin breaks and the organism moves to the deeper lying tissues.

Hence, it could be that the patient was immunocompromised or the mirobiota moved to an unprotected sites within the body of the patient.

IceJOKER [234]

The protective covering of the brain that provides passageways for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to drain into the superior sagittal sinus is called the arachnoid mater.

 

To add, the arachnoid mater is the middle of three layers that make up the meninges, or membranes, that surround the spinal cord and brain.

Chemical reaction equations, such as the one for photosynthesis, show the reactants and products of a reaction. How does this si
Natali5045456 [20]

The right answer is It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate reactions.

It takes six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water to synthesize a molecule of glucose, releasing six molecules of oxygen, thanks to the light energy.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2


<u>But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:</u>

Light phase or photochemical phase:

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy (24 H).

The Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy (24 H) ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.
