Answer:

1. It is now illegal to import or purchase Burmese pythons in Florida. Probably, at some point, python owners who no longer wanted to care for them let them go in the Everglades. By the mid-1990s, the pythons had established a breeding population.

2. There have been no human deaths from wild-living Burmese pythons in Florida. Overall, the risk of attack is very low. ... The simplest and most sure-fire way to reduce the risk of human fatalities is to avoid interacting with a large constrictor.

Explanation:

Burmese pythons are not poisonous snakes, however they are constrictors, coiling around their prey and squeezing the life out of it. The officials in the state of Florida are extremely concerned about the invasion of these large snakes and their ability to take over most of the Everglades.

Answer:

The short answer is yes the introduced pythons are a problem.

Explanation:

Animal species through their adaptation and natural selection over such long periods of time, adjusted themselves according to their natural habitats. Burmese pythons' natural habitat is Southeast Asia and although Florida may suit the burmese pythons' needs in terms of climate, the other species living there are not adapt to having burmese pythons' in their habitat which disrupts their food chain because burmese pythons' can reach lengths of 20 feet so yes the introduced pythons are a problem.

I hope this answer helps.

How are viruses different from bacteria? APEX
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Bacteria are unicellular microorganisms that can be found everywhere in the environment. Viruses are microorganisms that can only reproduce within the cells of a host organism.

The differences between viruses and bacteria include;  

  1. Viruses do not have any cell and are considered between living and non-living things, while bacteria have one cell (Unicellular) and are living organisms.
  2. Viruses are smaller in size (20-400 nm) when compared with bacteria (1000 nm).
  3. Viruses do not have a cell wall but a protein coat is present, while bacteria have a cell wall that is composed of peptidoglycan.
  4. Viruses require a living cell to reproduce, while bacteria can reproduce by itself.
  5. The DNA or RNA of viruses is enclosed inside a coat of protein, while that of bacteria floats freely in the cytoplasm within the cell.
