Option D, groundwater adds water to lakes, rivers, and oceans, is the right answer.

Water held under the ground in the earth or in vesicles and cracks in the rock is known as the ground-water. Alternatively, the groundwater is the water found under the surface of the earth and in the clefts of rock deposits. The groundwater is usually less expensive, more accessible and less exposed to con-tamination than outside water. Therefore, it is used to meeting the need for public water supplies. Moreover, the groundwater adds water to lakes, rivers, and oceans, which becomes accessible to rural people and other living beings.

A sustainable system refers to producing less or probably non-existent debris that are caused by the production of a particular material (i.e. produce, energy). This is a sustainable form of production of coupling algae growth and fish farming because you no longer need the supply of fish feed from other sources that are made artificially but rather, you are using the available algae growth that you are culturing. Farm fishing alone is non-renewable because this produces much waste that can directly harm the environment.

Goryan [66]

Answer:

Microorganisms which causes diseases is known as pathogen.

Explanation:

PATHOGEN -: Pathogens are agents that live in a host and are responsible for causing infections or diseases in that host, such as a human being. Microorganisms such as bacteria , viruses , fungi or protozoa, or other organisms such as parasites, worms and even contagious proteins such as prions, may be pathogens.

Viruses: Viruses are micro-organisms that are composed of nucleic acid and covered by a protein sheet. A lipid (fatty) outer layer is also present in some viruses. Enveloped viruses are called these. Non-enveloped viruses are considered those that do not have this lipid outer layer. Only inside their host's living cells are viruses able to replicate. EXAMPLE -: Influenza (influenza A and B viruses) and the common cold (rhinovirus) are examples of infections caused by viruses.

Bacteria: These are microorganisms which have a nucleus containing DNA surrounded by a cell wall or membrane. Among bacteria, the composition of the cell wall differs. If they are able to access food and nutrients, they have a more complex structure than viruses and can multiply beyond the host. EXAMPLE -: Foodborne diseases can be caused by bacteria such as Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli, while Staphylococcus aureus can cause skin infections.

Fungi: Fungi are single-celled or multicelled species that can live outside a host. They consume food and nutrients created after digestive enzymes have been secreted into their atmosphere. example-:  The foot of the athlete (Trichophyton mentagrophytes) and yeast infections (Candida albicans) are examples of infections caused by fungi.

Prions: These are infectious agents made up entirely of proteins and capable of transferring to other prion proteins their infectious properties. EXAMPLE -: Extreme infectious diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) can be caused by prions.

Protozoa: Protozoa are single-celled organisms that display habits that are similar to animals, such as the ability to travel through water, and are capable of harvesting other microorganisms. They are able to live outside the human host, but when they enter the human host and spread, causing infections and diseases, they may also be parasitic in nature.  EXAMPLE -: Malaria and giardia include common infections

Yes , pathogen enter into the body directly -: Direct contact infections spread when, through direct physical contact with blood or body fluids, disease-causing microorganisms move from the infected person to the healthy person. Touching, kissing, sexual contact, contact with oral secretions, or contact with bodily lesions are examples of direct contact.
INCUBATION PERIOD OF A PATHOGEN -:The period of incubation is the interval between exposure to a pathogenic organism, a drug, or radiation, and when the first signs and symptoms are evident.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Generally, cells have the ability to independently replicate themselves. In a cell, the "workers" that perform various functions or tasks for the survival of the living organism are referred to as organelles. Some examples of cell organelles in all living organisms such as trees, birds, and bacteria include; nucleus, cytoplasm, cell membrane, golgi apparatus, mitochondria, lysosomes, ribosomes, chromosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, vesicles, cytoskeleton, etc.

Cytoskeleton refers to a structure consisting of filaments and tubules which help to maintain internal organization and support the shape of the cells. It comprises of three (3) main filaments and these includes: actin filaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules.

Generally, there are numerous evidence that cytoskeletal elements have ancient origins and they include all of the aforementioned facts.
