Answer:

They are intermediate hosts.

Explanation:

Disease-transmitting insects are called vectors.

The life cycle of disease-causing pathogens is closely linked to the biology of the insect that carries it.

 The symptoms of gongylonemiasis include  hemorrhagic inflammation  at the site the pathogen invades,  followed by  granulomatous tissue development that  produces nodules in the invaded organ.

Some diseases transmitted by insects occur in both humans and other mammals because our differences in anatomy and physiology are not very different.

It is unlikely that clinical symptoms will occur in humans if the insect were the definitive host, because our biology is quite different from their biology, and the pathogen would be adapted to fulfill its entire life cycle in their body.

3.a An antibiotic is added to a large population of bacteria. Explain why not all bacteria die?
drek231 [11]

Answer: Antibiotic Resistant Mutation

Explanation: Not all of the bacteria die because there are individuals in the population that have an antibiotic resistant mutation, which causes them to be adapted to dealing with the antibiotic. There will be a large population of bacteria again because the ones with the mutation survive, reproduce, and pass the antibiotic resistance trait on.

lana66690 [7]

Biological structures like DNA, proteins and cells all depend on molecules. ... Neurotransmitters like epinephrine are pretty simple molecules, but without them our nervous system couldn't work. Oxygen, containing just two oxygen atoms, is a very simple molecule, and it is certainly essential to living things.
