Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with pathogenicity and virulence.

Explanation:

The tendency of an organism or a microbe to harm the host, which eventually results in disease is termed as pathogenicity. The concept of pathogenicity signifies the genetic constituent of the pathogen and the destruction resulting in the host because of the association between the host and the pathogen like a microbe.  

While the extent to which a pathogen or a microbe causes pathogenicity to the host is termed as virulence. The degree of virulence is generally associated with the tendency of the microbe to proliferate within the host.

Answer: Pathogenicity; virulence

Explanation:

The pathogenicity of an organism ca be defined as the ability of the organism to cause disease. These organism can be bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungus, viroid et cetera.

The small animals like larvae of some insets and the insect itself can be harmful and cause disease.

The virulence can be defined as the level of severity which is caused by an organism. How much the organism is fatal for the life of the other organism. Like of the bacterial species like E.coli are less virulent and causes less damage to the body but some of the bacterial species are C. botulinum is more virulent and can even lead to the death of the person or animal.

HI~ I hope this helps

(these answers were hand-written meaning I did not copy and paste so, feel free to use the answers freely)

1.

When ecosystems change rapidly the fundamental environmental cycles such as the circulation of water, carbon and nutrients can change as ecosystems depend on them. The usage of factors such as freshwater, carbon dioxide emissions and fertilizer provides a large benefit to humas therefore meaning, that large and rapid changes to an ecosystem could also effect the things we as humans rely on.

2.  

Complex organic matter is broken down by decomposers into carbon dioxide, water etc. The ecosystem is affected based upon the fact that the decomposition of organic matter that is produced by plants, animals and soil organisms is an important process which affects the different important ecosystem processes like nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration.

3. (could have two answers- I recommend the second)

Adaptation- due to the mutation process which results in changes in the structure and function of organisms, these ecosystems would be different as well as unique. The organisms which possesses the traits needed to adapt could then survive as its unique characteristics due to mutation would provide a strong ability

Rise in temperature- If the temperature located on earth was to rise, organisms would have a higher living rate as bacterial life flourishes in warmer temperatures and dies out in colder ones.

4.

~The rapid change of increased food production provides better life sustainability to those living in the ecosystem.

~The rapid change in a large increasing number of organisms could be helpful as they often live of off one another.

5.

~Rapid growth of things such as phytoplankton which cause dead zones are harmful to the ecosystem. Dead zones create zones where too much oxygen is consumed resulting in areas where plants and sea life can no longer survive.

~Whereas the rapid increase of organisms could also be harmful to an ecosystem as the possibility of the organism outnumbering the food sources could become prominent.

What condition is required for viruses to reproduce?
Oduvanchick [21]
Viruses need to be inside a living thing (of course the living thing has to have the right temperature which most living things do) . When they're inside a living thing they start injecting the host's cells with its DNA in order to make more copies of itself which allows the virus to spread. So basically viruses need to be inside something living.

How do the unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids affect the structure of cell membranes?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Unsaturated fatty acids are a component of the phospholipids in cell membranes and help maintain membrane fluidity. The Phospholipids contain a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, when compressed, the “kinks” in their tails push adjacent phospholipid molecules away, that helps in maintain fluidity in the membrane. Unsaturated fatty acids have at least one double bond, creating a "kink" in the chain, the absence of double bonds decreases fluidity, making the membrane very strong and stacked tightly.

The ratio of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids determines the fluidity in the membrane at a temperature, at appropriate temperatures the phospholipids have enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding the membrane together, which increases membrane fluidity.
