Strangler figs are plants that attach themselves to trees for their growth and support. They absorb nutrition from the host tree

and cause it to struggle to obtain sunlight and nutrients. Orchids are also plants that attach themselves to tropical trees. However, orchids don’t harm the host. Orchids obtain sunlight and moisture from their surroundings. What can you conclude from this situation?
Orchids are parasitic in nature and harm the host trees.
Strangler figs are commensals, and the host trees benefit from the strangler figs.
Orchids are commensal in nature.
Strangler figs are parasitic in nature.
Strangler figs and orchids both have mutually beneficial relationships with their host trees.

Answer: Orchids are commensal in nature.

Strangler figs are parasitic in nature.

Explanation:

Symbiotic relationships can be define as  interactions which occur in between the two distinct species. Such interactions can be either harmful or beneficial for the associating members.

Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species receives the benefit and the other species receives neither harm nor benefit.  Parasitism is a symbiotic relationship in which one species derives the benefit at an expense of the other species.

According to the situation given the Strangler figs absorb the nutrition from the host trees and they leave the host trees devoid of sunlight and nutrition. Here, Strangler figs are only receiving the benefit but the host trees are getting exploited therefore, it is an example of parasitism.

Orchids also live in symbiotic relationship with the tropical trees. But they receive sunlight and moisture from the surrounding this way the orchids are not causing any harm to the tropical trees. Therefore, it is an example of commensalism.

Answer:

Explanation:

You might not necessarily be any idiot as you think but what you failed to do before convincing your friends to come to the school was that you did not make appropriate findings if the school, the comfortability of your friends, their needs if then eventually come and transportation. Assuming you make these researches beforehand, you would have know what to to do and won't find yourself in the situation you find yourself now.

It is advisable you make proper, findings before taking a decision. You can still explain the situations to your friends.

Thanks

Last week I was assigned a thematic. We have groups of three but the people I was assigned with haven't been in school for days.

Hello,

Please find below a short summary on the subject you have been assigned. This will help you in completing your project and also give you an overview on the current research on this subject.

Food additives are chemical substances added to food in order to either maintain or improve its physical characteristics such as taste, texture, appearance and even freshness.

The long term effects that these substances have on the human body are still largely unstudied. According to the hypothesis called "chemical obesogen", these synthetic compounds are contributing factors to the global obesity epidemic.

Although evidence-based scientific research is still lacking, the support for this hypothesis is growing as many of these additives have been found to disturb the body's endocrine functions.

Furthermore, artificial preservatives used today may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. This has been shown by a study on mice in which the food additives known as emulsifiers (carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate-80) have been shown to affect the animal's health.

Due to these chemicals, the mice not only became obese but also developed metabolic problems such as glucose intolerance.  It seems that these chemicals affect the gut bacteria population in a negative way, as mice lacking gut bacteria did not become ill.

The mice study was followed by another study in which the human simulated through a series of flasks. Under the influence of the emulsifiers arboxymethylcellulose (E566 on EU labels) and polysorbate-80 (E433), the levels of bacterial protein called flagellin increased. This protein is known to cause inflammation at high concentrations. The next step in the study will be the first human trials.

Due to the long road our food takes from the farm to our table more extensive research is required. There are thousands of compounds that change the biochemical properties of the plants and animals that constitute our diet. The effects of the degradation and accumulation of these compounds are still unknown and thus many more studies and approaches are required in order to insure healthy food and stop the current obesity epidemic. Everything that is added to our food should be carefully analyzed.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

C. Larger compounds break down into two or more smaller compounds.

Explanation:

During a decomposition reaction, the bonds between the atoms break down in the starting substance. The atoms then rearrange to form new bonds, resulting in new substances with properties different from the starting material.
