In a hypothetical situation, a bacterium lives on the surface of a leaf, where it obtains nutrition from the leaf's nonliving, w

axy covering while inhibiting the growth of other microbes that are plant pathogens. If this bacterium gains access to the inside of a leaf, however, it causes a fatal disease in the plant. Once the plant dies, the bacterium and its offspring decompose the plant. What is the correct sequence of ecological roles played by the bacterium in the situation described here?

Answers:

First lets add the missing piece of information

Use only those that apply.

1. nutrient recycler

2. mutualist

3. commensal

4. parasite

5. primary producer

A) 1, 3, 4

B) 2, 3, 4

C) 2, 4, 1

D) 1, 2, 5

E) 1, 2, 3

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C)

C) 2, 4, 1

Explanation:

Mutualism is a form of symbiotic relationship in which both organisms that takes part in the relationship benefits from the relationship without one causing one harm or the other. In this case study, a bacterium lives on the surface of a leaf, where it obtains nutrition from the leaf's nonliving, waxy covering while inhibiting the growth of other microbes that are plant pathogens- both benefits from the relationship.

A Parasite is an organism that lives in or depends on another organism, by starving the organism of nutrients e.t.c. Here, If this bacterium gains access to the inside of a leaf, however, it causes a fatal disease in the plant - bacterium is the parasite and the leaf is the host.

A nutrient recycler specializes in the process of exchange of organic and inorganic matter back into the formation of matter. In this scenario, Once the plant dies, the bacterium and its offspring decompose the plant- bacterium is the nutrient recycler.

How will you determine which strain is wild type and which strain is mutant? Can you justify your answers using molecular biolog
Levart [38]

Answer: The simplest way is to determine if a strain is mutant is observing morphology, growth rate, double time, etc but it is accurate if you can prove if the strain is deficient in one aminoacid or can't metabolize lactose, etc.

Explanation: A wildtype strain functions normally, for example, can metabolize as a carbon source, glucose, lactose and other sugars, can synthesize all the aminoacids requered for protein synthesis, etc. If a strain suffers a mutation and it is inheritable, the strain become a mutant. Since several mutations can be silent ones, only those that interfere with a process, can be assesed easyly.

For example, if you have several strains and put them in a lactose medium, but some of them cannot growth means that are lactose mutants. Those strains could carry a mutation in genes that encode lactose degrading enzymes or in regulatory genes of the lac operon, etc.

Help pls- <br><br> compare and contrast evaporation and boiling
DENIUS [597]
So the simple answer would be evaporation is slow and can only occur through the surface of a liquid and it cools it down, while boiling is fast and produces bubbles ( evaporation does not ) and it occurs throughout the liquid and doesn’t cool it down. A similarity between the two would be water vapor is given off
Both the processes of evaporation and boiling result in a change from liquid to vapor.

hope this is what u we’re looking for and this helps !! :)
