Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that was discovered in 1986 in the brain of the baboon that dies in San Diego Wild Animal Park. This can be found in the soil and water, therefore it is freely living. It is known to cause the neurological condition known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. In a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has a case fatality rate of >98%. Majority of this case can be found in warmer regions that affects individuals mostly of Hispanic origin. Documented cases had been reported from the Latin Americas in significant number, followed by the United States, Asian regions and some in Europe. However, a specific number of cases worldwide may never be known due to the following factors: lack of awareness, poor diagnosis and a poor public health system.

It is still yet to be known if its a serious public health concern worldwide.

hjlf

Answer:

The correct answer will be options-B and D

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is the process of cell division which divides the cellular components along with the nuclear component. The cytokinesis takes place after the completion of M-phase which differs in both animal and plant cell.

In an animal cell, the cytokinesis begins by the formation of furrow which eventually pinches off to two cells.

The formation of the furrow is a complex process and requires the microtubules like an actin-myosin ring which gets established in which the actin filaments from the ring. The myosin filaments pull the actin filaments and then forms the ring.

Thus, options-B and D are the correct answer.

Write a paragraph explaining how adhesion cohesion and capillary action all enable water to go from the roots to the top of the
poizon [28]

Adhesion, cohesion and capillary action enable water to go from the roots to the top of the tree due to its specific property.

<h3>How adhesion cohesion and capillary action move water to the top?</h3>

Capillary action helps to bring water to the upper parts from the roots but to a small distance due to strong gravity. In order to get water up to all the branches and leaves, the forces of adhesion and cohesion work together in the plant's xylem to move water to the upper body.

So we can conclude that adhesion, cohesion and capillary action enable water to go from the roots to the top of the tree due to its specific property.
