3. Biofilm matures and some microorganisms escape to the plank-tonic state.

Explanation:

Biofilm is a process in which microorganism irreversibly attach and grow on the surface to produce extra cellular polymers that facilitate formation of matrix. The biofilm process takes three days for the formation after which thickness of plaque increases. There are 4 main steps in biofilm formation. Surface is preconditioned by environment molecules. The microbes attach the preconditioned surface. Establishment of extra cellular matrix and finally biofilm matures.

The distinction between sensation and perception ______. Group of answer choices
Ratling [72]

<u>Answer</u>:

The distinction between the sensation and perception allows the researchers to distinguish between the information processed by the receptors versus the information processed in the cortex.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The sensation is a process by which the sensory receptors take up the signals or stimuli from its surroundings and send it to the brain through nerves. Whereas, in the process of perception the brain organizes, combines and makes patterns from the given stimuli and gives the response to the particular stimuli accordingly.

Both sensation and perception are connected to each other hence if one doesn’t work then the other automatically stops working.

Why is reabsorption important
harina [27]
<span>The purpose of the kidneys is to filter waste from the blood, and other things like water, glucose, amino acids, some minerals/vitamins, and other small molecules can also get filtered out. Reabsorbtion of water in the kidneys allows the body to maintain a fluid balance (drink a lot and you pee more cause you have an excess of water). As for the other aforementioned things, they're often needed for metabolic processes (such as certain enzyme functions) so loosing it to waste decreases efficiency and efficacy of other bodily processes. </span>
