Muscular dystrophy is a muscle disease that causes a loss in muscle mass and weakness. Patients with muscular dsytrophy may experience a weakening in their cardiac muscles, causings heart malfunction. Muscular dystrophy can also deteriorate the diaphragm, a muscle that solely aids in respiration, causing a breathing malfunction.
A decomposer is an organism usually a bacteria or fungus that decomposes organic material.
Decomposers are considerd the last tropic level because they feed on everything.

A facultative anaerobe.
Explanation:
Anaerobes are organisms which can produce energy via the process of fermentation in the absence of oxygen. The anaerobes can be classified as facultative anaerobes and obligate anaerobes.
Facultative anaerobes are those which can carry out respiration in presence of oxygen but can choose to follow the fermentation pathway if oxygen is absent. Fermentation also uses glucose.
Aerobic respiration produces 32 molecules of ATP from one molecules of glucose while fermentation produces only 2 molecules of ATP . Thus when the organism switches to fermentation pathway it utilizes more and more glucose to reach its energy demands.
Considering all the above points we can conclude that observations indicate that the organism is a facultative anaerobe.
<span>The culture contains 2*10^8 bacteria before it was exposed to ionizing radiation which kills 99.99% of the bacteria. The number of bacteria left after the radiation would be:
final number= initial number * (100%- radiation kill rate)
</span>final number= 2*10^8<span> *(100%-99.99%)
</span>final number= 2*10^8 *(0.01%)
final number= 2*10^8 * 10^-6
final number= 2*10^(8-6)
final number= 2*10^2
Bird and egg drop experiment are similar in nature. When the birds fly and have wings they slow down when they are landing. Relating to human activities, egg drop is also like skydiving. The parachute is blocking the air and it slows down when dropping.
