Answer:

The correct option is: C) tetanus

Explanation:

Tetanus is a bacterial infection caused by Clostridium tetani, commonly found in the manure, soil, dust and saliva. This disease is characterized by muscle spasms, which begin at the jaw and travels to rest of the body and can also cause muscle fractures.

Other symptoms of this infection include headache, fever, abnormally high heart rate, difficulty in breathing, sweating, trouble swallowing and high blood pressure.

<u>Therefore, the baby is most likely suffering from tetanus.</u>

What substance are absorbed by the large intestine

There would be no release of organic nitrogen molecules back to their inorganic state. Dead material would accumulate to choke out livable habitat. 
<span>Plants fix atmospheric carbon in photosynthesis and some species of bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen so life would continue taking these into the organic cycle but without decomposing fungi & bacteria the cycle would not complete. However the final step of reduction to N2 is only completed by bacteria. In fact bacteria are critical to every step of the nitrogen cycle. </span>


<span>Fungi also decompose dead plants and animals so are detrital feeders putting nitrogen into the nitrogen cycle but not as N2. Fungi cannot reduce N2O to N2. So fungi make N2O as their denitrification product. True denitrification, like nitrogen fixing, does not occur in eukaryotes only bacteria. </span>

Answer:

A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Calories in food provide energy in the form of heat so that our bodies can function. Our bodies store and "burn" calories as fuel. Many dieters count calories and try to decrease caloric intake to lose weight.
