vichka [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The correct option is: b) may also be an opportunistic pathogen

Explanation:

Commensalism is a kind of symbiotic relationship between two different biological organisms. <u>In this interaction, one of the organism is benefited whereas the other organism is neither harmed nor benefited.</u>

The organism that gains benefits from the host is known as the commensal. The commensal may obtain benefits like shelter, nutrients, protection, and locomotion.

<u>However, the commensal bacteria can be an opportunistic pathogen.</u>

Opportunistic pathogens are the pathogens that can cause an infection or a disease if the host has a weak immune system.

This process is called precipitation. Still, the process is formation of liquid from gas then will go down the surface.

The tricky part of this question is the combination of nitrogen and water, as this process is not nitrification. Nitrification is the conversion of ammonia to nitrous or nitric oxide by nitrifying bacteria. Transpiration if evaporation of water through plant leaves. Respiration is the conversion of oxygen to carbon dioxide by organisms.

Which type of mutation results from the insertion or deletion of a nucletide into the gene?.
Artyom0805 [142]

​Frameshift Mutation

A frameshift mutation is a type of mutation involving the insertion or deletion of a nucleotide in which the number of deleted base pairs is not divisible by three. "Divisible by three" is important because the cell reads a gene in groups of three bases.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

As the blood pressure in each of the blood vessels is measured, it can be predicted to be lowest in the capillaries.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Artery.</em>
  • <em>Arteriole.</em>
  • <em>Capillaries.</em>
  • <em>Venule.</em>
  • <em>Vein.</em>

Once the blood leaves the heart, it is distributed in a network of arterial vessels -arteries and arterioles- that bridge the venules and veins through the capillaries. Blood pressure depends on the pumping strength of the heart and the force that blood produces on the vessel walls. There is a marked difference between arterial and venous pressure. Some conclusions can be drawn from this:  

  • <em>Blood pressure is higher the closer the vessel is to the heart. </em>
  • <em>The larger the vessel, the more blood is contained and the more blood pressure is recorded. </em>

Based on this, it can be deduced that the blood vessels with the lowest pressure are the capillaries, with very thin walls and where gas and nutrients or metabolites enter and leave the vessel.

The question gives an answer, but does not explain why.
