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.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.

Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.

mel-nik [20]

True:

Advantages. PWR reactors are verystable due to their tendency toproduce less power as temperatures increase; this makes the reactor easier to operate from a stability standpoint. PWR turbine cycle loop is separate from the primary loop, so the water in the secondary loop is not contaminated by radioactive materials.
