Answer:

True

Explanation:

Arthropods like mice, fleas, lice and ticks are ectoparasites that derive nutrients from their specific hosts. They are also vectors/carriers of the ricketssia bacteria and they transmit this bacteria into their host when they bite them.

Ricketssia disease or infection are induced by a group of bacteria called Ricketssiae, which are similar to viral cells being that they can only survive in living host cells. Ricketssia bacteria can either be the spotted face group or the typhus group depending on the symptoms or kind of infection. Each species of Ricketssia bacteria is host-specific e.g Ricketssia prowazekii is the common cause of typhus in humans.

Describe what are the basic needs of all cells in the body
liubo4ka [24]
<span>In order to survive, cells must satisfy some basic needs such as oxygen, water, nutrients, waste removal, and maintaining of homeostasis. Oxygen and nutrients are necessary for different processes inside the cell. For instance, cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to form energy in the form of ATP. Water is important for different chemical reactions, as well. Also, s the result of different processes, waste is produced and it is important to remove it from the cell. Finally, it is important that cell and whole body conditions do not vary so much and that homeostasis is maintained.</span>
