Answer:

Disease caused by close contact or touch

Explanation:

Pathogens are disease-causing organisms. A wide range of organisms like bacteria, viruses, fungi, helminths could cause diseases in man. The pathogens are grouped into two types-

infectious/contagious/communicable. (e.g.common cold)

non-infectious/non-contagious/noncommunicable(e.g.cancer)

The pathogens transmitted to the host body by touching, coughing, sneezing or by close contact are called as contagions.

The agent which causes diseases by close contact or touch is called contagions

A pathogen is a disease carrying vector that has the ability to spread using a variety of different mechanisms. A pathogen that is a contagion has the ability to spread through touch. An example of such a pathogen would be the one that results in staph infections.

Suppose you travel to a tropical place like the Bahamas and watch the coastal poikilotherms, such as fish, crabs, and starfish,
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

exposure of the opposite environments to the species and see if they are able to be active in cold waters.

If they are then species of organism in Maine and could have more ice-nucleating agents which are responsible for their high ability for activity in cold waters.

Explanation:

To test the assess if the Maine species of organisms are especially able to be active in cold waters an experiment can be designed where one needs to place the species or animals from Maine and Bahamas in reverse conditions.

Maine animals are placed in warm water environments and species from the Bahamas can be placed in cold water. Finding if they are able to adapt in reverse condition by calculating various processes and motion, if yes then  it shows that it is not a special ability to survive in cold temps. However, if it is not then the Maine poikilotherms are specially designed for their environment. In case of yes then species of organism in Maine and could have more ice-nucleating agents

Describe one way in which ribosomes interact with organelles. How would having a larger number of ribosomes benefit a cell? In y
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Ribosomes are the machinery of protein synthesis in the cell. They are associated with different organelle of the cell. They are also found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The organelle which ribosomes interact are plasma membrane in prokaryotes and endoplasmic reticulum(ER) in eukaryotic cell. Ribosomes are present on the surface of the ER and helps in protein synthesis in the ER. In prokaryotes, there is no ER so it is associated with plasma membrane and perform protein synthesis.

The specialized function of ribosome is to perform protein synthesis and these proteins are necessary for cell because protein are important to make enzymes that regulate the metabolism of the cell. So if protein synthesis stops cell will not able to perform important metabolic activities to survive and it will die.

Having a large number of ribosomes benefits cells because it fastens the protein synthesis process in the cell. So large amount of protein can be produced in less time.
