When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.
Explanation:
To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.
In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.
According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.

Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
The human gastrointestinal microbiota or the gut microbiota or the gut flora refers to the microbes, which thrive in the digestive tracts of humans. The human gastrointestinal tract comprises the gathering of all the genomes of gut microbiota. It is the niche where the human microbiota is found.
The microbial composition of the gut microbiota differs across the digestive tract. In the small intestine and stomach, very small species of bacteria are found, while the colon comprises the densely populated microbial ecosystem. Of these over 99 percent of the bacteria found in the gut are anaerobes, as the space within the intestines is highly anaerobic.
These microbes are confined deep within the body where oxygen cannot reach as it is not supplied with the help of blood vessels. Thus, a highly anaerobic environment is witnessed deep within the intestinal regions.
