In a hypothetical situation, a bacterium lives on the surface of a leaf where it obtains nutrients from the leaf's nonliving wax

y covering, which the leaf continually produces. The plant is not hurt or harmed by this feeding. Once the number of bacteria reaches a critical mass, they inhibit the growth of other microbes that damage the plant. Occasionally, these bacteria can gain access to the interior of the leaf, for example, if there is weather-related leaf breakage the exposes the plant's interior tissues. If this occurs, the bacteria feed on the plant's living tissue, causing minor damage. What sequences best describes the ecological roles played by the bacterium in this situation?

Answer:

Mutualism= since the neither the bacteria nor the plant  was  disturbed with relationship, but rather benefited from  one another.The bacteria only feed on the waxy covering on the leaf's  surfaces,  which is nonliving and has no effect on it living tissues,while the   plants benefited through inhibition of other bacteria growth on it tissues ; this is Mutualism since the two organism plants and bacteria interrelate and belong to different species.

Pathogenic -since bacteria fed on the plant tissues and cause damages, this is pathogenic.it may lead to infection. The bacteria is said to be Pathogenic bacteria for this single act.

2.4 State two reasons why the fern plants are able to
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because ferns are vascular plants i.e they have vascular tissues which are xylem and phloems which help to conduct water and nutrients while mosses are non vascular plants.

2. Ferns sporophytes are differentiated into true leaves, stems and true roots while mosses lack true roots, stems and leaves.

Underground stems are modified part of plants that are derived from stem tissues which grow under the ground. Underground stems grow beneath the soil. Examples include Rhizomes, ginger, tubers e t.c.

The ____________ functions as a gateway through which chemicals and small particles, such as ____________ enter or leave the cel
Vilka [71]

Answer: cell membrane

such as water, micro-organism

physical process

simple diffusion, osmosis and filtration

such as potasssium permaganate in water,urea a liver waste diffuses from the body and the kidney help in filtering it out

physiological processs

active transport, phagocytosis and pinocytosis

such as soduim-potassium pump, exocytosis

Explanation:  transportation in and out of cell is done in different ways listed above but a barrier to this movement is the cell membrane which is an outer covering of the cell. it protect the cell and only some materials can penetrate the cell membrane e.g micro-organism, water e.t.c. the various physical and physiological processes are the various ways substance  cna be liquid, solid or gas are transported within or outside the  cell e.g food
