Respiration is the ability to break down nutrients to make energy, so the answer should be the fourth option.
Answer and Explanation:
Invasive species are not native to an ecosystem/environment to which they've been introduced, which can cause disastrous disruptions to various food chains/webs and other native species' populations.
In this case, your cousin is bringing in a plant from overseas, so it clearly will be an invasive plant. You can tell them the following:
- this plant may take over the feeding source of native plants, causing those populations to decrease drastically or possibly even be wiped out
- secondary consumers that had once relied on those native plants for food energy will now have limited resources, competition will increase, and these consumers may begin to die off
- tertiary consumers that consumed these secondary consumers will begin to die off, as well
- this chain reaction will ripple through the entire food chain and food web, and totally disrupt the existing ecosystem
Thus, your cousin shouldn't plant this organism in their backyard and should instead destroy it.
An insect bite on the face produces a break in the skin which introduces the normal skin flora (usually <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus</em>) to the sterile subcutaneous tissue causing inflammation. The inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue is called cellulitis. Since the infection is in the face, then it can travel from the infected site to the meninges through the cavernous sinuses and cause bacterial meningitis.
The existence of being able to process photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is a functional and adaptive mechanism which enables plants to make and create their own food with the use of sunlight. Also, water and carbon dioxide, oxygen is then the by product of this process which is beneficial to other organisms especially heterotrophs.
