b. In 1979, the estimated elephant population was 1.3 million and in 2007 it was 640,000. By approximately what percentage did t
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The initial amount, 1.3 million = 1,300,000 is the 100%.

now, 640,000 is a given percentage (lower than 100%) of that.

How we can find it?

suppose that 640,000 represents an x%.

Then we have that the quotient between the actual quantities and the percentages must be the same

(640,000/1,300,000) = x%/100%

x% = (640,000/1,300,000)*100% = 49.23%

Then the percentage declined is:

100% - 49.23% = 50.77%

The other question can not be answered with the given information.

postnew [5]

The large population of microbes that contributes to the gut microbiota and have an important role in food processing are called <u>Commensal microorganisms</u> .

The human body is host to trillions  of microbes or bacteria. Most of these are useful but may become harmful when out of control.

The microbiota consists of a wide variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi ,and other microorganisms present in a singular environment such as the human digestive tract.

<h3>Gut microbiota : </h3>

The gut microbiota is vast and complex collection of microorganisms that profoundly affects human health gut microbiota are present in the digestive tract of vertebrates including humans.

The function of gut microbiota in body function includes harvesting energy from digested food, protecting against pathogens, regulating immune system and strengthening biochemical barriers of the gut and intestine changes in microbiota composition can affects these functions.

The normal gut microbiota have specific functions like host nutrition metabolism, maintenance of structural integrity of the gut mucosal barrier, helps in immunity, protect against pathogens.

<h3>Commensal microorganisms:</h3>

Commensal microorganisms are those type of microbes that reside on either surface of the body or at mucosa without harming human health . commensal bacteria are 10 times more than the cells present in our  body.

Example - Streptococcus oralis and Streptococcus salivarius .

Commensal microorganisms plays an important role against pathogens including respiratory pathogens. It acts on the host's immune system to induce protective response that prevents colonization an invasion by pathogens. On the other hand these bacteria can directly inhibits the growth of respiratory pathogens by producing antimicrobial products .it also competing for nutrients and adhesion sites. Provides the host with essential nutrients.

<h3>What are microbes ?</h3>

Microbes are tiny living things that are found all around us and  are too small to be seen by eye. They live in soil, water and in air. The human body is the home of trillions of microbes.
