Answer:

Infections are generated by pathogens, pathogens that generate a rare invasion triggering an extremely risky condition for the host, opportunistic infections are usually caused by highly pathogenic microorganisms with high resistance mechanisms and are really serious signs and symptoms.

Primary pathogen is one that colonizes in a primary way by forming a biofilm or a microbiological ecosystem.

The great difference between infection and infectious disease is that the infection is the presence of microorganisms that cooperate and live with the host without generating pathology, whereas infectious disease is when these microorganisms generate a pathology or condition in the host.

Explanation:

The pathogenesis are different stages that make up the ability of a microorganism to get sick, an example is prevotella parvula or treponema denticola that during pathogenesis they quickly invade the tissues due to their movements, in addition to the tissues such as the mucosa they generate an immune distraction that release toxins in different areas to the invasion.

These are pathogenicity mechanisms, that is, how the microorganism does to be able to invade the tissues in the most oppressive way.

Why are a plant's Stomata generally open during the day and closed at night?
coldgirl [10]
Plants' stomata refers to the small pores that are found on plants' tissues and leaves. They possess the ability to open and close and thus they regulate water and gases exchange in plants. Green plants have the ability to produce their own food by using the energy from the sun;the process is called photosynthesis. During the day, when there is sunshine, the plants' stomata are always open in order to trap energy from the sun for photosynthesis. The stomata also allow carbon dioxide and oxygen gases to diffuse in and out of the leaves' cells.  The stomata usually closes at night in order to prevent excessive water loss.
