Answer: c. signal amplification

Explanation:

The uncoupling of the G-protein and inhibiting of the signal amplification are the two affects of the pertusis toxin. It is released by the bacteria called <em>Bordetella pertusis. </em>The G-proteins are affected by the action of pertusis toxin. The production to the excess level of cAMP due to the conversion of ATP into cAMP the ribosylation of the ADP molecules occurs due to pertusis toxin. This leads to the damage of G-proteins.

The chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is colonizing frogs across the globe causing massive mortality and even pushin
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Parasitism

Explanation:

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a parasitic chytrid fungus which is responsible for the declining population of amphibians in the rain forests of Panama and Australia.

The fungus grows on the keratinized layer of epidermis on amphibian skin and makes a thick covering of fungus on the amphibian's skin. So as amphibian's skin helps them to maintain the proper osmotic balance in the body so when a thick fungus grows on their skin they are not able to maintain the correct osmotic balance in their body which leads to amphibian death.

So as Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is a parasitic fungus and gets its nutrition from the frog body and do not kill frog immediately as in predation therefore this relationship can be considered as parasitism.
