The study of 2 organisms is called binomial nomenclature
Answer:
The correct option is C. An encounter with an infected animal
Explanation:
An opportunistic organism can be described as an organism that causes infection when it gets certain opportunities or certain conditions. If the opportunities are not there, then the opportunistic organism will not be able to cause infection. For example, a weakened immune system might be an opportunity for opportunistic microorganism to cause infection.
An encounter with an infected animal would not cause disease because there would be no opportunistic conditions available for the pathogen.
Political opposition is one of the current factors affecting extraction of resources from the rainforest.
The above statement is true.
The operation of nuclear power plants in the United States is closely monitored and regulated. The NRC or Nuclear regulatory commission is the body that is tasked to monitor and regulate the construction and operation of nuclear power plants. Nuclear power plants use the heat generated from nuclear fission in a contained environment to convert water to steam, which powers generate to produce electricity.
"Mangroves live life on the edge. With one foot on land and one in the sea, these botanical amphibians occupy a zone of desiccating heat, choking mud, and salt levels that would kill an ordinary plant within hours. Yet the forests mangroves form are among the most productive and biologically complex ecosystems on Earth. Birds roost in the canopy, shellfish attach themselves to the roots, and snakes and crocodiles come to hunt. Mangroves provide nursery grounds for fish; a food source for monkeys, deer, tree-climbing crabs, even kangaroos; and a nectar source for bats and honeybees.
As a group, mangroves can’t be defined too closely. There are some 70 species from two dozen families—among them palm, hibiscus, holly, plumbago, acanthus, legumes, and myrtle. They range from prostrate shrubs to 200-foot-high (60 meters) timber trees. Though most prolific in Southeast Asia, where they are thought to have originated, mangroves circle the globe. Most live within 30 degrees of the Equator, but a few hardy types have adapted to temperate climates, and one lives as far from the tropical sun as New Zealand. Wherever they live, they share one thing in common: They’re brilliant adapters. Each mangrove has an ultrafiltration system to keep much of the salt out and a complex root system that allows it to survive in the intertidal zone. Some have snorkel-like roots called pneumatophores that stick out of the mud to help them take in air; others use prop roots or buttresses to keep their trunks upright in the soft sediments at tide’s edge. These plants are also land builders par excellence. Some Aborigines in northern Australia believe one mangrove species resembles their primal ancestor, Giyapara, who walked across the mudflats and brought the tree into existence. The plants’ interlocking roots stop river borne sediments from" coursing out to sea, and their trunks and branches serve as a palisade that diminishes the erosive power of waves.
