When a tick transfers Lyme disease from a deer to a human, the tick is considered the ________ in the chain of infection

Biology

5 0

The tick is considered the vector in the chain of infection.

Generally, vector organisms are organisms that are capable of transmitting disease pathogens from infected organisms to uninfected ones either directly or indirectly as a result of their activities.

Ticks are parasites that feed on the blood of vertebrate animals such as deers and humans. When they feed on the blood of animals with certain infections, the pathogens for such infections are sometimes carried in the guts of the parasites and these are transferred to the bloodstream of the next animal that would be their host.

A good example of this is Lyme disease.

All life depends on the availability of usable energy. This energy is released when
kiruha [24]

Answer:

3 (Cells carry out the respiration process)

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a metabolic (catabolic) process common to all living things as all living things need energy for their life processes.

Respiration is the biochemical process in which the cells of an organism obtain energy by breaking down organic molecules in presence or absence of oxygen (aerobic or anaerobic) resulting in the release of Carbondioxide (CO2), water and Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Food molecules (containing stored energy in their chemical bonds) absorbed after digestion are broken down and the energy within their molecules are freed. This freed energy in form of ATP, is used to power the organism's movement and physiological functions.

Note that, ATP is an energy carrying molecule and a usable form of energy by cells. This is so because ATP releases energy quickly. Energy is released from ATP when the end phosphate (Pi) is removed to become ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which is a low energy molecule.

Aerobic cellular respiration consists of Glycolysis, Kreb's cycle and Oxidative phosphorylation. A total of 38 ATP molecules is produced in the cytosol of prokaryotes while a total of 36 ATP molecules is produced in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

Which one of the following hormones regulates cell division in plants? A. auxin (IAA. B. ethylene C. gibberellins D. cytokinins
jeyben [28]

cytokinin's regulates cell division in plants.

  • A group of plant hormones known as cytokinins (CK) encourages cytokinesis, or cell division, in the roots and shoots of plants.
  • A group of plant hormones known as cytokinins (CK) encourages cytokinesis, or cell division, in the roots and shoots of plants.
  • They influence apical dominance, axillary bud formation, and leaf senescence in addition to being largely involved in cell proliferation and differentiation.
  • When leaf cell development is in the proliferation stage or the expansion stage, cytokinins, in the appropriate order, promote cell division and boost cell expansion.
  • Cytokinins decrease the buildup of sugar during leaf senescence, boost the production of chlorophyll, and extend the photosynthetic period. <u>Examples include benzyl adenine, kinetin, and zeatin.</u>
