The relationship between the bacterium xenorhabdus nematophila and its nematode host is

The correct answer is - mutualistic.

Explanation:

The symbiosis or relationship between the bacterium xenorhabdus namtophilia and Steinernema carpocapsae, the nematode host is known as mutualistic or the cooperation in between them. Both the organisms live in a symbiosis in which both are benefited.

The nematode lives free till the early infective juvenile stage only. Bacterium present in both conditions as individual and with the symbiosis of the host.

Thus, the correct answer is - mutualistic.

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
