9. Bats eat insects that damage crops and mosquitoes that are vectors for disease. One million
at several tons of insects per night, saving billions of dollars in pesticides yearly
Agricultural and public health scientists are concerned about the spread of white-nose
syndrome (WNS). WNS is a result of a fungus that can infect cave-dwelling bats. While bats
hibernate during winter months, the fungus covers the bats' face and wings. WNS has a near
100% mortality rate, and 5.7 million bats have died since the discovery of the fungus in 2006.
Many scientists are searching for ways to protect these bats. The relationship between this
fungus and bats can best be defined as-
a. commensal, because the bats provide a surface for the fungus to grow.
b. parasitic, because the fungus obtains nutrients and shelter from the bats.
c. competitive, because both organisms use caves as shelter during the winter.
d. mutualistic, because the relationship involves two distinct species living together.

What is a codon and where is it found

You decide that the introduction should also discuss the extremophiles that are referred to as the archaea. these single-cell organisms are considered "extremophiles" due to their ability to survive and reproduce in environmental conditions that would be hostile for most living organisms. archaea species have been isolated from highly acidic sulfur springs, ocean floor thermal vents with temperatures that exceed boiling, and subarctic ice well below freezing. while still considered to be prokaryotic, the archaea have numerous differences that place them apart from the bacteria. choose the characteristics that separate the archaea from other prokaryotic cells. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. archaea lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. the morphology of the cell is rigid and is geometric in shape, similar to a sphere or cylinder. the cytoplasmic membrane lipids of archaea have branched or ringform hydrocarbon chains. all currently identified and characterized archaea have been linked as the causative agent to an animal or human disease.
