E) All of the answers are correct. 107) Which of the following is NOT primarily a sexually transmitted infection (STI)

Answer:

1. A) Lactobacillus

2. A) Escherichia coli. 3.

3. You did not present the answer options, which prevent this question from being answered. However, I will try to help you with the explanation below.

Explanation:

1. An adult vagina has a microbiota, that is, a group of microorganisms. This microbiota is beneficial and exists to promote protection and vaginal balance. Among the microorganisms present in the microbiota, we can mention Lactobacillus, which are responsible for preventing infections and controlling vaginal pH.

2. Cystitis is a urinary infection caused by the bacteria Escherichia coli, which resides in the human body and is important for digestion, but can cause inflammation of the bladder, as well as other stomach bacteria. Cystitis is not a contagious disease and has symptoms such as fever and difficulty urinating.

3. Sexually transmitted diseases are contagious diseases, caused by microorganisms that are transmitted from one person to another during an unprotected sexual act. Therefore, to answer the third question you should look for the answer option that presents a disease that is not transmitted by unprotected sexual contact.

104. Lactobacillus, 105. Escherichia coli, 106. Pyelonephritis, 107. Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

26. The normal microbiota of the adult vagina primarily consists of Lactobacillus. Therefore option A is correct.

Lactobacillus species are the predominant bacteria in the healthy adult vagina. They play a crucial role in maintaining a slightly acidic pH, which helps prevent the overgrowth of harmful microbes.

Lactobacillus produces lactic acid, creating an inhospitable environment for many potential pathogens. This microbial balance is essential for vaginal health and helps protect against infections.

2. Cystitis, which is inflammation of the bladder, is most often caused by Escherichia coli. Therefore option A is correct.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most common causative agent of cystitis. It is a bacterium that normally resides in the intestines.

However, when E. coli enters the urethra and travels up to the bladder, it can cause an infection. Cystitis is more prevalent in females due to their shorter urethra, which provides easier access for bacteria to reach the bladder.

3. Pyelonephritis, a more severe infection involving the kidneys, may result from: All of the answers are correct. Therefore option E is correct.

Pyelonephritis can result from various routes of infection, including urethritis (inflammation of the urethra), cystitis (inflammation of the bladder), and ureteritis (inflammation of the ureters).

Additionally, it may also occur as a complication of systemic infections, where bacteria from other parts of the body spread to the kidneys via the bloodstream.

4. The following is NOT primarily a sexually transmitted infection (STI): Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Therefore option D is correct.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a bacterium responsible for the sexually transmitted infection known as gonorrhea. Therefore, it is indeed primarily a sexually transmitted infection (STI).

In summary, the normal vaginal microbiota is mainly composed of Lactobacillus species. Cystitis is most often caused by Escherichia coli, and pyelonephritis can result from various routes of infection.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a sexually transmitted infection, making it different from the other listed pathogens.

Many tree frog populations are threatened due to habitat loss. In an effort to promote conservation, tree frogs may be bred in captivity. A zoo acquired male and female tree frogs from two different populations. In the zoo, the tree frogs were able to successfully mate within their own population, but breeding attempts between the two populations were unsuccessful.

Based on this information, which statement correctly describes the relationship between the two populations of tree frogs?

A.They are in the same species but different kingdoms.
B.They are in the same genus but different species.
C.They are in the same family but different orders.
D.They are in the same class but different phyla.

A small creek runs through a mature forest, keeping the soil around the creek damp all year. A variety of ferns and several flowering plants thrive in this shady, moist area. Along the higher ground above the creek, many species of flowering plants that need less water grow. If a farmer diverted the creek to water his fields, causing the creek to dry up, what would be the most likely long-term consequence for the ferns and angiosperms in the forest?

The ferns would outcompete the angiosperms in the forest since they can tolerate a wider range of moisture conditions than angiosperms.
The angiosperms and the ferns would not be affected since their thick, waxy cuticle coverings would protect them from drying out.
The angiosperms would outcompete the ferns since their sperm do not need moist conditions to get to their eggs as ferns do.
The ferns and angiosperms would begin to produce spores instead of seeds since the spores are better able to survive dry conditions.

Houses have been built around a small retention pond, increasing the fertilizer runoff into the pond. This has led to algal blooms in the pond which periodically reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen available in the water. What will be the most likely long-term effect on the fish population living in the pond if the situation with the fertilizer does not change?

The fish population will grow as more offspring are born that can take advantage of the new conditions.
The population will be replaced by a different species of fish that consumes algae for food.
The fish population will learn to survive with less oxygen and more algae in the water.
The population will evolve, leaving only those genetically equipped to deal with low oxygen levels.
