Mosquitoes have a 6-tube system in their "snout". It's a big big needle with 6 parts to it. 4 of those parts are used to pierce the skin of the human. The other 2 parts are 2 tubes. One of those tubes sends saliva from the mosquito down into the human. The other sends blood up from the human into the mosquito.
Now, unlike some viruses (like dengue and Zikka), HIV cannot replicate inside a mosquito. HIV replicates inside human T-cells...there aren't any of those inside a mosquito gut. Eventually the HIV is destroyed and never makes it to the saliva of the mosquito - so the mosquito can never infect a human with HIV.

Some "cleaner fish" consume parasites and mucus from the skin of larger fish. What would be a reasonable argument for why this c

marin [14]

This could be a mutualism rather than a commensal relationship because when<span> "cleaner fish" consume parasites and mucus from the skin of larger fish, they don't only receive food from the relationship, eliminating parasite and such from the large fish, but also they gain protection from predators, thus making the relationship a good example of mutualism, because both parts of the relationship gain something from the relationship itself. </span>

What would you expect to happen if your blood sugar was 120mg/100mg?

erastova [34]

Answer:

The 120 miligram per 100 milliliter of the sugar suggests that the blood is hyperglycemic.

Explanation:

the hyperglycemia is the condition, in which the blood sugar level increases than the normal blood sugar levels. The main cause of the insulin is decreased function of the insulin hormone. The condition, in which the insulin is not working properly and is unable to metabolise the sugar (glucose) present in the blood is known as Diabetes.
