The correct answer is D. Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste.

Explanation:

Commensalism is a type of interaction between organisms of different species, in this, one organism benefits from another without causing any benefit or damage. Due to this, commensalism differs from other interactions such as parasitism in which one organism benefit from another and causes harm to it, or from mutualism as in this, the organisms involved obtain a benefit. This implies the one that is an example of commensalism is "Insects lay eggs in the sloth's waste" because in this relationship insects obtain a benefit that is a place to lay eggs while the sloth remains unaffected.

This indicator is an estimate of the amount of space on the earth that an individual uses in order to survive using existing technology. This space includes the biologically productive land and water area that produces the resources consumed by that individual such as food, water, energy, clothing, and building materials. It also includes the amount of land and water required to assimilate the wastes generated by that person.

Explain in detail how galen, a physician during the middle ages, expanded on hippocrates’ theory of the four humors and explain
Ann [662]
<span>Hippocrates believed that there are four humors in human body which need balance for a healthy being. These were:
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.</span>
Galen expanded the idea of the humors and introduced four temperaments which were these:
choleric (hot / dry), melancholic (cold / dry), sanguine (warm / moist), and phlegmatic (cold / moist).
Another expansion Galen did was that he gave each humor/temperament physical and psychological qualities and said that even the food items have an association with the certain humor, those foods can effect certain humor in certain ways.
