Scientists have a theory about the relationship between climate and biodiversity. Which best describes this theory? Warmer climates promote higher biodiversity, allowing plants to grow year-round. This supports more organisms that rely on plants. Colder climates promote higher biodiversity, reducing the competition among organisms for food. This supports stronger organisms that live longer. Warmer climates promote higher biodiversity because they tend to receive more rainfall. This provides a source of water for more organisms. Colder climates promote higher biodiversity because they are usually larger in size. This provides space for more organisms.

Ms. w, a 21-year-old woman, came into a clinic after suffering a deep laceration on her foot while walking barefoot around her yard. the wound was cleaned, sutured, and bandaged, and she was released to return home after receiving tetanus antitoxoid. within 72 hours, the wound area was red and swollen, the suture line was dark in color, and it was accompanied by severe throbbing pain. ms. w had a high fever, her heart felt like it was racing, and she was finding it hard to concentraten even on simple tasks. she returned to the clinic and was immediately taken to the hospital. following lab tests, a diagnosis of acute necrotizing fasciitis was made. discussion questions 1. explain why ms. w. received a tetanus antitoxoid before leaving the hospital. (see chapters 3 and 4, infection and passive immunity.) 2. explain how acute necrotizing fasciitis developed in this case and the pathophysiology involved. (see acute necrotizing fasciitis.) 3. what is the potential outcome for ms. w if antibiotic drugs do not reduce the infection quickly?
