Answer:All of the following are true statements concerning the normal microbiota except option C statement (The resident and transient microbiota are often found in the same areas.
Explanation:
Normal microvolts denotes the population of microorganisms that inhabits the skin and mucous membranes of healthy normal persons. They are grouped into 2 categories;
1.) Transient microbiota and
2.) Resident microbiota.
Transient microbiota are the normal microbiota that are just passing through the body system. They are unable to remain in the body for a long period of time due to difficulty competing with established resident microbes.
While resident microbiota are established at birth. They are found in different parts of the host body and they do not typically harm the host while they benefit from feeding on the cellular waste and dead cells of the host body. The host in turn benefits from the microbiota as it inhabits the digestive tract and aids in digestion. Therefore options A, B and D are correct. Hope this helps
