Bacteria perform the following ecological roles. which role typically does not involve symbiosis?
a. skin commensalist
b. decomposer
c. gut mutualist
d. pathogen

Decomposer

Explanation:

Bacteria feed on the dead and decaying organism, in which they feed on them and obtain energy from them.

It is not a mutual relation because the host cell on which they feed is not alive. They eat the organic matter that is present in environment.

The bacteria and fungi clean the environment in this way. The dead plants and animals are decomposed in the environment and the nutrients get back  into the soil.

hence, the correct answer is option B

i think its b

explanation:

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
