<u>Staphylococcus</u> <u>aureus</u> is a pathogen that can contaminate food if a food service worker sneezes on the food.

What is Staphylococcus aureus?

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium which is highly tolerant to salt, and can easily grow on food materials like meat, milk products etc.

Role in disease:

  • S. aureus is found generally in soil, air and water. Research says it can also be found in nose, skin and other areas of human beings.
  • Any food contaminated with this bacterium, can become toxic for consumption because the bacteria can easily multiply in the food, release toxin that can cause illness.
  • Major illness caused by Staphylococcus aureus include Pneumonia, sepsis, toxic shock syndrome etc.

What waste product of photosynthesis allows you to live on earth?
asambeis [7]
Photosynthesis allows plants to take in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make energy for themselves, a type of sugar called glucose. 

Glucose = C_{6}  H_{12}O_{6} 

The other thing that is made from photosynthesis is oxygen. 

Without oxygen, we would not be able to live on earth.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

a. Approximately 1,003 weasels, 3,345 mice and 16,729 wheat plants per one hawk are in the ecosystem

Explanation:

The percentage of the weasel population eaten by a hawk = 30%

The percentage of the mouse population eaten by a weasel = 30%

The percentage of the wheat plants population eaten by a mice = 20%

a. One hawk needs 330 kJ of energy per day, which gives 330 kJ × 365 = 120,450 kJ per year

Let 'x' represent the number of weasels to support one hawk, we have;

0.3 × x = 120,450 kJ/year/(400 kJ) = 301.125

x = 301.125/0.3 = 1,003.75

The number of weasels required to support one hawk per year ≈ 1,003 weasels

The total weasels ≈ 1,003

ii) The number of mice needed, y = x/0.3 = 1,003.75/0.3 = 3,345.8\overline 3

The total mice, y ≈ 3,345 mice

iii) The number of wheat flower needed, z = y/0.2

∴ The number of wheat flower needed, z = 3,345.8\overline 3/0.2 ≈ 16,729.1\overline 6

The total wheat plants ≈ 16,729.

Air at the equator is warm and has a ______density, which creates ________ in comparison to the air at the poles.
almond37 [142]

Answer:

Lower, low pressure

Explanation:

The temperature at equator are mostly higher than at the poles almost all times of year. This high temperature causes air at the equator to warm up quickly and thus, the air density reduces and it becomes lighter. Now, light air rises upwards. Thus, creating a low pressure region at equators. This low pressure causes the air near the poles gush towards the equator.

Hence, the blanks will be filled with the words

Lower, low pressure.
