Hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria are the members of gram-negative bacteria, metabolism involves using hydrogen as an electron source and oxygen as a terminal electron acceptor, hence forming water.

Gram-negative genera Aquifex and hydrogenobacter stand for "water-maker"  to indicate hydrogen oxidation and terminal electron transfer to oxygen. They are chemoautotrophs, that share the ability to oxidize H₂ and fix CO₂ to provide energy and synthesize cellular material. Applicatated for resource recovery and pollution removal.

They are known to grow at the highest temperature and grow usually at neutral or slightly acidic pH. These microorganisms use CO₂ assimilation pathways. They are metabolically versatile chemolithoautotrophs, using reductive tricarboxylic acid (rTCA) cycle.

Bas_tet [7]

Forced convection may happen by natural means, such as when the heat of a fire causes expansion of air and bulk air flow by this means. The shock wave that transfers heat and mass out of explosions is also a type of forced convection.


Convection currents are the result of differential heating. Lighter (less dense), warm material rises while heavier (more dense) cool material sinks. It is this movement that creates circulation patterns known as convection currents in the atmosphere, in water, and in the mantle of Earth.


Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's solid silicate mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior to the planet's surface.This subjected material sinks through the Earth's interior.

A species whose presence is critical to maintaining the ecological balance is called a/an _____ species.
kow [346]

Answer:

keystone species

Explanation:

Keystone species are indispensable species that are essential to the maintaining of the balance of an ecosystem, and also play a major role in the way species in the ecosystem interrelate. The absence or removal of a keystone species from a habitat or ecosystem would lead to the disruption and imbalance of the ecosystem, and as such lead to the extinction of other species.

An example of a keystone species is the bee. Bees are very important in pollination of flowering plants and also ensure their survival. This plants serve as home to various insects that are source of food to birds. The removal of bees from this ecosystem would affect the ecological balance of this ecosystem.

What is the effect of catalase on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide? A. It decreases the activation energy needed to start
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

A. It decreases the activation energy needed to start the reaction.

Explanation:

Catalase is an enzyme found in the cells of organisms exposed to aerobic conditions. It is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown or decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the liver to water (H2O) and oxygen (O2).

Catalase, like every other enzyme, operates by binding to the substrate, which in this case is hydrogen peroxide. Catalase then REDUCES or LOWERS the ACTIVATION ENERGY needed to start the reaction.

Why would a pigeon breeder select the offspring of pigeons with spotted bodies and then breed those offspring? to improve body c
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: The correct answer is- to see what new traits might appear next.

As per the information in the question, pigeon breeder selects the offspring of pigeons with spotted bodies.

Spotted body is a trait that would be depicted by two different alleles ( such as one for black and other for white color).

As both the alleles for the color are represented in the pigeon offspring, therefore, it is a case of co-dominance ( let us take its genotype as Bb, where 'B' is allele for black and 'b' for white color).

When pigeons with spotted bodies are cross bred, they can produce pigeon with spotted and non spotted ( such as black 'BB', white 'bb', or spotted 'Bb' ) body depending upon the allele that is passed to the offspring.

Thus,  pigeon breeder selects the spotted bodies pigeons and then breed those offspring to see what new traits might appear next.
