Answer:

The electron microscope

Explanation:

<em>Fimbriae are very tiny appendages of about 3 to 10 nm in diameter found on the surface of most Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacterial cells. They are mostly utilized as a structure to adhere to one another, to other organisms, or any other surfaces.</em>

Fimbriae generally contain adhesins, a virulence factor that facilitates adhesion to surfaces and <u>due to their tiny size, they can only be viewed using the electron microscope</u> - the scanning electron microscope to be precise.

Answer;

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is the green pigment found in plants traps energy from the sun for photosynthesis.

Explanation;

-Green plants requires food for their day to day activities, thus they use the process of photosynthesis to make their own food, which they use to generate energy or store for the future use in form of starch.

Sound waves travel through gas liquid and solids A) True B) False
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

  • Sound is a form of Energy that produces a sensation of hearing in our ears.
  • Sound is produced as a result of vibration produced in a body.
  • Sound energy is transmitted from one place o other place by wave motion.
  • When a body vibrates, the particles of medium surrounding it starts vibrating about their mean position.
  • During vibration, they collide with the surrounding particle and transfer some energy to them.
  • They then start vibrating faster and transferring  energy to the next surrounding particle. This process continues till the vibration reaches a person ear.
  • Thus, particles are an important factor in propagation of sound.
  • Sound cannot travel in vacuum.
  • It requires a medium to travel from one point to another.
  • A sound can travel in all medium, solids, liquids and gases as all of these have particles.
  • The speed of sound is highest in solids and lowest in gases as the inter molecular space is largest in gases and smallest  in solids.

HELP URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br><br>​

If the paramecium was not able to contract its contractile vacuole, it would be in danger of bursting. The cell would not be able to hold too much water. This would happen faster if the paramecium was in water with a low salt concentration because there is more water and less salt, so the water would accumulate faster.
