Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an acid or alkali is added to a solution and the solution does not or slightly changes the pH then it is known as a buffer solution.

Natural water has pH 7 which shows that natural water is neutral. Natural water also contains various minerals and salts which does not affect its pH.

Therefore, minerals and salts acts as a buffer in natural water.

Whereas when all the minerals and salts are removed from natural water then it results in the formation of distilled water. That is pH of natural water changes.

A pH indicator has no role in natural water as a pH indicator helps to know the pH of a solution. And sulfuric acid being an acid changes the pH of natural water.

Why does the earth have different layers?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The earth has different layers because as it formed, the lighter parts (like continental crust) floated to the surface, and the really heavy parts (like iron and nickel in the core) sank to the middle. It is just like when you mix oil and water: the oil will float to the surface because it is lighter (or less dense) than the water.

Nearly all plant cells and many bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall. However, the roles these walls play in cell division dif
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: A. protein like tubules

B. Microtubules

C. Microfilaments

Explanation:

Cytokinesis in the bacteria is facilitated by the presence of these conserved tubulin-like proteins. Due to the fact that their walls are flexible, constriction of these walls is possible aiding in cytokinesis. Unlike in plant that have rigid cell wall, a cell plate is involved in the formation of a new cell wall between the daughter cells. Network of microtubules determines the position of the cell plate which is mostly like a disc in the middle of the two daughter cells. Cleavage furrow occurs in animal cells which is caused by the action of the contractile ring: a ring of actin microfilament.

Answer:

I would have to say A

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the first step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism. So we already know that it uses glucose because thats what its breaking down. Glycosis produces 2 ATP so B is wrong. Glycolysis happens in the cytoplasm so C is wrong. Finnaly aerobic is using free oxygen in the process of the reaction. However glycolysis uses no oxygen and is  anaerobic.
