I think the answer is 90%. According to the recent National institute of Health, Microbes in the human body estimates that 90% of the cells in human body are bacterial, fungal, or otherwise non-human. Despite the arguments that bacteria enjoys a commensal relationship with the humans hosts, only a fraction of the human microbia has been characterized.

Answer:

According to some research, the bacterial count in our body is 10 times more than the count of cells the human body is made up of.  

This means that out of every ten cells nine cells are microbial cells so at least 90% of cells in the human body are the cells of independent microorganisms.

Trillions of microbial cells alone present in our intestine which outnumbers the cells human body is made up of. Microbes live in symbiotic relationship with our body and play an important role in our survival. Microbes normally present in or on our body is called human microbiome.

HELP!! The figure below shows ocean currents. Where will climate change slow the currents the most, causing colder temperatures,
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Along the Kuroshio Current, because it is carrying water north towards melting ice caps

Explanation:

The ocean currents have the tendency to be faster when they are warmer, and to be slower when they are colder. The reason for this is that the warmer water is less dense, thus it can move more quickly, while the colder water is denser, thus heavier, so it moves slower. The Kuroshio Current moves from the lower latitudes toward the higher latitudes. As it does, this ocean current is becoming colder and colder as it gets closer to the higher latitudes, so it is becoming denser, heavier, and because of it slower. Another thing that will contribute to this current's slowing down are the melting ice caps because of the climate change, as they will make the water even colder, and the Kuroshio Current will come across this cold water, so it will decrease its speed significantly.
