7 0

<span>The trouble with identifying bacteria is that a lot of them look exactly the same. So, identifying by shape and such will only get you so far. However, two kinds of bacteria that look exactly the same under the microscope could have very different physiologists. One may be able to use a certain sugar as an energy source while the other one cannot, for example. Therefore, you can use morphology (physical characteristics) to narrow down the possibilities, but then you must complete the identification using the bacteria's physiology.</span>

Which type of energy is the flow of electrons from a negative to a positive?

statuscvo [17]

AC is the kind of electrical flow we get from a typical electrical outlet in a home. AC is when the electrons flow in two directions, from the positive to the negative terminal and from the negative to the positive terminal, 'alternating' between the two directions.

Solutes are sometimes measured in milliosmoles. Explain the statement, 'Water chases milliosmoles."

aniked [119]

Answer: Water is an excellent solvent meaning solutes will freely diffuse and be dispersed in a solution of water very quickly.

Explanation: Water has many properties that allow it to break up and dissolve many materials in addition to its natural ability to spread out and disperse a lot of solutes meaning that water might not literally chase milliosmoles, but it will move them around very quickly and efficiently.
