Hurricanes (also known as typhoons or cyclones, depending on the location on Earth where they form) are often associated with extremely powerful winds and torrential rains. I am not sure about the pressure, but the only option here that mentions both strong winds and a lot of rain is A. low pressure, high winds, high precipitation, so I'd say that is the correct answer.
Answer:
A pons structure is a bulbous shape and has two main components - the basis pontis (aka basal/ventral part) and the pontine tegmentum (aka dorsal part). In Psychology the pons is the structure of the brain the acts like the "bridge"(Latin ) for the midbrain and medulla.
Explanation:
Hope that helps
Answer:
D
Explanation:
When a substance moves from low to high concentration it is moving against its concentration gradient, which requires more energy.
A. It depends on where it is moving, not the substance
OB. This is describing diffusion
OC. Does not require energy, it is passive transport through a semi-permeable membrane
Fog begins to form when water vapor condenses into tiny liquid water droplets that are suspended in the air.
Answer:
<u>Biofilms are</u> defined as complex communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-produced polymeric organic matrix and adhered to a living or inert surface, and that can present a single microbial species or a range of different species
Explanation:
The bacteria that form the biofilm are in what is called sessile form, exhibiting a phenotype different from those of the same cells in unicellular or free form (planktonic form) with respect to the growth rate and gene transcription (Donlan, 2002 ).
<u>
The formation</u> of biofilms is an adaptive strategy of microorganisms, since growth in biofilm offers four important advantages: (I) protects microorganisms from the action of adverse agents, (II) increases the availability of nutrients for their growth, (III) facilitates the use of water, reducing the possibility of dehydration and (IV) enables the transfer of genetic material (DNA). All of these circumstances can increase your survival capabilities. As a consequence, <u>the usual methods of disinfection or the use of antibiotics are often ineffective against biofilm bacteria</u>.
In addition to the risk of contamination, the development of biofilms can interfere with different processes and cause damage to the equipment. In drinking water systems the formation of biofilms can obstruct the pipes reducing their speed and transport capacity causing an increase in energy consumption. The formation of biofilm in heat exchangers and cooling towers can reduce heat transfer and as a consequence its efficiency in the process. The formation of persistent biofilms on metal surfaces can cause corrosion due to acid production by bacteria.
