This means that Staphylococcus aureus is more tolerant to salt (NaCl), however, E. coli is sensitive to NaCl concentrations more than 10%. This also means that Staphylococcus has more fluid in its cytoplasm, as compared to E. coli, which enables it to tolerate in high salt concentration. Further, this also indicates the ability of both microbes to grow on different media compositions and have different nutritional requirements.

Place the steps below in order from the first to happen to the last that will happen in hemostasis. Chemicals are released from
Deffense [45]

Answer:

A blood vessel is severed.

Blood and blood components leak out the breaks.

Chemicals are released from the injury site and from underlying callogen.

The smooth muscle in the vessel wall contracts near the injury point, reducing blood loss.

Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin.

The platelets become activated making them spiked and sticky.

Fibrin forms a mesh that traps more platelets and erythrocytes, producing a clot.

Explanation:

Hemostasis is the process by which the body prevents and stop blood loss through bleeding.

Hemostasis occurs in three steps:

1. Vasoconstriction: Once a blood vessel is severed or cut, the smooth muscles of the blood vessels start to constrict or get narrower around the severed vessel in order to reduce blood flow through it. This vasoconstriction occurs in response to chemicals released from the cut vessel and the underlying collagen.

2. Platelet-plug formation: the platelets become activated by a glycoprotein called Von Willebrand factor (vWF), which is found in plasma and begin to clump together sticking together. This is known as primary hemostasis.

3. Clot formation: in response to platelet-plug formation, several clotting factors are activated which eventually convert fibrinogen to fibrin. Fibrin is mesh-like and holds the platelets as well as red and white blood cells in place, thereby forming blood-clots over the wound.

How does the ocean currents affect climate?
viva [34]

Horizontal currents moving northward or southward may carry warmed or cooled water for very long distance. The displaced warm water raises the temperature of the air while the cold water cools the air, and the land surface where the blows. For instance, water from the tropical Atlantic moves northwards through Atlantic in a Gulf Stream suffusing the Western Europe’s shores thus producing a mild climate. The mild climate raises the temperatures of the region higher than the regions across the Atlantic but on the same latitude. The Gulf Stream explains why Canada's east coast is locked in ice while England is not especially during winter. The current cooling events being experienced in Western Europe is attributed to the Gulf Stream slowing down as a result of the global warming which has caused the polar ice cap to melt and slowing down the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt.
