Answer:

The answer is It has partial positive and negative charges at each end.

Explanation:

When a neutral molecule has a positive area at one end and a negative area at the other, it is a polar molecule. Water is a polar molecule, because there is an irregular distribution of electron density in it. This means that water has a negative partial charge near the oxygen atom and a positive partial charge near hydrogen atoms.

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The chemical formula of water is H_{2}O.

Here, hydrogen is electropositive whereas oxygen atom is electronegative in nature. Hence, oxygen atom pulls electrons from hydrogen atom and as a result partial positive charge develops on hydrogen and partial negative charge develops on oxygen atom.

Therefore, molecule of water becomes polar in nature.

Thus, water is considered a polar molecule because it has partial positive and negative charges at each end.

As described in "A Note About Bacterial Reproduction -- and the "Culture Bias,"" the organism Epulopiscium does not divide by bi
gayaneshka [121]

In liquid media or broth difference between dry and wet will give biomass of the Epulopiscium.

Explanation:

Biomass of bacteria can be measured by dry or wet mass. Bacteria numbers can be counted by spread plate method under the microscope.

In solid media the colonies obtained are diluted and number of cells will be seen by plate count method or on automated cell counter. The number would help calculate biomass

The biomass will be calculated by measuring wet and dry mass. Equipments required will be:

hydraulic gravity convection oven and centrifugation set up.

A cellulose acetate filter membrane is used which is 47 mm in diameter and 0.45 micron of pore size.

The cells  grown settles down due to gravity. They are stirred to evenly spread in the broth and is kept in centrifuge.

The cells obtained after centrifugation will be taken and wet weight is obtained.

To obtain dry weight the cells are placed in oven for 6 hours to 24 hours. The resultant cells are weighed and dry weight obtained.

Biomass will be calculated by subtracting the wet mass to dry mass. This way biomass is obtained in epulopisicuium. Here the cells will be of different size so on centrifugation 2 or more phases of cells can be seen due to gravity change.
