The turbine in a hydroelectric dam is turned by water to produce a direct current

Answer:

Option C,  It is turned by water to turn a wire inside a magnet.

Explanation:

In a hydroelectric power plant, the water is stored and then releases from greater heights which produce force enough to turn the turbine. These turbine then activates a generator to produce electricity. With in the generator a wire is set between two magnets , which start rotating to produce AC current.  

Electricity produced by rotating wire fixed between the magnets is always an AC current. Therefore option B is incorrect.  

Option A and D is incorrect as in producing hydroelectric energy it is the water which is used to rotate the turbine and not the wind. Also only AC current is produced by the hydroelectric dam.

In addition to the transmission electron microscope (TEM), there is another type of electron microscope that is frequently used
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The basic difference between SEM and TEM is that TEM generates an image with the assistance of radiation that goes through the specimen, while the images generated by the SEM take place with the assistance of electrons getting released from the surface of the specimen.

SEM is primarily used to examine the composition of the surface, with the help of SEM one can study the microbes present in the ecological niche like in the lining of the gut and human skin. Due to its great depth, it is considered the electron microscope analog of a stereo light microscope. It helps in providing complete images of the cells present on the surface, which are not easy to get with the help of TEM. Due to its enhanced functionality, it can also be used for size determination and particle counting, and also for process control.

Purple sulfur bacteria and filamentous sulfur-oxidizers both A. accumulate sulfur as intracellular granules.B. fix nitrogen.C. p
aksik [14]

Answer:

Option A, accumulate sulfur as intracellular granules.

Explanation:

Purple sulfur bacteria  belong to the group of Proteobacteria. These probacterias are  anaerobic  in nature and yet are able to photosynthesise. They are usually found in  water environments  such as hot springs, stagnant water etc. They use sulphur (either in the form of sulfide, or thiosulfate) as an electron donor in their photosynthetic activity to oxidise sulfur thereby producing granules of elemental sulfur.

while filamentous sulfur oxidizers use nitrate instead of oxygen to oxidize sulfide thereby producing granules.

Hence, option A is correct.
