I think option B
Explanation:
Because earth tetonic plates
<span>Although it is not mentioned the location, I found the exercise on the internet with the following options:
A)weathering and erosion of park pathways
B)deterioration of the man-made structures in the park
C)pattern and timing of leaf loss in the shade trees
D)exposure of rocks and minerals found in the soil
The only effect, out of this options, that would be studied by biologists is the "pattern and timing of leaf loss in the shade trees". This is the only effect related to life, which is the subject of biology - living organisms and their mechanisms. Leaf loss is a process undergone by many trees as colder seasons, or dry seasons in the case of trees in tropical forests, approach.</span>
There are 12 chromosomes contain at the end of meiosis II. The events of meiosis II are most similar to
mitosis, Meiosis replaces gametes for sexual reproduction. Meiosis sexual t is
a Type of reproduction. Meiosis is a Replication
of DNA.
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.
