In Haiti, UN workers accidentally introduced cholera.

The UN did not dispose of human waste correctly. This caused cholera to spread to local people.

The situation in Haiti could be improved by screening UN workers for illness, increasing water sanitation, and providing adequate sewage treatment.

Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake in January 2010. Subsequently, much infrastructure in<span> Haiti was destroyed, and many residents did not have access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Haiti suffered a devastating cholera outbreak soon after. Cholera is caused by a bacteria: Vibrio cholerae. The disease causes diarrhoea type symptoms. It is thought that the bacteria was introduced to Haiti by Nepalese peacekeepers from the UN. Since there was no safe sanitation, cholera sufferers would have contaminated the water supplies, leading to the spread of the bacteria in drinking water supplies. </span>

Which of the following statements regarding Entner-Doudoroff pathway is true?

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

C. ATP is generated

Explanation:

The Entner-Doudoroff pathway is one of the three glycolytic pathways that breakdown glucose into pyruvate. The Entner-Doudoroff pathway is the most common glycolytic pathway in microbes present in the soil such as <em>Rhizobium, Azotobacter,</em> etc.

The Entner-Doudoroff pathway forms glucose 6-phosphate from glucose which in turn is oxidized into 6-phosphogluconate. The 6-phosphogluconate finally forms pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate through a series of reactions. The glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate can enter the Embden-Meyerhof pathway to form one more molecule of pyruvate. During the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, one molecule of ATP and one NADPH are formed along with the formation of one molecule of each pyruvate and glyceraldehyde.

Answer:

I believe it would be these:

He can replace the 1.5-volt battery with a battery of higher voltage.

He can use a longer piece of wire that wraps more times around the bolt.

I'm not sure the others would work

Most species of cyanobacteria are enclosed in a _____.

Natali [406]

Answer: mucilaginous sheath

Explanation:

These algae are known as "blue algae" because of their pigmentation or "cyanobacteria" because they are prokaryotes. Microbiologists classify cyanobacteria in the realm of Eubacteria. They are the only prokaryote algae. The cellular organization is prokaryotic, without nuclei or organelles. Respiration takes place at the level of plasmalemma and thylakoids. In the center (nucleoplasm), cells contain their genome and circular plasmids. Cyanobacteria often also have a mucilaginous sheath common to many trichomes.

These organisms contain several carotenoid pigments, particularly myxoxanthophyll, which does not occur in any other algae group. Some cyanobacteria are strictly phototrophic, others are optional: they are phototrophic when in the presence of light, but may grow in obscurity using an organic carbon source. Others can use a source of organic carbon as well as inorganic carbon, but only in the presence of light.
