Sati [7]3 years ago

The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.

The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is _____ kcal.
Nezavi [6.7K]
The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is 1636 kcal.
Basal metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Any increase to the metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase the basal metabolic rate.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:the correct option is B

(Streptococcus).

Explanation:

Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) occurs due to poor oral hygiene which encourages plaque to form on teeth, causing inflammation of the surrounding gum tissues. The microorganisms that are known to inhabit the damaged tissues are oral spirochaete which includes Borrelia,Fusobacteria, Bacteroidese and Peptostreptococcus. Streptococcus is not an oral spirochaete therefore is excluded. I hope this helps.
