Answer:

The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.  

An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.  

All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.

vampirchik [111]

Geiger-Muller tube is instruments requires you test three times the background of the work area.

<u>Explanation</u>:

These detectors are gas filled detectors and hence requires time for responding to the value. This time is taken because during this period it collects the electric charges and features of the electric circuit. It also gets stabilized during this period. This device has thumb rule i.e one must wait or hold for at the least 3 times the time constant before getting the precise and accurate reading. The time constant order is 10 seconds for the ionization chamber but for the Geiger counter it can vary from seconds to greater than 20 seconds

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system A. increases salivation and increases blood pressure. B. decreases salivation and i
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

B. decreases salivation and increases blood pressure

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomous nervous system which controls involuntary responses of the body such as salivation and blood pressure.

The sympathetic nervous system  is majorly responsible for body actions that are produced when threat is perceived. It generates responses referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Examples of such responses include, increased breathing, increased high blood pressure, dilation, decreased salivation, etc.

Activation of the sympathetic nervous system would result in rise in the blood pressure as can be witnessed by someone whose body has perceived a threat or reacting to a stressful situation.

The control of salivary production by the sympathetic nervous system  leads to the release of noradrenaline which acts on certain receptors that results in decrease in the production of saliva. This is evident in a person that is facing a threat also.
