Answer:

Streptococcus

Explanation:

Coccus (plural cocci) bacteria are those that are oval or spherical in shape when viewed under a microscope. Coccus bacteria end up forming different shapes when they reproduce or multiply.

When they grow in clusters, they are referred to as Staphylococci, when in chains, they are streptococci and when they are arranged in pairs, they are diplococci. Enterococci are arranged in short chains or in pairs but usually gram positive in nature.

The correct option is streptococcus.

Answer:

<em>Streptococcus</em>

Explanation:

Bacteria can be grouped based on their physical characteristics. Cocci are spherical shaped bacteria, and based on their arrangement can be grouped as:

Diplococci: they appear in pairs

Streptococci: they appear in a chain

Staphylococci: they appear as a cluster (grape-like)

<em>Streptococcus </em>is a bacteria genus known to cause many types of diseases. They grow in pairs or chains.

Note that: staphylococci and streptococci are used denote to denote the arrangement of the cells, <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus </em>are bacteria genus. They are named so based on the shape and arrangement of their cells.

ValentinkaMS [17]

 The right option is Courtship

Courtship is a behavior in which different species interact and select their partners for mating which leads to reproduction. Most times, the female specie chooses the desired male to mate with before copulation.  Various behaviours such as display of strength, dancing and vocal utterance are often used during courtship. For the question given above,<span>the type of behavior displayed by the species of balloon flies is an example of courtship.

Local and global winds are set in motion by air moving in convection cells. Describe the motion of air in a convection cell. Be
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Due to the earth spherical shape, different latitudes of the planet receive varying solar energy levels from the sun. This is due to the differences in how the sun rays hit the earth surfaces and differences in the length of atmosphere the rays have to travel before they reach the earth's surface.

The equatorial regions get the most energy levels from the sun hence their atmosphere gets heated faster and the hottest. The air mass in this latitude, therefore, gets less fast dense  and begins to rise. The cooler and denser air mass from the poles rushes in, through the  lower atmosphere, to replace the void of the rising air.

When this air mass also gets heated, it too begins to rise. Remember the initial air mass cooled as it rose into the upper atmosphere. This now makes it denser than the air mas below it. As the hotter air mass begins to rise from below it pushes the cooler air mass above laterally. After the lateral movement, the air mass begins to sink slowly as it moves towards the poles because the incoming air mass gets denser than the local air mass.

The lateral movement of the convection current moving to the north is deflected to the north-west due to the Coriolis effect of the earth rotation while the lateral movement of the convection current moving south is deflected to the south-west. These pockets of convection currents are called Hadley cells.
