Answer:

The bacteria were growing through fermentation process.

Explanation:

Cyanide have the ability to prevent the growth of microbes, and that is why it usually added to paints that want to be applied to places where the growth of microbes will be harmful to people.

The ships' hull where ballast water is been stored needed to be painted with cyanide to prevent the growth of microbes.

It should be noted that,  anaerobic microbes have the ability to reduce cyanide compound through a process known as submerged fermentation.

In the case of ships' hull, the bacteria growing on the hull were anaerobic, which means, they carried out their activities in the absence of oxygen.

How do polar and nonpolar regions assist the membrane in regulation ​
Katarina [22]
Molecules that are hydrophilic (water loving) are capable of forming bonds with water and other hydrophilic molecules. They are called polar molecules. ... Small, nonpolar molecules (ex: oxygen and carbon dioxide) can pass through the lipid bilayer and do so by squeezing through the phospholipid bilayers.

2. What is an example of something studied on the molecular level (as opposed to the atomic level)?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Something studied on the molecular level is the water.

Explanation:

Water is a molecule formed by two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, whose chemical representation is H₂O. It is a molecule whose polarity makes it a universal solvent of other polar molecules.

The molecular level corresponds to the level of organization where two or more atoms unite to form molecules or substances, united by chemical bonds. H₂O is studied at this level due to its chemical structure.

With respect to other options:

  • <u><em>Hydrogen and oxygen</em></u><em> are atoms, and correspond to the level of atomic organization.</em>
  • <u><em>Protons</em></u><em> are particles that are part of an atom, and correspond to the subatomic level.</em>

What is a ecosystem? write 2 to 5 sentences to explain it​
Nonamiya [84]

Ecosystem is that it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment.

For instance, tropical forests are ecosystems made up of living beings such as trees, plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms that are in constant interaction between themselves and that are affected by other physical (sun, temperature) or chemical (oxygen or nutrients) components.


An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms together with their physical environment.
Ecosystems can be of different sizes and can be marine, aquatic, or terrestrial. Broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems are called biomes.
In ecosystems, both matter and energy are conserved. Energy flows through the system—usually from light to heat—while matter is recycled.
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable with greater resistance and resilience in the face of disturbances, or disruptive events.

Water at about 4°C (39°F) is more dense than water at 0°C (32°F). Why would the living organisms in the lake die if the water at
9966 [12]
The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients. <span>Water is actually less dense when frozen, which is why ice cubes and ice bergs all float. This is also why you can ice skate on a lake if the ice gets thick enough on the surface. Many organisms that live in freezing lakes have special adaptations which help them survive.</span>
