Answer:

<em>S. aureus</em> is spherical and arranged in clusters

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>is a gram positive bacteria that forms a part of our body microbiota. It is usually found on skin and in upper respiratory tract. The genus name of this organism is <em>Staphylococcus </em>which tells a lot about its morphology. Cocci or coccus is the name given to bacteria who appear spherical. Staph points out to their arrangement which is in clusters. Had it been <em>Streptococcus</em>, it would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in long chains. Similarly, <em>Diplococcus</em> would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in groups of two. Hence from the name <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em> we can say that it is spherical and arranged in clusters.

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Allisa [31]

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
