Answer:

S. aureus is spherical and arranged in clusters

Explanation:

Staphylococcus aureus 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 Staphylococcus 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 Streptococcus, it would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in long chains. Similarly, Diplococcus would mean that the bacteria were spherical and arranged in groups of two. Hence from the name Staphylococcus aureus we can say that it is spherical and arranged in clusters.

A dog eats a pound of dog food. What happens to the energy and chemical nutrients in the food over the next several days?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The energy is mostly released as heat through the dog's activities; the nutrients either become part of the dog's body or are released to the ecosystem as wastes like urine, feces, and exhaled gases.

Explanation:

The food that is consumed by an organism is digested and the nutrients obtained from the food are partly absorbed by the digestive system and assimilated and stored into the body and the nutrients that are not absorbed are released in the form of feces.
The chemical energy obtained from the food is released in the form of heat through the activities that are done by the dog.
