Answer:

Some bacteria are used as indicators because if they are present in the product, we can say that it is a product with the presence of pathogens that will cause diseases. Some of them are: total coliforms, fecal coliforms and enterococci.

To be a good indicator they must have a correlation with the pathogens and be more abundant than them. Its presence in a food indicates the possible presence simultaneous pathogen microorganisms. For example, E. coli has been used as Index of possible presence of pathogens of enteric origin in water and food

Three lots with parallel side boundaries extend from the avenue to the boulevard as shown answer

larisa86 [58]

Three lots with parallel side boundaries extend from the avenue to the boulevard as shown in the diagram attached.

Given;
x + y + z = 140 meters

According to the proportion theorem,

$\frac{x}{40} = \frac{y}{30}$

Solving for x, using cross multiplication:

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{40y}{30}$

Similarly,

x/40 = z/35

solving for z by cross multiplication,

z = 35x/40
z = 7x/8

Now, the third proportions,
y/30 = z/35

Solving for y,

y = 30z/35
y = 6z/7

x + y + z = 140

4y/3 + 6z/7 + 7x/8 = 140

(224y + 144z + 147x)/168 = 140

224y + 144z + 147x = 23520

Substitutoing z = 7x/8,

224y + (144 × 7x/8) + 147x = 23520

224y + 126x + 147x = 23520

224y + 273x = 23520
Now,
Substitute y = 3x/4

(224×3x/4) + 273x = 23520

168x + 273x = 23520

441x = 23520

x = 53.33

Now,
We know that
y = 3x/4
so,
y = 40

And,
z = 7x/8
Z = 46.66

A prokaryote is most likely to use which of the following modes of metabolism to release energy if it is in an environment witho

Effectus [21]

Most heterotrophs are chemoorganoheterotrophs (or simply organotrophs) who utilize organic compounds both as a carbon source and an energy source. The term "heterotroph" very often refers to chemoorganoheterotrophs. Heterotrophs function as consumers in food chains: they obtain organic carbon by eating autotrophs or other heterotrophs. Most opisthokonts and prokaryotes are heterotrophic
