It oxidies iron and inorganic sulfur compounds. The oxidation process can be harmful, as it produces sulfuric acid, which is a major pollutant. It has been suggested that T. ferrooxidans forms a symbiotic relationship with members of the genus Acidiphilium, a bacterial capable of iron reduction. Other species of Thiobacillus grow in water and sediment; there are both freshwater and marine strains.
The bacteria are usually found in rivers, canals, mine drainage effluents and mining areas. So there may be some source of these bacilli near their house.They require inorganic sources to grow and contain an enzyme called ferrous oxidase that allows them to metabolize iron.
<span>They eat iron pipes corroding the pipes leading into households and produce a thick slime layer biofilm.</span>
Answer:
First, the last picture
second, the third picture
third, the second or first (the picture is blurr so i dunno)
then the last is, the fourth.
sorry if wrong.
Answer: D) By decreasing the activation energy of a reaction
A catalyst is a substance that speed up the rate of chemical reaction without affecting the product of the reaction. They only affect the rate of reaction not the yield of reaction.
Catalyst provide an alternative reaction pathway that has lower activation energy than that of uncatalysed reaction. It increases the frequency of collision and because of these greater collision which lowers the activation energy of the reaction.
Answer:
The answer is D.) igneous or metamorphic.
Explanation:
Answer:
Any combination of D, E and F
Explanation:
Since A, B, and C belong to different orders, and D, E and F belong to the same order, the latter are more closely related and thus are expected to show a greater degree of structural homology. They are closer to their common ancestor than A, B and C.
