Answer:

HEALTH SECTOR(microorganisms have led to the most devastating diseases of man such as HIV VIRUS, HEPATITIS VIRUS, SALMONELLA TYPHI AND PARATYPHI SPPS)

INDUSTRY(microorganisms have led to masses losses due to contamination of foods like the GROWTH OF MOLDS)

ENVIRONMENT most contamination of the environment are caused by microorganisms.

Explanation:Louis Pasteur meant that with the microscopic nature of microorganisms they have been able to make great impact in the world.

IN THE HEALTH SECTOR Microorganisms have been the major cause of the diseases of human and animals world wide, diseases such as Hepatitis A,B,C Virus,Typhoid caused by Bacteria (Salmonella typhy and paratyphy spp) etc have been a cause of a huge number of death.

INDUSTRY

Microorganisms are major causes of loss in the industries leading to large scale contamination of food products, such as Fungi infestation on foods especially of plants origin. MICROORGANISMS ALSO HAVE BENEFITS IN THE INDUSTRY AS IT IS USED IN THE FERMENTATION OF FOOD PRODUCTS.

IN THE ENVIRONMENT

Microorganisms are the major cause of environmental hazards such as the contamination of water bodies, the air (THE HUMAN FLU VIRUS) etc ALL THESE MICROORGANISMS HAVE CAUSED MASSIVE DEATHS THE WORLD OVER.

The decay of Francium produces radium-223 (Ra-223) through a beta decay or into astatine-219 through an alpha decay. The atomic number of Francium is 87, and that of Astatine is 85.

<h3>What is beta decay?</h3>

Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from the nucleus of an atom. During the beta decay, a proton in the nucleus is transformed into a neutron and vice versa which results into change in the number of proton in the nucleus. If a proton is converted to a neutron, then it is said to be β+ decay. And, if a neutron is converted to a proton, then it is said to be β– decay.

In this reaction, an atom of Francium (Fr-223) is undergoing a beta decay to produce radium (Ra-88) by the conversion of a neutron into a proton.

Write a letter to the congressman telling him why it is important to find new sources of energy.
Sonbull [250]
Congressman,

I am writing to tell you that energy comes in many forms, and we should start investing in and finding new sources of energy. Resources such as coal are depleting as demand and population rise. Therefore, we should move to renewable sources of energy, such as solar, wind and water power.

Regards,

Student

The bicarbonate buffering system in the blood is the most important buffering system in the ECF. Bicarbonate ion and carbonic ac
wlad13 [49]

The bicarbonate buffering system in the blood is the most important buffering system in the ECF. Bicarbonate ion and carbonic acid are the key components of this buffering system. The weak base <u>bicarbonate</u> serves to buffer the strong acid <u>H+</u><u>.</u> The buffer to the strong base <u>OH-</u><u> </u>is <u>carbonic acid</u>. The byproduct of these reactions is <u>water.</u>

Explanation:

A buffer system utilizes chemical buffers and resists any changes in the pH and adjusts acidity and alkalinity of the medium by binding or releasing H+ ions accordingly.  

A bicarbonate buffering system in the ECF regulates the bicarbonate level and maintains the normal acidity level of blood.

Sodium bicarbonate reacting with a strong acid (HCl) produces a weak acid (carbonic acid) and sodium chloride. A strong base like (NaOH) reacts with carbonic acid producing bicarbonate and water.

NaHCo3 + HCl → H2CO3 + NaCl

H2Co3 + NaOH → HCO3 + H20

The acidity of the blood is regulated by maintaining the ratio of bicarbonate and carbonic acid at 20:1 under normal conditions through the bicarbonate buffer system. The carbonic acid level is regulated by the respiratory system; while carbonate level is regulated by the renal system.

Which of the following occurs during the ecological succession of an ecosystem?
sergey [27]

The answer is <span>c. Living organisms modify their environment a little at a time.</span>


The purpose of succession is for an ecosystem to reach balance state right after it is formed or after it is disturbed by man or some disasters. It will increase biodiversity and help to prevent the desertification. Living organisms modify environment a little at a time. By modifying it, they make the environment more suitable for the new species to enter the community.
