Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

  • The process by which water changes its state from liquid to gaseous is known as evaporation.
  • Evaporation is the process that contributes to increased salinity of the ocean.
  • The process of evaporation removes water and hence as the water level decreases due to the rise of water vapor into the atmosphere, more salt is left behind in lesser water, thus increasing the salinity.

RUDIKE [14]

Hi. You have not submitted any images about the microorganism the question refers to. This makes it impossible for me to answer your question. However, I will try to help you as best I can.

Gram stain is a test done to find out whether the bacteria are gram negative or gram positive. In this test, the bacteria are submitted to a certain type of dye and then are observed under a microscope. If the bacteria is gram positive, it will be purple in color. If the bacteria is gram negative, it will be red in color.

This is because after they are subjected to the violet dye, both types of bacteria absorb the color of the dye. However, before being observed under the microscope, the bacteria are washed with alcohol. Alcohol removes the dye from the gram negative bacteria, leaving them reddish. On the other hand, in gram positive bacteria, alcohol dehydrates the cell wall, compressing the pores and making the cell wall impermeable, preventing the dye from being released and, therefore, leaving the bacteria with a purple color.
