Answer:

Option B, The neutral nature of water changes due to mixing of various salts, bases, and acids, thus changing its pH.

Explanation:

Water obtained from natural sources like underground water, sea water, rain water etc are not neutral in nature. This is so because water extracted from all these sources contains several dissolved salts/chemical components which either reduces or increases their pH.

The ground water contains lot of dissolved carbonates and bicarbonates (as it remains in contact of rocks beneath the earth) due which it becomes extremely hard and has a pH greater than 7. On the other hand rain and snow water are acidic in nature and have a pH between 5 to 6.

Thus, it is only due to the dissolved bases and acids in natural water which makes it either acidic or basic in nature.

Which are the three main types of lipids
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The three main types of lipids are - triglycerides, diglycerides, and steroids.

Explanation:

Lipids are organic compounds that are fatty acids or their derivatives. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether). The three common lipids are triglycerides, diglycerides, and steroids.

An ester derived from glycerol and three fatty acids is a triglyceride. These are the main component of body fat in the vertebrates as well as the vegetable fat.

A Glyceride consisting of 2 fatty acid chains bonded to a glycerol molecule covalently through ester linkages is a diglyceride.

Biologically active organic compounds with four rings arranged in a specific molecular configuration are steroids.

Mila [183]

There are microorganisms that are able to live in extreme environments under adverse conditions of pH, temperature and salinity. These microorganisms are classified as extremophiles.  Within the group of extremophiles there are halophilic bacteria, which are those capable of living in extremely saline environments.

One biological factor that all living things are subject to suffer from is osmotic pressure. Halophilic microorganisms have developed mechanisms to adapt to saline environments where osmotic pressure acts with great intensity on individuals. These bacteria change the chemical composition of their membranes and also accumulate osmoprotective compounds in their cytoplasm to compensate for osmotic stress.
