<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option B, the diver will hear the sound first.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Sound need a medium to travel from one place to another, the medium where atoms are more closely packed together, the better will be speed of sound. That is why sound won’t travel in a vacuum because there are no particles to bump together to transmit the vibration.

  1. In air, the particles are generally far from each other so they travel further before they bump into one another.
  2. In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next. This means that the sound wave travels over four times faster than it would in air.

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.
