Answer:

<h2>a. drastically lower the pH.</h2>

Explanation:

H2S is inorganic molecule, and bacteria that gain energy from inorganic molecules are called chemolithotrophs. Sulfur oxidizing bacteria basically oxidize H2S to gain energy.

It is also true that, not all bacteria are sulfur oxidizing. There are many different types of bacteria with different ways of getting energy. They can do photosynthesis, oxidize iron, oxidize hydrogen, etc.

Some bacteria oxidize H2S because they have no direct access to sunlight.

In these bacteria, H2S is used instead of water. This drastically lower the pH.

1.What taxon (classification levels) are represented by the scientific name of an organism? What are the rules for writing the s
Ksivusya [100]

<u>Answer</u>:

1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.

b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.

Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):

A. the genus or generic name

- written first

- always underlined or italicized

- the first letter is always capitalized

ex. <em>Canis</em>

B. the specific epithet or species name

- is written second

- always underlined or italicized

- never capitalized

ex. <em>lupus</em>

<em />

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.

Svetach [21]
<span>The answer is B.mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein. According to the central dogma of molecular biology, DNA sequence specifies RNA sequence which specifies protein sequence. DNA sequence is first copied into mRNA sequence during transcription. Later, during translation, mRNA codons are joined by tRNA anticodons to assemble amino acids to form a protein</span>
