Answer:

Clusters of cocci (i.e., grape-like cocci)

Explanation:

Cocci (in singular coccus) are spherical-shaped bacteria, while bacilli and spirilli are rod-shaped and spiral-shaped bacteria, respectively (in general, bacteria can be divided into these three categories by shape). <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> forms irregular clusters of cocci (i.e., grape-like cocci) when viewed through a microscope. Some Gram-positive cocci include, for example, <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> and <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>. These species are well known to be bacterial pathogens capable of infecting humans.

Troyanec [42]

(b) electrolytes are what sodium, chloride, and potassium in cells and body fluids are examples of.

When dissolved in water or bodily fluids, a substance called an electrolyte separates into ions (particles having electrical charges). The ions sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, and phosphate are only a few examples.

The many electrolytes include sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride, phosphate, and magnesium. They come from the meals you consume and the liquids you drink.

Your body's electrolyte levels might get too high or too low. When your body's water balance changes, this may occur. The amount of water you consume and lose should be equal. If something throws off this equilibrium, you can be dehydrated or have too much water on your body (overhydration).

sladkih [1.3K]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Scientists are testing the effect of different scrubber technologies on the removal of pollutants from coal power plants. The scrubbers use a slurry of limestone and water. Which of the following best describes the impact of modifying the slurry by increasing the amount of limestone? The amount of sulfur dioxide released will decrease. A The amount of ground-level ozone released will decrease. B The amount of water released will increase. C The amount of carbon monoxide released will increase. "

Answer:

The amount of sulfur dioxide released will decrease.

Explanation:

As you may already know, coal is a fossil fuel and burning it releases many toxic gases into the atmosphere, including sulfur dioxide.

A suspension of water and limestone, allows the calcium present in limestone to enter into reaction with sulfur dioxide, forming calcium sulfide and decreasing the emission of sulfur in the atmosphere.

The greater the amount of limestone in this suspension, the less sulfur dioxide will be released into the environment.
