5. In 1928, Alexander Fleming noticed that a mysterious blue-green fungus had grown on some bacterial colonies that were known t

o cause strep throat. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the bacterial colonies did not survive when introduced to the fungus. He questioned if something in the fungus stopped the bacteria from growing. Which steps in the scientific method are included in this story

Answer:

The steps that can be seen in this story are observation and the questioning phase, which can also be called elaboration of the problem.

Explanation:

The scientific method is a set of phases that are able to guide researchers to the creation of scientific knowledge, through an experiment. This method is essential for conducting scientific research, allowing an experiment to be managed in a way that promotes answers to scientists' questions. The scientific method presents the phases called observation, questioning (or elaboration of the problem), elaboration of hypotheses, experimentation, analysis of the results and conclusion.

In the story shown in the question above, we can see the phases called observation and questioning. The observation takes place the moment Fleming noticed a fungus capable of growing on colonies of bacteria that cause throat infections, killing them. This observation made him enter the questioning phase, when he wondered if the fungus was able to prevent the growth of these bacteria.

How do small intestinal epithelial and root hair cells function in nutrient procurement?
Usimov [2.4K]
<span>Villi are hair-like structures covered with epithelial cells measuring 1.5 mm that line the mucous inner membrane of the small intestine. The epithelial cells of the villi contain microvilli and are responsible for the absorption of nutrients. Being so small and numerous, they effectively increase the absorptive surface area of the small intestine. When the surface area increases, this is the time they absorb the nutrients. As for plants' root hair cells, they receive nutrients through osmosis. Root hair cells are adapted for this by having a large surface area to speed up osmosis. The absorbed water and minerals are transported through the roots to the rest of the plant where it is used for different purposes: It is a reactant used in photosynthesis. As we can see, both of them utilize increasing their surface area.</span>

The original source of ALL energy for living organisms is ___________, while the most direct, useable source of energy to be use
denpristay [2]

The correct answer is option C

The original source of energy is the sun while most of the energy in the organisms is used in the form of energy. The energy from the sun is used by the green plants to make food by the process of photosynthesis and this food is used by the human beings and animals. The energy in animals and human is in the form of ATP.

Why can food chains
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

A. Because energy is lost at every level.

Explanation:

energy decreases as it travels from lower levels to upper levels--which is a logical observation you could make.

Think of it like this--if a fish eats a small organism, it will then spend some of the energy obtained from the organism swimming around--so when a larger fish eats our fish, the energy from the original organism will already be partially lost (from our fish swimming around).

This means that when this pattern continues over multiple levels, we keep losing energy--which limits the environment's capacity for organisms to survive.

Hope this helps, have a lovely day :)
