Underwater Ways!
The Aquarius Reef Base is an underwater habitat 5.4 meters off Key Largo in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. It is deployed on the ocean floor 62 ft below the surface and next to a deep coral reef called Conch Reef.
(That is all I can tell you.)
Plant produces glucose in the chloroplast through the process of photosynthesis. Calvin cycle is basically the biological process through which glucose is produced. The steps involved are as follows:
1. Absorbed CO2 is added to RuBP and 6C sugar is formed.
2. Breaking of 6C sugar into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules
3. ATP gives phosphate group to form 3-phosphoglycerate which is later on converted into 1,3-biphosphoglycerate.
4. Electons are required by 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to an aldehyde called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or G3P and these electrons are donated by NADPH
5. Enzyme aldolase uses two molecules of G3P to produce 6 C sugar called fructose-1,6-biphosphate which is further converted to fructose-6-phosphate
6. Enzyme isomerase converts fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate
Answer:
<u>Biofilms are</u> defined as complex communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-produced polymeric organic matrix and adhered to a living or inert surface, and that can present a single microbial species or a range of different species
Explanation:
The bacteria that form the biofilm are in what is called sessile form, exhibiting a phenotype different from those of the same cells in unicellular or free form (planktonic form) with respect to the growth rate and gene transcription (Donlan, 2002 ).
<u>
The formation</u> of biofilms is an adaptive strategy of microorganisms, since growth in biofilm offers four important advantages: (I) protects microorganisms from the action of adverse agents, (II) increases the availability of nutrients for their growth, (III) facilitates the use of water, reducing the possibility of dehydration and (IV) enables the transfer of genetic material (DNA). All of these circumstances can increase your survival capabilities. As a consequence, <u>the usual methods of disinfection or the use of antibiotics are often ineffective against biofilm bacteria</u>.
In addition to the risk of contamination, the development of biofilms can interfere with different processes and cause damage to the equipment. In drinking water systems the formation of biofilms can obstruct the pipes reducing their speed and transport capacity causing an increase in energy consumption. The formation of biofilm in heat exchangers and cooling towers can reduce heat transfer and as a consequence its efficiency in the process. The formation of persistent biofilms on metal surfaces can cause corrosion due to acid production by bacteria.

I do not see the electron configuration flow diagram, but the full electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s^22s^22p^3
