Answer:
Bacteria that are helpful in one place may be harmful in another.
What information in the text supports this statement?
A Heliobacter pylori is a bacterium that causes gastritis (irritation or
inflammation of the stomach lining) and peptic ulcers, diseases which were once
thought to be caused by too much acid.
B Streptococcus salivarius appears to help prevent tooth decay in the mouth
but can be dangerous to people with weakened immune systems if it gets
outside the mouth.
Bacillus subtilis releases toxic chemicals to kill fungus, possibly including
Trichophyton interdigitale and other species that cause athlete's foot.
D Skin, which is our interface with the world, supports a large number of the
human body's most diverse populations of bacteria, including Bacillus subtilis.
Explanation:
Answer:
D (proteins moving ions from low to high concentration across a cell membrane)
Explanation:
Active transport, by definition, is a type of substance transport that requires energy (typically in the form of ATP). Having said that, we can immediately eliminate B (aka water diffusion throughout the cytoplasm of a cell), as diffusion (osmosis in this case) does not require any expenditure/spending of energy. Next, we can cancel A and C because although they do require energy, there is no transport involved. Thus that leaves us with D. D is not only the answer because of the process of elimination but also b/c the ans. choice says that ions are being moved from low to high concentration, which is against the concentration gradient and thus requires energy. Hope you found this helpful! :)
During the transfer of energy from one tropic level to the next tropic level around 90% of the total energy is lost in the metabolic processes in the form of heat. Hence only about 10% of the total energy can only be transferred from one tropic level to the next tropic level.
The answer is a. Nitrogen
