Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium in the same family as those that cause cholera. It normally lives in warm seawater and is part of a group of vibrios that are called "halophilic" because they require salt. Top of Page What type of illness does V. vulnificus cause? V. vulnificus can cause disease in those who eat contaminated seafood or have an open wound that is exposed to seawater. Among healthy people‚ ingestion of V. vulnificus can cause vomiting‚ diarrhea‚ and abdominal pain. In immunocompromised

Chapter 9 Review Questions Explain why the Sun’s influence on Earth’s tides is only 46% that of the Moon’s‚ even though the Sun is so much more massive than the Moon. although the sun is much larger than the moon and has much more gravitational power‚ the distance between the earth and the moon is extremely further than the distance between the earth and moon. so much that it greatly dampens the effect of the suns gravity. Why is a lunar day 24 hours and 50 minutes long‚ while a solar

Does wind speed affect the opening of stomata? I am exploring the effect of wind speeds in light and dark environments on transpiration. If the wind speed is high enough during the night time will this cause the opening of stomata and transpiration‚ even though it is against the plants bioloical clock to do so? I’ve got 3 different wind speeds on the fan and I’m keeping the temperature constant in both light/dark environments. Wind speed does not normally cause stomata to open. Indeed‚ high

distributions of 19 species of polychaetes burrowing in the intertidal sand and mudbanks of the Heathcote Estuary‚ New Zealand‚ are related to salinity‚ sediment grade‚ and length of time of exposure at low tide. Only Nicon aestuariensis Knox and Scotecolepides benhami Ehlers appear to be truly estuarine species reaching their greatest population densities in low salinities. Incidental observations of feeding and reproduction are reported. INTRODUCTION There have been very few studies of the biology of estuarine

Sodium chloride‚ also known as salt‚ common salt‚ table salt‚ or halite‚ is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt‚ it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. [edit] Properties Thermal conductivity of pure NaCl as a function of temperature has a maximum of 2.03 W/(cm K) at 8 K and decreases to 0.069 at 314
