A researcher took water in which a Jl population had been thriving, filtered the water to remove all bacterial cells, and then applied the water to the skins of adult amphibians to see if there would subsequently be a reduced infection rate by Bd when frog skins were inoculated with Bd. For which of the following hypotheses is the procedure described a potential test?a) the hypothesis that a toxin secreted by Jl cells kills Bd cells when both are present together on frog skin. b) the hypothesis that Jl cells infect and kill Bd cells when both are present together on frog skin. c) the hypothesis that Jl outcompetes Bd when both are present together on a frog's skin. d) the hypothesis that the presence of Jl on frog skin causes a skin reaction that prevents attachment by Bd cells.

estuaries are the partially enclosed coastal bodies of brackish water formed at the mouth of sea where river meets an ocean. it is a transition zone between river and sea water so estuaries are influenced to both marine environment such as tides, waves and to riverine such as flow of fresh water and sediments. the mixing of sea and fresh water provide high level of nutrients, making estuaries a high product habitats.

many estuaries suffers degradation from a variety of human activities like erosion from deforestation, overgrazing, overfishing, drainage and eutrophication.

so from the above statement answers will be

1. false as estuaries are formed due to both brackish and freshwater.

2.true, due to high productivity estuaries are breeding ground for many marine species.

3. direct and indirect activities of man that contribute to pollution and deposition of sediments.

the apgar score is 6

here are the 5 factors that are observed when calculating the apgar index:

skin color

blue everywhere - 0 points

white on the ends and pink on the body - 1 point

all pink - 2 points

heartbeat

absent - 0 points

slow - 1 point

fast - 2 points

reflexes

no answer: 0 points

responds to stimulations: 1 point

cries and coughs: 2 points

muscle tone

soft: 0 point

some bending or stretching: 1 point

active movements: 2 points

breathing

absent: 0 points

weak or irregular: 1 point

good and your baby is crying: 2 points

it is estimated that children whose score is between 8 and 10 are in perfect health and need only routine care. a score between 5 and 7 is representative of a fair condition. often this means that the child has suffered during delivery and probably needs with breathing. as a first step, your doctor will carefully rub the skin of your baby or give him oxygen with a mask.
