You may not know this, but you are home to a colony of bacteria. You may also not know it, but the health and happiness of that colony of bacteria have a direct effect on your own health and happiness. In short, if we are what we eat, then we may need to make bacteria part of our balanced breakfast.

Microbes are single-celled organisms. They are literally everywhere. Microbes are in the air we breathe, on the surfaces of everything we touch, and inside our bodies. Microbes can be bacteria, fungi, protozoa, or viruses.

A few years ago, scientists began studying the microbial life of our stomachs. Called The American Gut project, this study aims to understand the life of the bacteria that live in our digestive system. According to an article in the New York Times by Michael Pollan, the goal is to gather information on the types and amounts of bacteria in the human gut. Scientists want to describe what a normal healthy microbe and human relationship should look like inside our digestive system. While the research is still in the very early stages, scientists have learned the following:

The strongest and healthiest microbe systems are those with a lot of variety.
The guts of Americans have much less variety than the guts of other populations.
Diets that include a lot of processed foods support less variation in bacteria.
Studying the makeup of our individual bacteria communities will help scientists get a better idea of which bacteria help human bodies. We used to think that bacteria in our bodies were invaders. This new research suggests that bacteria are part of the protective army that keeps us healthy. In fact, our bodies have a hard time recovering from medicines like antibiotics because they disrupt the balance of helpful bacteria. It seems clear from the early evidence that living with bacteria helps us resist invasion from things that make us sick.

Scientists have also learned that microbes might help our guts do things like process vitamins and important nutrients. Some microbes may help us deal with stress, or adapt to changes. Furthermore, there may come a time—in your lifetime—when illness is treated not with antibiotics, but with extra-special microbes that help us defend our bodies from illness.









Based on "A Brief Study of Guts," which best summarizes the goal of new research into bacteria and microbes?
A. To collect a wide variety of microbes in all mammals including humans
B. To find ways to increase our intake of helpful microbes
C. To find evidence to decrease the use of antibacterial soap
D. To understand how microbes populate the human body and what benefit they provide

Answer:

Los números decimales son una combinación de números enteros y números que se encuentran entre los números enteros. A veces es importante poder comparar decimales para saber cuál es mayor. Por ejemplo, si alguien corrió los 100 metros planos en 10.57 segundos, y alguien más los corrió en 10.67 segundos, puedes comparar los decimales para determinar qué tiempo es más rápido. Saber cómo comparar decimales requiere el entendimiento del valor de posición decimal, y es similar a comprar números enteros.

Cuando trabajamos con decimales, hay veces que no se necesita un número preciso. En tal caso, es útil redondear números decimales. Por ejemplo, si la bomba de una gasolinera muestra que llenaste el tanque del carro de un amigo con 16.478 galones de gasolina, podrías querer redondear el número y decirle a tu amigo que le pusiste 16.5 galones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Otra forma de comparar decimales es comparar los dígitos en cada número, empezando con el lugar de posición mayor, que es el de la izquierda. Cuando un dígito en un número decimal es mayor que el dígito correspondiente en el otro número, entonces ése número decimal es mayor.

Por ejemplo, primero compara los dígitos de las décimas. Si son iguales, continúa con el lugar de las centésimas. Si esos dígitos no son iguales, el decimal con el dígito mayor es el número decimal mayor. Observa cómo se hace esto en los ejemplos siguientes.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, multiply -7 by 0.

-7×0=0

Now, do the adding and subtracting.

1+0=1

1+9=10

10+5=15

15+5=20

20+3=23

23+9=32

32+3=35

35+112=147

147-123=24

24+7=31

31+0=31

  a ≈ 4.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of cosines tells you ...

  a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)

  a = √(b² +c² -2bc·cos(A))

  a = √(5² +8² -2·5·8·cos(33°)) = √(25 +64 -80·0.83867) ≈ √21.906

  a ≈ 4.68

Answer:

[tex]y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept(value of y when x = 0).

If two lines are perpendicular, the multiplication of their slopes is -1.

Contains (0, 2)

This means that [tex]b = 2[/tex]. So

[tex]y = mx + 2[/tex]

Finding the slope:

Perpendicular to y = 2/3x + 1 means that:

[tex]\frac{2m}{3} = -1[/tex]

[tex]2m = -3[/tex]

[tex]m = -\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -\frac{3}{2}x + 2[/tex]

Answer:

a) 77    b)B

Step-by-step explanation:

letterF is the same as 77 meaning that X will be the same as letterF cause the are vertically opposite angles.

I just did the question on math watch.

The measure of the angle ∠BFH that is 'x' will be 77 degrees. Then the correct option is B.

The inclination is the separation seen between planes or vectors that meet. Degrees are another way to indicate the slope. For a full rotation, the angle is 360 °.

Alternate angle - If two lines are parallel then the third line will make z -an angle and z-angles equal angles with the parallel lines.

Line AD is parallel to line EH. And the line CG is the transversal line to line AD and EH.

The angle ∠FAB is congruent with the angle ∠BFH. Because they are alternate angles. Then we have

∠BFH = ∠FAB

x = 77°

The measure of the angle ∠BFH that is 'x' will be 77 degrees. Then the correct option is B.

Given:

Initial profit = $100,000

Increasing rate of profit = 1.2%

To find:

The function that shows the company's profit as a function of time in years.

Solution:

The exponential growth model is defined as:

[tex]f(t)=a(1+r)^t[/tex]

Where, a is the initial value, b is the growth rate and t is the time period.

Putting a=100,000 and r=0.012, we get

[tex]f(t)=100,000(1+0.012)^t[/tex]

Where, t is the number of years.

Therefore, the correct option is c.

Answer:

60 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is 5 tall, so just add 5 for each square on the top view.

The volume of the rectangular prism is 60 cubic units

What is the Volume of a Rectangle?

The volume of the rectangle is given by the product of the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle and the height of the rectangle

Volume of Rectangle = Length x Width x Height

Volume of Rectangle = Area of Rectangle x Height

Given data ,

Let the volume of the rectangular prism be represented as V

Now , the equation will be

The length of the rectangular prism = 3 units

The width of the rectangular prism = 4 units

The height of the rectangular prism = 5 units

Now , the volume is calculated by

Volume of Rectangle = Length x Width x Height

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

Volume of Rectangle V = 3 x 4 x 5

On simplifying the equation , we get

Volume of Rectangle V = 60 cubic units

Therefore , the value of V is 60 cubic units

Hence , the volume of the rectangular prism is 60 cubic units

Explanation:

We can rewrite y = -3 as y = 0x-3 or y = 0x+(-3)

Compare that to y = mx+b and we can see that m = 0 is the slope and b = -3 is the y intercept. The slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

We can think of it is as slope = rise/run = 0/1 = 0. A rise of 0 tells the reader "the graph does not go up or down at all". Every point on the line y = -3 has y coordinate of -3. Two such points are (0,-3) and (1,-3).

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

log(2x + 6) +8 = 3

Solve this log equation for x

First subtract 8 from both sides

log(2x+6)= -5

Now we convert it into exponential form

If log(x) = a then 10^a = x

log(2x+6)= -5 becomes

subtract 6 from both sides

Now we divide by 2 on both sides

x= -3 approximately

$6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve any percent problem, u can use the equation part         %

                                                                                           -------   =   ---

                                                                                         whole       100

(the lines are fraction bars btw, when u right out the problem, write it as fractions)

In this problem, the whole is 45, because that is the original, or whole price. The % is 15, because u want to find 15%. The part would be x, because that's what u want to find. Cross multiply, so ur problem should look like this:

100x = 675.

Then, divide 675 by 100 to get x = 6.75.

So Natalie saves $6.75.
