Answer:
Parasites

Explanation:
Parasites are a type of pathogen that survive by hitchhiking a host. They usually do this as they perceive the host as type of protection for them in order to survive.

Beside this protection, the host provides these parasites with the necessary nutrition as they feed directly from the host.
They can feed on different parts from the hosts including:
1- the digestion as in case of tapeworm
2- brain tissue as in case of brain-eating ameoba
3- blood

Parasites' presence in the host's body can alter the functionalities and processes within the body and cause sickness.

Hope this helps :)

I would say that the bacteria who live inside one's gut would constitute very small organisms that are extremely small and inhabit the gut as home and also feed off it to survive and in this case probably have a symbiotic relationship with our bodies as they help us to break down and digest food.

Based on the tiles shown, how many moles of oxygen gas (o2) are needed to produce 36.04 grams of water (h2o) when reacting with

madreJ [45]

We calculate for the number of moles of water given its mass by dividing the given mass by the molar mass.
n water = (36.04 g) / (18 g/mol)
n water = 2 mols
From the given balanced equation, every 6 moles of water produced will require 7 moles of oxygen.
n oxygen = (2 mols H2O) x (7 moles O2 / 6 moles H2O)
n oxygen = 2.33 mols O2

Determine the molar solubility of CuCl in a solution containing 0.050 KCl. Ksp of CuCl is 1.0 x 10-6

Volgvan

Answer:

$2.0x10^{-5}\frac{mol}{L}$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the dissolution of copper (I) chloride is:

$CuCl(s)\rightarrow Cu^++Cl^-$

And its equilibrium expression is:

$Ksp=[Cu^+][Cl^-]$

We can represent the molar solubility via the reaction extent as $x$ , however, since there is 0.050 M KCl we immediately add such amount to the chloride ion concentration since KCl is readily ionized; therefore we write:
