I believe that if kinetic energy were to decrease, then the speed would decrease because the more kinetic energy an object has, the more speed an object has.
C is incorrect
Both acids and bases produce ions in solution, are electrolytes, and conduct electricity in solution. Although red litmus is an indicator, it does not change color in an acid, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. Soaps often contain bases, not acids.
D) conduct electricity in water. is the correct answer
The answer is they produce endospores.
Explanation:
The endospores are dormant, non-reproductive, tough bacterial spores that ensure the survival of bacteria in adverse conditions.
During the environmental stress, such as starvation, desiccation, radiation and chemical treatment many bacteria form dormant endospores. These endospores germinate again when the conditions become favorable.
Hence, if drought conditions lead the stream to dry up, the bacteria that live there would produce endospores to survive.
The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
