In nature there are two categories of microorganisms as relating to health. Microorganisms that are considered harmful to humans are called pathogens and these cause disease. Examples include bacteria such as streptococcus which cause sore throat and salmonella which cause typhoid disease.

There are some microorganisms which are helpful to man and they live mostly on the skin of man or in his gut and are mostly bacteria. They are collectively called bacterial normal flora.

In man the normal bacterial flora of the skin include staphylococcus found on dry skin, cornybacteria found in moist skin sites and propionibacteria in the sebaceous sites (head, neck, trunk) of the body. Normal bacterial flora of the gut include Escherichia coli.

One of the major function of bacterial flora is actually to protect our bodies by competing for space with pathogens preventing them from gaining a foothold in our bodies.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?
