A scientist is studying a form of marine bacteria growing in culture dishes. He noticed that a clear area formed around the mold

where the bacteria that had grown in this area died (this is now referred to as a zone of inhibition). In the culture dishes that had no mold, no zones of inhibition were present. Formulate a valid hypothesis based on his observations.
A.) The temperature in the lab was too cold for the mold to grow.
B.) The mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria.
C.) The bacteria must be producing a chemical that killed the mold.
D.) The temperature in the lab was too cold for the bacteria to grow.

The answer would be C
The mold is most likely an antibiotic which produces substances harmful to the strain of bacteria and therefore any bacteria in its zone of inhibition will die as a result

Correct answer: B.) The mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria.

Antibiotics is an antimicrobial substance that is used against bacterial infection. They work to inhibit the growth of bacteria either by slowing the growth of bacteria or by killing them. They are not used against viral infections like common cold or flu.

Penicillin was first antibiotics that were discovered by Alexander Fleming while working in the lab with the mold <em>Penicillium notatum</em>

Answer:

En la fotofosforilación acíclica, cuando los pigmentos (clorofila) y las moléculas de agua son alcanzados por fotones (partículas de luz), existe liberación de electrones.Se llama cíclica porque los electrones son re-utilizados por la clorofila. Es una forma alternativa de producción de ATP.

Which of the following is an example of the skeletal system interacting directly with the
Nadusha1986 [10]

A.

<u>The ribcage expands to allow air to enter the lungs</u> is an example of the skeletal system interacting directly with the respiratory system.

Explanation:

The skeletal system is mainly made up of bones - like the ribcage in this case - while the respiratory system is made up of the lungs, trachea, diaphragm, etc.  

When inhaling, the diaphragm contracts, therefore increasing the volume of the chest cavity. The muscles between the ribs also contract causing the ribcage to stretch upwards and outwards. This also contributes to an increase in the volume of chest cavity. Consequently, the pressure in the chest, decreases causing atmospheric pressure to rush  air into the lungs.

When these muscles contract, they raise the pressure in the chest cavity causing air to rush out of the lungs.
