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>

Why is the aplysia such a popular animal for single-cell studies of learning?
Feliz [49]

<span>Aplysia is a marine gastropod mollusc which is an often used model organism in neuroscience, especially on the cellular biology of learning and memory. What makes them easy to work with are their giant neurons, which are one of the largest. Aplysia neurons are suitable for studies of how neurons and neural circuits control behaviours. Its defensive reflex has been studied because it is mediated by electrical synapses, which allow several neurons to fire synchronously.</span>
