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>

Label the main steps in the cellular respiration model?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step 1: Glycolysis. In glycolysis, glucose—a six-carbon sugar—undergoes a series of chemical transformations. In the end, it gets converted into two molecules of pyruvate, a three-carbon organic molecule. In these reactions, ATP is made, and \text{NAD}^+NAD  +  N, A, D, superscript is converted to {NADH}NADHN, A, D, H.

Step 2:Pyruvate oxidation. Each pyruvate from glycolysis goes into the mitochondrial matrix—the innermost compartment of mitochondria. There, it’s converted into a two-carbon molecule bound to Co-enzyme A, known as acetyl CoA. Carbon dioxide is released and NADH is generated.

Step 3:Citric acid cycle. The acetyl CoA made in the last step combines with a four carbon molecule and goes through a cycle or reaction, ultimately regenerating the four carbon starting molecule.
