To accomplish the dilution the microbiologist should dilute 1 mL of the bacterial culture in 100 mL of the total volume. Thus, option C is correct.

<h3>What is dilution?</h3>

Dilution is a process of decreasing the solute concentration by the addition of the solvent in the solution. The volume for the dilution is calculated as:

Given,

C1 = 100,000 cell per mL

C2 = 1000 cell per mL

V1 = 1 mL

C1 V1 = C2 V2

100,000 × (1 ÷ 1000)

= 100 mL

Therefore, 100 mL should be used to dilute 1 mL.

What causes the patterns of convection cycles in the lithosphere?<br> DETAIL ( 2 SENTENCES )
Dahasolnce [82]
Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. In fact, oceanic lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer for the convection[9] in the mantle. The thickness of the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere can be approximated as a thermal boundary layer that thickens as the square root of time.
