1 answer:

3 0

In addition to loss of muscle mass, inadequate calorie intake can lead to loss of bone density and an increased risk of fatigue, illness, injuries and poor recovery.

<h3>Why is it important to consume adequate calories?</h3>

When your consumption of calories is not adequate, your body will not get all the necessary nutrients.
It slows down the metabolism so as to conserve energy
Calorie restriction can lead to reduce in leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite.
Lower levels of leptin can lead to increase in hunger thus a person overeats. This results in increase in body weight.
Low-calorie dieting increases stress and results in the release of the stress hormone (cortisol).
Due to response to stress, the body conserves energy and the metabolism slows to combat the risk of starvation.
Therefore, it is important to consume appropriate amount of calories and nutrients.

A microbiologist inoculates Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli into a culture medium. Following incubation, only E.

Burka [1]

Answer:

The culture medium must be selective

Explanation:

Selective media are the media that have those ingredients which favor the growth of a particular bacterium and inhibit the growth of unwanted bacteria. So a selective media is used to selectively grow a particular micro-organism.

For example, MacConkey agar is a selective media that is used to isolate gram-negative enteric bacteria based on lactose fermenting ability. It contains ingredients like bile salt and crystal violet which inhibits the growth of gram-positive bacteria therefore it only allows the growth of gram-negative bacteria.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a gram-positive bacteria and E.coli is gram-negative enteric bacteria so MacConkey agar can be used to select E.coli over Staphylococcus epidermidis. So the correct answer is the culture media must be selective.
