Answer:
A serial dilution and the following plating experiment is done in order to determine the actual amount of bacteria/microbes in a specific volume of soil sample. As a standard test, a set volume of the lower dilution is obtained and positioned on a median plate and permitted to increase for the needed amount of time. The amount of colonies is evaluated and thus the overall Colony Forming Units (CFU) is determined by unit volume of the sample plated and therefore the volume of soil sample employed.
Therefore,
The calculation is done using:
CFU/ml = Number of colonies appeared × dilution factor / volume plated
Given,
Number of colonies appeared = 97
dilution factor = 10^(-6)
volume plated = 1/10 = 0.1
This will help us calculate it as:
CFU/ml = 97 * 10^(-6) / 0.1
= 97 * 10^(-7) CFU/ml
This CFU/ml helps determine the amount of bacterial colonies per unit volume of sample plated.
Given,
The original sample as 1g or 1000 mg of soil in its total volume.
Therefore,
The number of bacteria can be calculated using:
Amount of bacteria in original sample
= 97 * 10^(-7) CFU/ml × 1/ 1000 mg
= 9.7 * 10^(-3) CFU/mg
Answer:
1. Global warming is the change in the climate of the earth causing it to heat up whereas the greenhouse effect is a naturally occurring phenomena, constantly occurring due to the atmosphere and sunlight.
2. Carbon dioxide absorbs heat radiating from the Earth's surface and re-release it in all directions—including back toward Earth's surface.
3. Decomposition, ocean release and respiration.
The given statements can be matched as following:
a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration - Osmosis
b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions
- Enzymes
c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream
-Simple Diffusion
d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions
-Enzymes
e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process-
Simple Diffusion
Explanation:
a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.
b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.
c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.
d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.
e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.
Answer:
Both plant and animal cells have a nucleus and chloroplast where protein synthesis takes place.
In geology, a graded bed is one characterized by a systematic change in grain or clast size from one side of the bed to the other. Most commonly this takes the form of normal grading, with coarser sediments at the base, which grade upward into progressively finer onesI just learned about this in our rocks and minerals unit for science,
