A student placed a disk of filter paper in each of the following solutions: disinfectant 1, disinfectant 2, disinfectant 3, and

distilled water. While the four disks were soaking in their respective solutions, she streaked a sterile nutrient agar dish with a culture of E. coli bacteria. Then, she placed each disk carefully onto the nutrient agar dish, placed the lid on the dish, taped it shut, and incubated the dish at 37°C for several days. The diagram shows how the nutrient agar dish looked on Day 1 and Day 4. The shaded portion of the plate on day 4 indicates the bacterial growth. Look at the dishes in the diagram. Which disinfectant was the most effective at controlling the growth of E. coli?

<span>The disinfectant that was the most effective at controlling the growth of E. coli is disinfectant 2 because of the least number of Ecoli strains found on the dish compared to the other disinfectants. Also dish 4 that cointains water has the most number of Ecoli strains because water is not a disinfectant and Acoi do not die in water alone.</span>

Which factor plays a central role in determining which of the brain's synapses will be eliminated and which will be maintained?
likoan [24]

Answer:

The answer is "frequency with which they are activated".

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of consecutive repetitive events per unit time. It is measured in hertz (Hz), equivalent to a single event per second. The time is the number of one cycle in a recurrent event, and so the duration is the same for the frequency, hence the frequency at which they are triggered is a key determinant of the brain's connections to be eliminated and maintained.

Answer:

Flu vaccinations are fundamental as they reduce the risk of flu illness by over 50%.

Explanation:

Flu vaccinations reduce the risk of flu illness by over 50%. This makes this process extremely important and fundamental for all human beings as they not only protect the person who gets the vaccine, but it also contributes to the prevention of spreading to other people, especially children and older adults who possess a greater risk of developing flu complications.

The antibodies that are produced by the vaccine prevent the flu virus from attaching to a healthy cell. However, if a person has not been vaccinated, the virus will attack the healthy cells because there is an absence of antibodies that prevent this process.
