Answer: Sterilization.
Explanation:
Sterilization is the process that kills, or deactivates all forms of life so then a product is considered free of viable microorganisms. This process must be designed, validated and carried out to ensure that it is capable of eliminating the microbial load of the product.
Since sterility cannot be demonstrated without causing the complete destruction of the products, <u>sterility is considered when the probability of a product being contaminated is acceptably remote.</u> A critical product is considered sterile when the probability of a microorganism being present in an active or latent form is equal to or less than 1 in 1,000,000 (sterility safety factor 10^-6).
Agents that kill microorganisms are called microbicides or more commonly called "germicides". If the agent kills bacteria, it is called a bactericide. And if it kills fungi, then it is called a fungicide. It is important to consider than <u>after an exposure of the sterilized object to the air or its surroundings, it will have become contaminated again with microorganisms.</u>
Examples of sterilization include physical methods and chemical methods. Physical methods include:
- Wet heat (in steam autoclave)
- Dry heat (in sterilization oven)
- Radiation (gamma radiatio, electron beam, X-ray, ultraviolet, microwave, white light)
Chemical methods include a variety of chemicals in liquid and vapor form, for example:
- Hydrogen peroxide
- Chlorine dioxide
- Ozone gases
- Ethylene oxide
- Propylene oxide
- Peracetic acid
Answer:
There is a great difference between light and scanning electron microscope. The source of illumination is light rays in light microscope while in scanning electron microscope electrons are the source of illumination.
The resolving and magnification power of scanning electron microscope is much greater than that of a light microscope. The magnifying power of a light microscope is 1000X and of electron microscope is 10,00,000X.
In light microscope image is seen through the eyepiece while in scanning electron microscope it is seen on a fluorescent screen. Even small specimens up to 0.1 micrometers can be seen by scanning electron microscope which is not possible to see by light microscope.
Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
Natural populations have variations. Organisms of a population have various genetic traits. Some of these genetic variations make the organisms better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. These organisms are more likely to produce more progeny. Over generations, the frequency of the beneficial genetic traits increases in the population due to the higher reproductive success of the organisms with these genetic traits.
This process of differential fitness of organisms of a population where the organisms with adaptive genetic traits have survival and reproductive benefits is called natural selection.
Answer:
hydrosphere and biosphere
Explanation:
The spheres of the Earth are lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere etc. Hydrosphere refers to the collection of all the water bodies on the surface of the Earth e.g oceans, lakes, rivers etc. On the other hand, biosphere refers to the collection of life on Earth e.g plants, animals, microbes etc.
In this question, Water availability is said to impact plant growth and the animals who depend on plants for food. These water availability and the living organisms (plants and animals) it impacts are interactions between the HYDROSPHERE AND BIOSPHERE.
Answer:
3. the absence of a cell wall in human cells
Explanation:
Animal cells do not have cell walls. Cell membranes separate the cytoplasm of the animal cells from the surroundings and maintain their interior. Plant cells have cellulosic cell walls. A cell wall surrounds the cell membrane of a plant cell. Cell walls serve to provide structural support and protect plant cells from pathogens. Cell walls also help keep excess water out of cells so they do not burst. Therefore, human cheek cells would not have cell walls while the onion cells would have cell walls made up of cellulose.
