The carbon cycle is the movement of carbon from cellular respiration and human interference to the atmosphere. Human interference adds an excessive amount of carbon to the atmosphere, resulting in an imbalance. This imbalance means there is less oxygen available to organisms who need it, such as humans and animals. Burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are some contributors into the imbalance of carbon and oxygen in the atmosphere. Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The independent variable would be the coffee.
Explanation:
In an experiment, the independent variable is something that is added or changed by the scientist in order to see if there will be a response.
In this case, the memory test score would be the dependent variable (something that changes as a result of a change in the independent variable).
Decaf coffee could be a control group, or a group that is treated the same as the independent variable but without being exposed in order to account for any outside factors.
Finally, the type of cup used would be a constant between the control group (using the decaf coffee) and the experimental group (the group with regular coffee).
Hope this helps!
Answer: 43 x 10^6 CFU.
Explanation:
Plate count is a method used to determine the number of viable microorganisms in a sample. When the bacterial concentration is high, serial dilutions are carried out in a 1:10 sequence. <u>Then, the dilutions are successive dilutions keeping the dilution factor constant at each step</u>. Small aliquots of these dilutions are seeded in medium contained in a Petri dish where the bacteria grow forming colonies. Then the plates are incubated and colonies develop both within the agar and on the surface.
If the concentration of the seeded aliquot is too high, the bacteria will grow too much and it will not be possible to distinguish the colonies. <u>However, if the concentration is very low, the number of colony forming units (CFU) may be very low and thus can be counted</u>.
Colony forming units are calculated:
CFU = Number of colonies / (volume seeded on the plate * dilution).
The dilution is 10^-6, the number of colonies counted is 43, and usually the volume plated is 0.1 mL, so we replace that in the equation:
CFU= 43 / (0.1 mL * 10^-6)
CFU= 43000000 = 43 x 10^6
A) it is possible if they both have the recessive O type
