In liquid media or broth difference between dry and wet will give biomass of the Epulopiscium.
Explanation:
Biomass of bacteria can be measured by dry or wet mass. Bacteria numbers can be counted by spread plate method under the microscope.
In solid media the colonies obtained are diluted and number of cells will be seen by plate count method or on automated cell counter. The number would help calculate biomass
The biomass will be calculated by measuring wet and dry mass. Equipments required will be:
hydraulic gravity convection oven and centrifugation set up.
A cellulose acetate filter membrane is used which is 47 mm in diameter and 0.45 micron of pore size.
The cells grown settles down due to gravity. They are stirred to evenly spread in the broth and is kept in centrifuge.
The cells obtained after centrifugation will be taken and wet weight is obtained.
To obtain dry weight the cells are placed in oven for 6 hours to 24 hours. The resultant cells are weighed and dry weight obtained.
Biomass will be calculated by subtracting the wet mass to dry mass. This way biomass is obtained in epulopisicuium. Here the cells will be of different size so on centrifugation 2 or more phases of cells can be seen due to gravity change.
Answer:
Option B, Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.
Explanation:
Options for the question are
A) Apply auxin directly to the shoot tip on the side to which you want the tip to bend.
B) Apply auxin directly to the lower part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.
C) Inject compounds that block auxin receptors into the part of the stem opposite from the direction you want the stem to bend.
D) Plant the roots in two different pots, and apply auxin to the root bucket that is on the same side as the direction you want the plant to bend.
Solution
Auxin is responsible for stem elongation by inhibiting growth of lateral buds. The movement of auxin is opposite to the direction of elongation of cells. Generally, Auxin moves to the dark side which is opposite to the direction i.e the lighter side in which cell elongate . Due to this growth pattern, the stem tip gets curved towards the light.
Hence, option B is correct
Answer:
50
Explanation:
A punnet square can be described as a diagram which illustrates all the possible outcomes of a cross. It is used to tell about the percentage chances for the kinds of genes being transferred to offsprings.
In order to check the percentage of red flowers we can draw a punnet square. As red flower is a recessive trait and pink flower a heterozygous trait,the punnet square shows that a cross between them will give 50 percent red flowers and 50 percent pink flowers.
