Methylene blue reductase why were you told to cap the tubes tightly?

The methylene blue reduction test is a test commonly used to estimate the microbial load of a milk sample and as a result, examine the quality of the milk.

The principle of this test is that methylene blue is a dye which loses its colour in the absence of oxygen. Bacterial metabolism can cause the depletion of oxygen in the milk, therefore the methylene's reduction rate is connected to the presence of microorganisms in the milk.

As a consequence, if the tubes were not sealed tightly, then oxygen will enter the tube and the dye's colour will diminish, giving a false result concerning the presence of microorganisms in the sample.

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Photosynthesis could be said to be a manufacturing process usually associated with green plants. It involves different processes and elements necessary for the transformation of light energy usually derived from sunlight. The green pigment of plants called the chlorophyll offers them the ability to absorb Radiant energy from the sun which is then converted into chemical energy forming energy-rich compounds including water, minerals and carbon dioxide. Photosynthetic activity is usually represented by a general formula; which goes thus;

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Alcohol can pass directly into the bloodstream from the mouth or stomach.<br> a.true<br> b.false
Dima020 [189]

Alcohol can pass directly into the bloodstream from the mouth or stomach is a true statement.

On consumption of alcohol it travels from mouth to stomach, then into the circulatory system, kidney, liver, lungs and brain. Alcohol being a small molecule does not need any digestion in stomach and passes to the bloodstream directly in an empty stomach. When food is present in stomach, the absorption rate is reduced but is not stopped.

Once the alcohol is in the bloodstream, it gets evenly distributed throughout the body.

Term referring to the process in which certain compounds increase in concentration within biotic tissues as they move up through
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a. Biomagnification

Explanation:

Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.

For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.

The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.
