Why is it important not to leave fingerprints or scratch the sample cells in spectrophotometric measurements? Select one: Scratc

hes or fingerprints are not likely to have an effect on spectrophotometric measurements. Scratches and fingerprints on the surface of the cell can decrease the amount of light that reaches the detector. Scratches and fingerprints make it difficult for the cell to be positioned properly in the spectrophotometer. Scratches and fingerprints on the surface of the cell can contaminate the sample.

Answer:

Scratches and fingerprints on the surface of the cell can decrease the amount of light that reaches the detector.  If this happens your results will not be accurate.

Explanation:

This instrument depends on a careful usage to measure accurately the concentration in an specific solution. The wavelength can be inaccurate if some procedures were not done during the preparation process.  

When cleaning the cuvette or manipulating it, always use a lint free cloth and make sure that you removed any drops of water that might have fallen into the cuvette.

A mutation that causes production of a defective pilus in a bacterium will prevent __________.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Attachment.

Explanation:

  • Pilus are thread like structures which are present on the surface of the bacterial cell.
  • They are mainly responsible for attaching the bacterial cells to a substrate, for obtaining food or to an eukaryotic cell for the purpose of infection.
  • Pilus also mediate the process of conjugation in some bacterial cells.
  • Conjugation is a process by which genetic material or plasmids are transferred from one bacteria to another through a channel formed in between the two bacteria by the help of the pilus.
  • Pilus also helps the bacteria by preventing them from getting recognised by the immune cells in the host.
  • A defective pilus will affect all the above processes, resulting in death of the bacteria.
