Answer:

LD50 (median lethal dose)

Explanation:

  • Whenever one needs to quantify the virulence of a pathogen then this is done by using a set of laboratory animals.
  • LD50 (median lethal dose) is an important indicator of virulence. 
  • LD50 is defined as the number of pathogens that are required to kill 50% of the total infected animals.
  • For the calculation of LD50, the animals are infected with a known number of pathogens and then a graph is plotted for the percentage of animals killed against the concentration of the pathogen used for infection.<em> The point at which the graph indicates the death of 50% animals, the corresponding concentration of inoculation of a pathogen is taken as the LD50 of that particular pathogen. </em>

Does anyone know what type of big this is or worm or slug or something
Annette [7]

Hello Friend, I don't think so that it is a worm or a slug. This more looks like a larvae of an insect. I am pretty sure that is is Black Soldier Fly Larvae.

If you search up "Black Soldier Fly Larvae" you would see lots of information about them. Or you can just search up "Black larvae" and see which image matches to yours the best.

Hope this Helps!!!

Is wavelength directionally OR inversely proportional to frequency?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The wavelength of any wave with a constant speed is inversely proportional to its frequency, because as something vibrates more frequently, there is less time between one vibration and the next. Each complete vibration is one wavelength, so if there is less time, it can only go a shorter distance.
