Answer: C) Not all scientific knowledge begins with an experiment

Explanation:

Fleming's lab was very messy, and one day when he is back from his vacations, he noticed that a colony of a fungus had grown as a contaminant on one of the Petri dishes sown with a bacteria called <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em>. Fleming observed a bacterial lysis, which means the death of the bacteria.

<u>The dishes got contaminated by Penicillium</u>, which is a mold that produces a an antibacterial substance, called penicillin. <u>This is an antibiotic that attacks a wide range of bacteria.</u>

At first, his findings were underestimated and he was not able to isolate this penicillin. But in 1940, Howard Florey and Ernst Chain found out that <u>this antibiotic could be used as a therapeutic agent to fight bacteria.</u>

So, in this case the discovery of penicillin was accidental, without planning a specific experiment.

Use the following terms to describe in detail how you visually perceive an object that you can see right now.

Answer: To see for example an apple first light that passes through the pupil is eventually reflected on the pupil, activating neurons in the retina. light waves that were reflected off the apple are changed into neural impulses (transduction) at the point of the retina, where neurons fire in response to light waves. Action potentials are released when neurons fire, sending an electrical charge through the neuron. Excitatory neurotransmitters are released when the action potential reaches the axon terminal, and that these neurotransmitters increase the chances that the next neuron will fire. Of course the neural message from the retina first passes through the thalamus, and then the thalamus routes the impulse elsewhere in the brain.

I hope it helps, Regards.
