You dilute your bacteriophage for plating 10^-6. You mix 0.1ml of the bacteriophage dilution with 0.3ml of bacteria and plate wi

th top agar. The next day you count your plaques. You get 46 pfu at this dilution. What is the final concentration (pfu/ml) of the phage stock?

Answer:

46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

Explanation:

Given -

Bacteriophage dilution = 0.1 ml

Volume of bacteria and plate with top agar  = 0.3 ml

Number of plaques = 46 pfu

Dilution (d) = 10^{-6}

Final concentration of phage stock is equal to

= \frac{pfu}{d*v}

Where pfu is the count of plaques

d is the dilution and v is the volume

Substituting the given values, we get -

\frac{46}{10^{-6} * 10^{-1}} \\= 46 * 10^7 pfu/ml

3.Why is the surface of the Earth in constant motion?
tekilochka [14]
3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move. 

4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea. 

5.  An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption. 

6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter. 

7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.

8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.

9.  The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure

10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.

11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended. 

12.  The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall. 

13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)
