A 10-7 is performed on a culture of bacteria in order to perform viable plate counts. From the dilution, *0.1 mL* of solution is

plated on solid media, and 66 colonies of bacteria grow on the plate. Assuming each colony came from a single bacterium, how many bacteria are in a single mL of the original culture?

Answer:

66 * 10^8 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Given -

a) Number of colonies of bacteria is equal to 66

b) Total volume of the solution is equal to 0.1 mL

c) Dilution factor is equal to 10^{-7}

As we know that

CFU/mL = \frac{N * DF}{V}

Where N is the number of bacterial colonies, DF is the dilution factor and V is the volume

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

CFU/mL = \frac{66* 10^7}{0.1} \\= 66*10^8

solmaris [256]
This is possible because proteins are created from different combinations of amino-acids. While we only have 20 different kinds of aminoacids, these 20 kinds can create thousands of combinations that we can observe in our bodies and bodies of other mammals as well as other organisms.

Plants use sugars as
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

a fuel for cellular respiration and a starting material for making other organic molecules.

Explanation:

Plants have the ability to produce sugars by the process of photosynthesis. Plants can convert the inorganic CO2 from the air into the organic nutrients such as sugars. Plants store sugars so that they can serve as a source of ATP for the cells as and when required. The sugars enter the process of cellular respiration and are oxidized into CO2 and H2O. In addition, the energy of chemical bonds of the sugars is used to form ATP molecules.

Plants also use sugars to synthesize other organic molecules. For example, several intermediates of Kreb's cycle can serve as precursors for the synthesis of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together to form different proteins.
