<u>Answer</u>:
1. The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test is to serve as basis of the medium for the color comparison and that it is sterile.
2. It is necessary to use two controls in order to illustrate the no color change (green color) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
3. The purpose of the experiment is to determine if the organisms utilize the carbohydrate and thus is fermentative. This will result in a color change from green to yellow.
Thus, the medium in one tube is sealed with a layer of paraffin to prevent diffusion of oxygen. This tube will show that the medium is unaffected by the lack of oxygen.
The second tube will allow the diffusion of oxygen. This tube will show that the medium does not change color naturally in the presence of oxygen. Thus, the color changes will be caused only by the fermentation process of the organisms.
Answer: The slope of the line that passes through the points (-4, -4) and (4,8) is 3/2
Answer:
65 L
Explanation:
It is assumed that the temperature is constant at both the sea level and the altitude.
<em>According to the gas law, at constant temperature, the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.</em> Mathematically:
P1V1 = P2V2 where P1 = pressure at initial volume, V1 = volume at initial pressure, P2 = pressure at final volume, and V2 = volume at final pressure.
In the illustration, V1 = 15 L, P1 = 100 kPa, V2 =?, P2 = 23 kPa
V2 = P1V1/P2 = 100 x 15/23 = 65.22 L
<u>The volume of the hot air balloon at the altitude would be 65 L</u>
