1.
Cow manure was used as a source of starch degrading bacteria because it contain amylase.
Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates molecules(starch)  into smaller molecules, making it possible to absorve those molecules.
Cows have this enzyme in their feces because they don't use it as much.
This will make t<span>he microorganisims in the manure use starch as their main food source.</span>

2. Besides this use, Bacteria that degrade starch can be used in food, fermentation, textile and paper industries.
The genus Bacillus are an example of starch degrading bacteria.

3. Starch agar is selective for starch degrading bacteria because it tests the ability of an organism to produce amylase<span />.
In this medium, there is Gram iodine that will react with the starch in the agar to create blue coloration plate.

Iodine is a yellowish solution. A starch solution is white. A starch solution turns purplish-black in the presence of iodine. If
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the color change will be observed and the solution will turn purplish-black.

Explanation:

Iodine test is performed to test the presence of the carbohydrates mainly starch.

The iodine solution is chemically called potassium iodide which forms a yellow solution. The potassium iodide solution forms a complex with a starch solution which appears a purplish-black color which shows the presence of the carbohydrates.

In the given question, if we add the iodine solution to the beaker after a certain point of time then it will still form a complex with the starch and thus beaker solution will appear darker in color.

What do the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions have in common? hints what do the parasympathetic and sympathetic division
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Most nerve fibers from both divisions innervate many of the same effectors.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions share the same sites of origin.

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for controlling the homeostasis, resting and digestion functions of the body. The sympathetic nervous system controls the body's response against threat and fight and flight responses. Both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems are responsible for the involuntary functions of the human body.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions share the same sites of origin because both have the nerve fibers that are originated from brain or spinal cord that are directed or passes to the targeted organs.

Most nerve fibers from both divisions innervate many of the same effectors so as to induce functions according to the bodily needs.
