Why do living things need nitrogen?

1 answer:

4 0

The atmosphere is made up of 21 per cent of oxygen and the rest is mainly nitrogen,if the atmosphere was high in oxygen we would over oxygenate our body leading us to death,but since our lungs do not absorb nitrogen, when breathing,we get the right level of oxygen. so basically in order to have oxygen,we need nitrogen.
also, we need nitrogen to make proteins in our bodies( muscle,skin,DNA,etc) in the sense that our bodies need nitrogen in the amino acids from food containing protein to produce more amino acids

You dilute an unknown sample of bacteria to 1 x 10-6 and plate out 10 onto a Petri dish. The next day you count 64 colonies. The

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer would be 6.4 x $10^6$ cells/ul.

For 1 x 10-6 dilution, the plating factor is $10^6$ . To find the number of bacteria in the original sample, the plating factor is multiplied by the colony count per ul.

Number of viable bacteria = plating factor x colony count/ul

Since 10 ul gives 64 colonies. 1 ul will give:

64/10 = 6.4 colonies.

Therefore, the viable bacteria in the original sample = 6.4 x $10^6$ cells/ul

The correct option is b.

I think it wouldn’t be dead until it looses all of its color and is able to crumple in your fingertips. So basically, it isn’t dead yet when it is wilted. But Its getting to the stage of being dead (like how old people are at that stage of their life where they will pass away soon).

To put it simply, the flower is not dead yet, it’s just “old” :D
