2. The scientist hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria. He decided to isolate this su

bstance and test it to see if it would kill bacteria. He transferred the mold to a nutrient broth solution. This solution contained all the materials the mold needed to grow. After the mold grew, he removed it from the nutrient broth and then added the broth to a culture of bacteria. He observed that the bacteria in the culture died. His experiments were later used to develop antibiotics.

Answer:

IF mold is added to a bacteria culture, THEN the mold will produce a chemical that will kill the bacteria.

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a testable explanation to an observed problem. A possible solution or possible answer given to a question or problem, which can be tested via experimentation is referred to as HYPOTHESIS. The hypothesis is usually written in an IF, THEN format.

According to this question, a scientist (identified to be Fleming) hypothesized that the mold must be producing a chemical that killed the bacteria and tested it by setting up an experiment whose result turned out to support his hypothetical claim.

Therefore, his hypothesis in an IF, THEN statement is:

IF mold is added to a bacteria culture, THEN the mold will produce a chemical that will kill the bacteria.

Schach [20]

The red blood corpuscles have a pigment called hemoglobin that binds to the oxygen and carries it to the whole body in both the conditions, when the body is at rest or when the body is exercising. The oxygenated blood from the heart is carried to the various parts of the body and the de-oxygenated blood from various parts of the body is carried to the lungs where the exchange of gases takes place.

An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers
