The best method to isolate single colonies is the ___________ plate, and the best method to count colonies is the ___________ pl
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

option a. streak, pour

Explanation:

The best method to isolate single bacterial colonies is the "streak-plating" method.

The "streak-plate" procedure is used to isolate pure cultures of bacteria or also colonies, from mixed populations by mechanical separation. Millions of cells form a colony, they grow in a cluster on an agar plate. With this method, a mixture of cells is spread over the surface of a agar-based nutrient in a petri dish, that makes that less bacterial cells are deposited at widely separated point on the surface and, after incubation, they develop into colonies.

On the other hand, the best method to count colonies is the pour plate method. It helps to enumerate bacterial cells in a mixed sample, often used to count the number of microorganisms in those samples, which are added to a molten agar medium before its solidification occur. The result is colonies uniformly distributed throughout the solid medium when the appropriate sample dilution is plated.

Shifting biomes could have consequences for the regions in which the shifts occur. Read the two cases below and decide which con
Nata [24]

Answer:

increased risk of wildfires- both

local economy suffers- Case 1

carbon storage decreases - Case 2

agricultural production decreases - Case 1

carbon storage increases -  Case 1

disease vector range changes - Case 2

decreased water availability - Case 1

local economy thrives - Case 2

species range changes - Case 2

Explanation:

Fires are common to  taiga biomes. Owing to the fact that the biome in case 1 changed from an agricultural community to a grassland and subsequently to a desert, agricultural productivity will decrease, the local economy will suffer, water availability is decreased and local economy suffers as a consequence of desertification.

On the other hand, in case 2, the diseases vector range as well as species range changes due to the change in the species of foxes from Artic foxes to red foxes that carry rabies. Carbon storage decreases as the taiga biome acts as a carbon sink. The local economy thrives due to timber production.

Lastly, species range changes both in case 1 and case 2 since there is a loss of species. Species range is the area where a particular species can be found during its lifetime. Certainly, the range of area where species are found changed in cases 1 and 2.

Explain why facilitated diffusion does not require energy from a cell.
Rzqust [24]
The solute can move "downhill," from districts of higher to lower fixation, depending on the specificity of the protein bearer to go through the film. This procedure is called uninvolved transport or encouraged dissemination, and does not require vitality.
