Answer: CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
Explanation:
Microorganisms are very small and difficult to count directly. Instead, a laboratory technique is used to count CFUs (Colony Formation Units). This involves making dilutions of a microbial suspension and spreading it on thin layers of agar containing nutrients for growth in Petri dishes also called agar plates. After incubation under ideal conditions, some plates are completely covered with microbial growth; some have little or no growth; and some are covered with individual isolated "spots", which are microbial colonies. Since a colony may consist of a single organism or a group of microbes, the dots represent a CFU.
To calculate the viable count of the stock culture, you have to count the number of colonies, multiply by the dilution and the result will be the plate count in CFU.
So, the equation is:
CFU/mL = Number of colonies / (Volume trasferred to plate x dilution blank)
100 microliters = 0.1 mililiter
1/10 = 0.1 (dilution factor)
Replacing the information from the question:
CFU/mL = 142 / (0.1 mL x 0.1)
CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL
Answer: Homeostasis
Our body temperature stays constant no matter the changes that may occur in the outer environment - for example, a hot summer afternoon or a cold winter morning. This is an example of homeostasis
Explanation:
Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment. Hence, the body maintains a stable temperature, ph level, water-salt balance etc, necessary for healthy development based on the effects of the hormonal and nervous systems.
Answer:
The correct answer is 2.) 1 , 2
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which single parent cell divides into two daughter cells with equal number of chromosomes as in the parent cell.
It occurs in somatic cells of the body for growth and repair of the tissue.
It maintains the chromosomal number between parent and daughter cells and it is the reason that it is also called as equational division.
Answer:
basophils:
Explanation:
primary phagocytic cells type that fights infection
Schizocoelic development
The coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity, where the internal organs are suspended in. It is the cavity between the wall of the body and the digestive tract.
In the schizocoelic development of the embryo, the coelom, called the schizocoel, develops as a split in the mesoderm. The outer layer of the mesoderm attaches with the ectoderm to form a body's musculature, while the inner layer attaches with the endoderm to form the wall of the digestive tract.
This type of development is commonly found in annelids, arthropods, and mollusks.
