Answer:

Explanation:

Bacterial count in stock- 1.85x10^6 cfu/ml

Dilution methods

Take 100 uL or (0.1ml) from stock and add to 900ul (0.9ml) saline and mixed it- this makes 10^1dilution.

Now take 100ul from 10^1 dilution and add to next 900ul saline this is 10^2 dilution, similarly do upto 10^5 dilution.

Then take 100ul from 10^ 4 and 10^5 dilution seperately and plate on LB agar plate seperetely and count the colonies.

Cfu/ml formula= (No.of colonies x dilution factor)/0.1 ml

So suppose, 18 colonies formed on 10^4 dilution then total no. Of cells in stock will be 18x10^4/ 0.1= 18x10^5 cfu/ml.

If we dilute 10^4 or 10^5 that's leads to colony count of 18-19 colonies on 10^4 dilution while 2 colonies should come on plate of 10^5 dilution.

The energy exchanges between space, the atmosphere, and Earth’s surface produce _____. weather and climate earthquakes and tides
Taya2010 [7]

it should be, weather and climate. because the energy exchange between space  as in the sun's energy creates heat on the earth which creates weather like rain and storms which also depends on the atmospheres conditions as well as the humidity and the texture of the earth's surface all make a dependant factor on weather and climate. I hope you have the right answer!! =)

What is the largest suspected environmental problem associated with the burning of fossil fuels? A) global warming B) depletion
zysi [14]

The correct answer is option A

The burning of fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide in the environment. Carbon dioxide is the main green house gas. The green house gases work by trapping the heat that comes inside the earth from the sun.

The carbon dioxide is the green house gas that traps maximum heat coming from the sun. If the carbon dioxide would not have been there then the temperature of the earth would have been very low and the atmosphere would have been colder.

But the global temperature is rising due to lost of carbon dioxide present in the environment as the burning of fossil fuels is increasing day by day.
