What is the purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test? why is it necessary to use two co

ntrols rather than one? what are the specific functions of each control tube?

<u>Answer</u>:

1. The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test is to serve as basis of the medium for the color comparison and that it is sterile.

2. It is necessary to use two controls in order to illustrate the no color change (green color) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

3. The purpose of the experiment is to determine if the organisms utilize the carbohydrate and thus is fermentative. This will result in a color change from green to yellow.

Thus, the medium in one tube is sealed with a layer of paraffin to prevent diffusion of oxygen.  This tube will show that the medium is unaffected by the lack of oxygen.

The second tube will allow the diffusion of oxygen. This tube will show that the medium does not change color naturally in the presence of oxygen. Thus, the color changes will be caused only by the fermentation process of the organisms.

What would happen if a plant was unable to produce cuticles?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

It will be dehydrated, and will eventually wilt.

Explanation:

Transpiration causes water loss in a plant and this could be regulated by the cuticle, because it protect the plant tissues from unwanted water.

  So when it is absent dehydration takes place, and the plant stem will not totally provide support. This will eventually wilt the said plant.

What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the complete question is: What do you think would have the greatest effect on the body—a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell, or a harmful mutation in an adult multipotent stem cell?The correct answer is a harmful mutation in a pluripotent embryonic stem cell.

Explanation:

Pluripotent Stem Cells can self-renew and differentiate into any of the three germ layers, which are: the ectoderm, the endoderm and the mesoderm. These three germ layers subsequently differentiate to form all the tissues and organs within a human being. If during embryonic development, genetic mutations - alterations in genes - occur in the embryonic stem cell, they pass to daughter cells as a consequence of cell division, and an individual is generated whose cells differ at the genetic level. Multipotent stem cells are organospecific cells, that is, they can give rise to any type of cells but from a specific organ (a lung, a kidney or the brain). Their differentiation ends the moment they specialize and become a cell with a specific function within a specific tissue or organ. If there were a mutation in these cells, it would damage a specific designed tissue or organ.
