The original concentration in a sample is 5.1 x 10^9 cfu/ml. which sample volume should yield a countable plate

Chemistry

The original concentration is 5.1 × 10⁹ CFU / ml

In order to attain a countable plate, the number of CFU must be present in between 10 and 200 per ml.

Let us take 0.1 ml and dilute it to 1 ml.

This minimizes the concentration to 5.1 × 10⁹ × 10⁻¹ = 5.1 × 10⁸ CFU/ml

In order to minimize the concentration in between 10 and 200, it can be reduced to 5.1 × 10¹

The final concentration = 5.1 × 10¹ CFU/ml

Initial concentration = 5.1 × 10⁹ CFU/ml

Volume of sample with 5.1 × 10¹ CFU = 5.1 × 10¹ CFU × (1 ml / 5.1 × 10⁹ CFU)

= 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ ml

This is the volume to be taken to obtain countable value, 51 CFU.

Can you use active transport in a sentence
otez555 [7]

Active transport is the moving of molecules across the membrane of the cell against the concentration gradient with the use of ATP.

Low to high concentration. Concentration gradient is the diffusion (movement of molecules from regions of low concentration) from high to low with the gradient. Active transport is from low to high, against the gradient.

Salt is dissolved in a flask of tap water. Distilling the mixture causes the salt to separate from the water. Which type of ener
Alik [6]
Heat energy is required.
In distillation, the solution is first heated, where heat energy is required, such as using a bunsen burner.
When the solution is heated, the water may reach its boiling point and evaporate. However, salt does not. When water molecules evaporates, it travels through a condenser that cools it down into liquid again. Therefore we get pure water. Salt is also obtained in the original beaker.
Therefore to first start this process, heat energy is required.

What property of metals is reactivity
nata0808 [166]
The reactivity of a metal is determined by these things.
Firstly, the number of electrons in the outer shell; the fewer the number of electrons in the outer shell, the more reactive the metal.
The number of electron shells also affects reactivity, the more electron shells there are, the more reactive the metal.
