You have a culture of yeast that is at a concentration of 6.74 x 10^6 cells/ml. You dilute the sample 1:100, and then 1:100 agai

n, and finally you dilute the sample an additional 1:3. You add 0.1 ml of the final dilution to a spread plate.
1. Assuming that most of the cells in the original culture were living, how many CFUs do you expect to count on your spread plate the next day?

Answer:

22 cells

Explanation:

The concentration of numbers of cells = 6.74 x 10⁶ cells/ml

Dilution stages includes =  1:100  ;     1:100    &        1:3

The consecutive dilution stages can be calculated as:

= (6.74 x 10⁶) × (1/100)(1/100)(1/3)

=  222.42 cells/ml

= 2.22 × 10² cells/ml

So after addition  0.1 ml of the final dilution to a spread plate, the number of CFUs ( Colony forming units) we expect to count will be:

= (2.22 × 10² cells/ml)(0.1 ml)

= 22.2 cells

≅ 22 cells.

Hydrothermal vents are often rich in metals, such as copper, and also host dense populations of marine organisms. Which of the f
nydimaria [60]

The answer is copper. Nonrenewable resources are those that cannot be readily/naturally replaced at rates that match those of consumption (an aspect that allow renewable resources to be sustainable). Copper are made deep in earth at very slow rates hence do not readily renew themselves. Organisms, on the other hand die, and are naturally replaced by offspring.

Complete the following vocabulary exercise related to the process of translation of mRNA to protein by the ribosome.Match the wo
vredina [299]

1. The RNA that has an amino acid attached to it, and that binds to the codon on the mRNA, is called a tRNA.

tRNA are molecules involved in protein synthesis (translation) and those molecules connect codons from mRNA with  the amino acids they encode.tRNA has anticodone that binds to mRNA codone.

2. The process, performed by the ribosome, of reading mRNA and synthesizing a protein is called translation.

Translation is a process of gene expression in which proteins are synthesized (translated from the codons on mRNA).

3. Initiation of translation always happens at the start codon of the mRNA.

Translation process can be divided into three stages: initiation (starting off), elongation (adding amino acids to peptide chain that is going to become protein) and termination (finishing up).

4. Amino acids are attached to tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.

These enzymes are part of the elongation stage of translation and they catalyze the adding of amino acids.

5. Termination of translation happens when the ribosome hits a stop codon on the mRNA.

Termination is the stage in which the finished polypeptide chain (future protein) is released from the ribosome.
