<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.
Plate tectonics is referred to a geology theory, which explains the movement of earth’s lithosphere. This theory suggests that the earth’s lithosphere is made up of many plates, and these plates move on each other causing collision of the plates or sometimes separation of the landmasses.
Sometimes, the movements of the plate occur in such a way that the surface of the earth is buried underground. Even in normal circumstance, some of the surface materials buried underground. So, by studying the type of things existed on the surface in past, one can predict the abundance of a specific substance underground.
Hence, the correct answer is option b. – Plate tectonics.
Answer:
<em>Digested food is a source of potential energy</em>
Explanation:
When we digest food, the molecules of the food are broken down into smaller compounds. Chemical energy is released due to this process. Chemical energy can be used to form glucose and fat. These molecules store energy in them. When energy is required by the body, the glucose molecules can be converted into ATP and hence give energy. This energy can be used for various purposes such as it can be converted into mechanical energy for muscle movements.
