The bacteriologist Sir Alexander Fleming was engage in the study of staphyococcus a kind of bacteria that wa being grown in petr

i dishes . That's when he noticed the peniciin mold that was aso growing in some culture dishes. There was a clear area around the penicilin . Sir Alexander hypothesised that the penicillin mold could be producing a chemical that kills bacteria.o He decided to test his hypothesis by isolating the chemical and testing it to see if it would really kill bacteria . He transferred it to a solution of nutrient broth that contained the elements necessary to it's growth . Once the mold flourished , he removed it from the broth and transferred the broth to a culture of bacteria. the bacteria died as a result. This discovery was used to develop several kinds of antibiotics that treated several deadly diseases. what is the problem here ? what is the hypothesis?

DaniilM [7]
Once you have stopped for a school bus, do not pass until the driver signals you to proceed, the red lights stop flashing, or the bus starts moving ahead. Whenever a vehicle ahead of you stops to let  a pedestrian pass in front of you, you should stay in line and until the vehicle ahead proceeds.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

D. The rate of energy demand determines how the muscles will obtain energy, either from cellular respiration or from lactic acid fermentation if not enough oxygen is present.

Explanation:

It is important to consider that Kenny hikes all day but at a steady pace, whereas Janelle runs very fast. So Kenny's case, the supply of oxygen is sufficient to maintain aerobic respiration within the muscle cells. During this process only CO2, Water, and ATP are produced; therefore, there is no oxygen debt. We should keep in mind that the body shifts to anaerobic metabolism only when the supply of oxygen is limited.

In Janelle's case, running fast would need energy at higher rates and the supply of oxygen would not be sufficient to generate a high amount of ATPs. Therefore, to compensate for this deficiency, cells will start fermenting glucose to lactic acid and produce ATP and maintain energy demands. This lactic acid causes fatigue and this is why Janelle has aching and breathing hard. Breathing hard is also automatic reflux to inhale more oxygen and meet oxygen demands but even breathing hard would not be able to make it and the body will shift to anaerobic respiration automatically.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Principle of cross-cutting relationships

Explanation:

The geologic principle that will provide the most profound explanation to this problem is the principle of cross-cutting relationships.

It states that "features that cross-cuts rocks are younger than the layer they cut through".

Some of these features are intrusions, faults and joints.

The logic behind this reasoning is that without the rock in place, the cross-cutting event wouldn't have been recorded.

We can liken this to a fracture on the wall of a building. If the wall is not erected, there wouldn't be any fracture. Therefore, the fracture is far younger than the wall.
