The  inoculating loop is used as a tool to inoculate microbes on plates. So it is necessary to flame the inoculating loop to destroy any kind of microorganisms that may contaminate ou interfer the culture medium. The fire, together with ethanol, helps to sterilize the loop, allowing it to inoculate a pure culture.

Jose and Karl were both exposed to the influenza virus at work. Jose had a flu shot made from killed influenza virus six weeks a
ipn [44]

The correct answer is Karl will get sick and Jose will not this time, but neither will get this influenza again since they both will have acquired active immunity to it.

In the case of Jose artificially active immunity has been induced due to vaccination. A vaccine instigates a primary response against the antigen without resulting in any signs of the disease. On the other hand, Karl will acquire active immunity naturally in future, as when an individual get exposed to a live pathogen, he or she develops the disease, and turns immune as an outcome of the primary immune response.

A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while savin
FromTheMoon [43]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.

C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.

D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.

Answer:

A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.

Explanation:

In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.

Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.

Which of the following can be related to heat flow and movement of molten rock within the interior of the Earth?
stiks02 [169]

The answer is; D

The plasticity of rock in the mantle and the convection currents in the region are responsible for tectonic plate movements. The hot molten rock from deep in the mantle rise and is replaced by the cooler rock at the upper mantle. These convections are similar to those of water in a boiling pot. As the tectonic plates move (as they are dragged by these convections) and collide, earthquakes are caused. In addition, at subductions zones (where two plates collide) there occurs high volcanic activity.
