SVEN [57.7K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The serial dilution can be done by half- logarithmic dilution method.

Explanation:

  • This is also called the Ten-fold dilution method.
  • The process involves the following steps, and the volumes represented are arbitrary.
  1. From the concentrated solution of the disinfectant take 1 ml of disinfectant in a falcon tube. 9 ml of water is added to that. Here we get a solution which is  \frac{1}{10} diluted.
  2. Take 1 ml of the above \frac{1}{10} diluted solution in another falcon and add 9 ml of water to it. Here we will get a solution which is  \frac{1}{20} diluted.
  3. Take 1 ml of the above \frac{1}{20} diluted solution in another falcon and add 9 ml of water to it. Here we will get a solution which is  \frac{1}{40} diluted.
  4. Take 1 ml of the above \frac{1}{40} diluted solution in another falcon and add 9 ml of water to it. Here we will get a solution which is  \frac{1}{80} diluted.

Chloramphenicol binds in the active site of the large ribosomal subunit and inhibits peptidyl transferase activity in the 23s rr
valentina_108 [34]
This inhibition is restricted to bacterial translation because; the peptidyl transferase is an enzyme aminoacyltransferase as well as the primary enzymatic function of the ribosome, which forms peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids using tRNAs during the process of translation. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme means that the process oof translation wont take place, hence proteins will not be formed and thus the bacteria will die.

How does wet and dry barometer work?? Thnx
tatiyna

Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!
