The antibiotic penicillin is isolated from <u><em>Penicillium notatum</em></u> fungi

Penicillin was first discovered in 1928 and was used at St. Mary's Hospital, London, by Alexander Fleming to heal wounds due to its antibacterial properties.

Explanation:

Fungi and bacteria usually produce antibiotics (as secondary metabolites) for defense mechanism. They do so to limit competition for resources with other neighboring fungi or bacteria in their environment.  This is why when a fungus or bacteria establishes itself in an environment, you hardly see other fungi or bacteria types growing in their vicinity.

A grocer stacks oranges in a four-sided pyramid that is 6 layers high. Solve for the number of oranges in the pile.
Vlada [557]
Each layer contains the square of the layer number.
<span>So,
Let's figure out :
1 squared = 1 </span>
<span>2 squared = 4 </span>
<span>3 squared = 9 </span>
<span>4 squared = 16 </span>
<span>5 squared = 25 
</span>6 squared = 36
<span>Hence,
The total number of oranges in the pile = 1+4+9+16+25+36
                                                               = 91 oranges

A lab assistant needs to mix up the following reaction to prepare DNA for an experiment:_________.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The total solution formed after mixing the components will be

20 μl + 20 μl + 40 μl + 120 μl = 200 μl

The smallest size tube that will hold the entire reaction is:

Firstly convert 200μl to ml

1000 μl = 1 ml

200 μl = X

X = 200 x 1/1000

X = 0.2 ml

The smallest size tube (from the options provided in the question) is 0.25 ml.

The pipetting device that could be used to accurately measure all the needed volumes must be able to measure 20 μl, 40 μl and 120 μl.

The best pipette to accurately take these measurements individually is the P200 micropipette because it has an accurate/useful range of between 20 μl - 200 μl
