Scientifics consensus supports the idea that living organisms require oxygen. Then, a scientist discovers a type of bacteria tha

t metabolizes sulfur instead of oxygen, and thus survives in environments without oxygen. The scientist concludes that a diverse group of many different organisms could live in an oxygen-free enviroment. Why should are some scientists skeptical of the scientist's results and conclusion?

Couple of things:
1: only one type of bacteria was discovered metabolising sulphur, this does not necessarily mean that other bacteria, or indeed another organism can also metabolise sulphur. For his theory to be correct, many more and different types of organisms, metabolising sulphur needs to be discovered.

Secondly the use of the word diverse infers that more than just bacteria can metabolise sulphur. Bacteria are unicellular (single-celled) organisms, we therefore cannot say that multicellular organism can also do this, it could be specific to that one type of bacteria.

How many grams of tris (mw 121.1) would you need to prepare 100 ml of a 100 mm tris solution? _________ grams?
Tems11 [23]

Molarity = (Mass/ molar mass) x (1/ volume of solution in Litres)

Mass = Molarity x molar mass x  volume of solution in Litres

Molarity of Tris = 100 mM = 0.1 M

volume of Tris sol. = 100 mL = 0.1 L

molar mass of Tris = 121.1 g/mol

Hence,

mass of Tris = Molarity of Tris x molar mass ofTris x volume of Tris solution

= 0.1 M x 121.1 g/mol x 0.1 L

= 1.211 g

mass of Tris = 1.211 g
