TiliK225 [7]3 years ago

  <span>Simmon’s Citrate agar is used to determine an organism’s ability to use citrate as a sole carbon source.Simon’s citrate agar is a defined medium in which sodium citrate is the sole carbon source, and ammonium is the sole nitrogen source. Bromothymol blue (BTB) is included as a pH indicator 
The medium is initially at pH 6.9, at which BTB is green; at a pH greater than 7.6 BTB turns a deep blue. The pH change is induced by CO2, which is given off as a by-product of citrate utilization. When it reacts with Na and H2O in the agar it raises the pH above 7.6 

The organism must contain the enzyme citrase to degrade citrate 

(citrase) 
Citrate --------->CO2 + Na HCO + H2O 
I
(blue color change) 

Now, coming to how a citrate test may give false results. There are only 2 ways that can happen. 
- Failure to incubate with loose caps may result in a false-negative results. 
- Avoid using a large inoculum to streak the strand; an inoculum that is too heavy may result in a false-positive test. </span>

Describe Newton’s second law of motion. In your response, discuss how an object’s mass or the force that is exerted on the objec
Ann [662]

Answer:

Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. The greater the force that is applied to an object of a given mass, the more the object will accelerate.

Explanation:

For example, doubling the force on the object doubles its acceleration.

Example 1: Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop.

Mrac [35]
<span>B is the right answer. Gentoo and Emperor penguins employing different mating rituals is an example of behavioral isolation. Behavioral isolation is the umbrella term for a host of differences between species, although in the case of different mating behaviors this variety of behavioral isolation is intended to prevent cross-breeding between different members of the same species in the same environment.</span>
