If we have a plate that has 2500 colonies on it, can we use this plate to calculate CFU's

No, the solution with bacteria in it needs to be diluted in order to be in the range of 30 – 300.

A colony-forming unit –CFU is used to estimate the number of viable (ability to divide by binary fission) microbes in a sample.  

A sample of microbes is diluted and spread on a plate. Then, the number of colonies is counted, assuming that each colony have grown from a single colony-forming unit, or CFU.

Plates with more than 300 colonies are difficult to count while those with less than 30 colonies give statistically unreliable numbers of colonies to count.

) During the germinal period, the fertilized ovum duplicates and forms a blastocyst. This hollow ball of cells ________.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

C - Contains the embryonic disk

Explanation:

After an egg is fertilized, it begins to divide into smaller cells, from the 1 cell stage, to 2, to 4 and so on. Then, on the third day, the cells fall within 16-200 cells and it is then called a <em>morula</em>.

On the fifth day, the morula becomes a ball of calls which is now differentiated into an <em>inner cell mass and a trophectoderm</em>. The inner cell mass becomes the <em>embryo</em> as development goes on and the trophectoderm, becomes the <em>placenta</em>.

As development goes on further, the floor of the amniotic cavity is formed by the embryonic disk, a layer of prismatic cells derived from the inner cell mass.

The embryonic disc develops into 3 layers:

  • Endoderm
  • Mesoderm
  • Ectoderm

There is a major differentiation of cells which gives a template  for the origin of development of specific organs of the embryo.
