On a person’s hand, there can be 300,000-500,000 genetically distinct bacteria at one time. Wendy regularly puts hand sanitizer

on because she is nervous about getting sick. The hand sanitizer kills 99% of these bacteria, but about 3,000-5,000 bacteria are left that are genetically resistant to the hand sanitizer.

Step2247 [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Regarding what is written, it would be considered true if the antibacterial soap used has the real capacity to kill 99.9% of bacteria.

If so, it should be clarified that 1 of the resistant bacteria will survive hand washing, so it cannot be considered as sterilization.

Explanation:

The bacteria that survive, which would be 1% are considered to be the most pathogenic bacteria, which is why it may be that if Wendy continues having this habit, the health of her hands will worsen since she may suffer from opportunistic infections or possible dermatitis.

All pros when conducting a lab experiment except?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

I personally believe that lab experiments are useful and an effective way to test and gather data. Even though they can often lack ecological validity and mundane realism they can easily be replicated and results can be retested, helping to prove/disprove data, ultimately leading to the creation of practical applications.

  • That psychologist can make statements about cause and effect because they involve the deliberate manipulation of one variable while trying to keep the other variables constant, unlike non-experimental methods.
  • Lab experiments can also be replicated due to the standardised procedures and measures, ultimately making it easier to check the reliability of the research/results and prove/disprove results if the research is conducted by another researcher.

Which of the following statements about the smooth endoplasmic reticulum is/are correct?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The correct answers are:

• Liver cells are abundant in SER.  

This is because liver cells contain enzymes that metabolize various lipid-soluble compounds.

• The testes and ovaries are tissue types whose cells are abundant in SER.

This is because testes and ovaries produce steroid hormones (cholesterol is the precursor for their synthesis).

• Cholesterol is made in the SER.  

ER is the organelle at which all membrane lipids are synthesized.

• Phospholipids are synthesized from cytosolic water soluble precursor molecules.  

Phospholipids are the main lipids that are the main structural components of the cell membrane. They are synthesized on the cytosolic side of the ER membrane, from water-soluble cytosolic precursors.
