Answer:

The color would be Pink

Explanation:

According to the question, the bacteria is positive for the enzyme urease and it's inoculated for 24 hours.

Urease broth is a differential medium that tests the ability of an organism to produce urease, that hydrolyzes urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide. The broth contains two pH buffers, urea, a very small amount of nutrients for the bacteria, and the pH indicator phenol red. Phenol red turns yellow in an acidic environment and fuchsia in an alkaline environment.

If the urea in the broth is degraded and ammonia is produced, an alkaline environment is created, and the media turns pink within 24 hours.

Many enterics can hydrolyze urea; but only a few can degrade urea rapidly. These are called “rapid urease-positive” organisms.

Urea broth is formulated to test for rapid urease-positive organisms. The restrictive amount of nutrients coupled with the use of pH buffers prevent all but rapid urease-positive organisms from producing enough ammonia to turn the phenol red pink.

¿Qué áreas del conocimiento me pueden <br> aportar a la ejecución del proyecto? para un huerto
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Conocimientos que pueden resultar muy útiles al momento de planificar un huerto:

- biología vegetal (características de las plantas que queremos producir)

- agronomía (características del terreno utilizado)

- condiciones ambientales (meteorología), como así también la disposición del lugar

Explanation:

Para iniciar un huerto en casa es necesario tener en cuenta una serie de factores que pueden influenciar en gran medida el éxito del proyecto:

-Tener en cuenta las características de las plantas que queremos producir es fundamental para lograr un óptimo crecimento. Por ejemplo, plantas que no resisten las heladas podrían morir en ciertas regiones, con lo cual las plantas deberían encontrarse en estos casos protegidas durante su desarrollo (por ejemplo, mediante un invernáculo).

- Buscar lugares bien iluminados. La presencia de luz es un factor fundamental para el crecimiento de las plantas.

- Riego y/o precipitaciones: tener en cuenta las necesidades hídricas de las plantas que queremos producir.

- Suelo: utilizar tierra abonada suele ser la mejor opción para brindarle a las plantas la mayor cantidad de nutrientes y así garantizar un óptimo crecimiento. En el caso de usar macetas, la presencia de huecos o el uso de vermiculita puede ser de gran ayuda para permitir la escorrentia del agua.

- Espacio: es necesario tener en cuenta el espaciado entre plantas para que puedan crecer normalmente.

-Tener en cuenta las plagas (insectos, nemátodos, etc) que podrían afectar el crecimiento de las plantas.

When NADH or NADPH transfers electrons to a recipient molecule, the recipient becomes reduced and the activated carriers are oxi
Allushta [10]

Answer:

NAD is a coenzyme found in all cells. It consists of two nucleotides linked through their phosphate groups with a nucleotide that contains an adenosine ring and another that contains nicotinamide.

Explanation:

In metabolism, NAD participates in oxidation reduction reactions. This coenzyme is found in two forms in the cells: NAD and NADH. NAD accepts electrons from other molecules and is reduced, forming NADH, which you can use as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of the NAD.

In living organisms, NAD can be synthesized from scratch from the amino acids tryptophan or aspartic acid. Some NADs are found in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), whose chemistry is similar to NAD, although it has different functions in metabolism.
