The answer is it will not change it's color.

A citrate is a derivative of citric acid; that is, the salts , esters , and the polyatomic anion found in solution. An example of the former, a salt is trisodium citrate ; an ester is triethyl citrate .

If a bacterium cannot use citrate agar will not change its color (stays green). On the other hand, if bacteria have the ability to use citrate, the medium will change its color from green to blue.

This happens because citrate agar contains pH indicator such as bromothymol blue which transforms from green to blue in alkaline conditions.

Why are small populations so much more likely to experience genetic drift

Lelechka [254]

The founder effect occurs when a portion of the population (i.e. "founders") separates from the old population to start a new population with different allele frequencies. Small populations are more susceptible genetic drift than largepopulations, whose larger numbers can buffer the population against chance events.

Which of the following statements is true of cytokinesis? a. takes place in plant cells only b. completes the cell cycle c. orga

ICE Princess25 [194]

Hey there!

We are going to find out and learn which of the of the following options would match the word $\boxed{cytokinesis}$

One thing about the cytokineses is that they always finish there cell cycle.

So, based from the information, your correct answer would be completes the cell cycle.

 A. takes place in plant cells only

B. completes the cell cycle

C. organizes DNA

D. occurs during pro phase

Your correct answer is $\boxed{\boxed{completes \ the \ cell \ cycle}}$

Hope this helps.

What kind of solution causes chloroplasts to be pushed outward against the cell wall, isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic?

Elina [12.6K]

The answer to this question would be hypertonic.

If the chloroplast is going to be pushed against the cell wall, probably the water around the cell wall is decreased, causing it to suck up the water inside. Then, the solution must be causing the cell to lose water. The cell will lose water if put in a hypertonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the osmotic pressure of the solution is higher than the cell, make it attract water from cells.
