Answer:

Antiseptics can be used on living tissue disinfectants work well on biofilms

Explanation:

Both antiseptics and disinfectants kill bacteria and inhibit their growth. However the big difference between the two is that antiseptics are used on living tissue such as skin while disinfectants are used on inanimate substances like the table tops of hospitals. Disinfectants usually have biocides that are not safe to apply on skin, mucous membrane, and tissue due to their toxicity.   An example of an antiseptic is iodine while an example of disinfectant is Lysol.

Answer: d.  All the body cells arise from mitotic divisions of the same fertilized egg.

Explanation:

After conception occurs and an egg is fertilized, mitosis takes place as the egg begins to divide into other cells. This is how all the cells in the body are eventually formed regardless of how specialized their roles are.

As a result, every cell in the human body shares the same genes so any biological liquid or structure of the body would indicate the criminal because they would share the same gene as the rest of the cells in the criminal.

this is a region in which cold air clashes with warm air. While there does tend to be a strong temperature gradient along fronts in the plains this explanation only touches the surface to why tornadoes are common in the plains.

A tornado requires a parent thunderstorm. Thus, an environment conducive to tornadoes must also be conducive to thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are much more common in certain locations. Thunderstorms are not nearly as common to the west of the plains as they are across the plains and to the east of the plains. The Gulf coast region has the most thunderstorms.

I'm pretty sure that this is the correct answer "The enzymes in the second test tube must have denatured at 1000C, since most enzymes degrade at such high temperatures." that is if you're using Plato, in which case this would be one of your answer choices.
