Answer:

This is to ensure accurate recording and  interpretations of the observed results without Carbohydrate.

To ensure that the observed results was due to the expected investigating factor, and not due to any external factor.

Explanation:

The basal media without  carbohydrate is the negative control setup. since there is no carbohydrate their will be no  bacterial growth .Therefore the activities of the bacteria can be fully observed . However the basal media with carbohydrate  have full growth since CHO is available as nutrient; ,asexual reproduction will occur and growth takes palce.  Thus the control(without CHO) and the  actual experiment can be compared for accuracy. Therefore the basal media without CHO. acted as active negative control for results analysis and interpretation.

In addition the two growth media  should be   inoculated. Thus any observable changes can be attributed to bacterial growth, and not due to any external factors.This justify  reasons for the answers above.

Answer:

As a control, which, in this case, is a negative control. Since there is no carbohydrate added there will be no bacterial growth. In your tubes which do have some carbohydrate there will be bacterial growth. Since you used a control you can compare any changes in the tubes in which you have growth to the tubes without growth, which would represent the original state of the media. This makes any results easier to notice and interpret rather than having to remember what the tubes used to look like.

It also ensures that any change in the media is due to the growth of the bacteria and not some external factor. Since both sets of tubes were inoculated but only one set shows some change you can be sure that that change is due to the growth of the bacteria.

Which of these are components of blood? (Select all that apply.)
asambeis [7]

Answer:

oxygen gas

red blood cells

platelets

Explanation:

» <u>Concepts</u>

Your blood is composed of four main things: <u>red blood cells</u> (that transport <u>oxygen</u>), <u>white blood cells</u>, <u>platelets</u>, and <u>plasma</u>. Red blood cells transports oxygen and takes out CO2, white blood cells fight bacteria and viruses, and platelets clot together to stop bleeding.

<u>Bile</u> is a fluid that is produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, so it's not a main component of blood.

Explain what is ecological conservation and conservation of the environment. What can you do to conserve the environment? Why do
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Conservation ecology is the branch of ecology and evolutionary biology that deals with the preservation and management of biodiversity and natural resources. Its goal is to find ways to conserve species, habitats, landscapes, and ecosystems as quickly, as efficiently, and as economically as possible.

-These are some examples of how we can conserve the environment:

Recycle your rubbish and participate in or help organize recycling campaigns.

Avoid littering and participate in or help organize litter clean-ups (here you can link to a website for volunteering or starting your own beach clean-up).

Use less plastic by, for example, carrying a reusable water bottle, saying no to disposable straws and cutlery, avoiding plastic toys, and bringing your own shopping bags (for further ideas on a plastic-free life take a look here).

Swap toys, movies, and books instead of buying new ones.

Donate, recycle, and repair electronic devices (see how here).

Use less water when brushing teeth, taking a shower, or washing the dishes.

Use less electricity by turning off lights and electronic devices when not in use, using energy-saving light bulbs, and hanging clothes to dry.

Use public transport, share a journey with friends (e.g., car-sharing), cycle, or walk when possible.

Use less paper by not printing unnecessary things and reading e-books.

Turn down the air conditioning when it is hot and use fans if you are still hot-they use much less power.

Turn down the heat when it is cold and use sweaters, blankets, and socks to keep warm.

Do not waste food and try to buy food that is grown locally and in season.

Hope this helps:)
