Answer:

It is essentially a broth culture filtrate of the penicillium mould.

Explanation:

  • Alexander Fleming invented penicillin an antibiotic in 1928. These have been rated as the most important scientific discovery, being among the first antibiotics to be effective against bacterial infection.
  • Penicillin belongs to different families that are selective against a large variety of bacteria.
  • In fact, this antibiotic was discovered by fleming and accident in which he left a platter containing staphylococci open and was contaminated by green mould. There was an area of inhibited bacterial growth around the mould from which he inferred that the mould produced a material that inhibited bacterial growth. This was found to be a penicillium mould through further study.
  • I assume penicillin is the most significant discovery so far because it was the first antibiotic ever discovered against bacterial infection in the absence of any drug.

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Not A.I don't think that's a problem for gulls especially on beaches.

B. Not B.  Their feather do not look like they need much help in keeping their feathers attached when in flight.

C. This is not really the answer, but it is the best answer of these 4. The actual answer is that the bones are porous for better air intake which provides more oxygen and hence they are better able to fly.

D. Not D. Food has nothing to do with the problem. Birds get an adequate amount of food without their wings being porous. See the answer for C.

During primary succession, an ecosystem cannot 're-build' with large trees and bushes. Explain.
Luden [163]
I believe they cannot start with big trees and bushes because the there is not enough nutrients in the soil, so instead pioneer species pave the way for primary succession.

The dialysis tube was permeable to which substance? how did you determine this?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

It was concluded that the dialysis tubing doesn't allow all kinds of substances to pass readily through the pores of its membrane. This means that it is selective in its permeability to substances. The dialysis tubing was permeable to glucose and iodine but not to starch.
