An example of this is how sound and light trigger your hearing and your vision respectively. It is often used as a measure to how a response is observed by a test subject, people or even organisms, in experiments. <span> </span>

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The lids of the Petri dishes were inadvertently left on while being sterilized

Explanation:

  • The process of eliminating any microbe from a particular object to achieve a sterile aseptic environment is termed as sterilization.
  • Sterilization mainly aims to either remove, kill or make any microbe inactive by using various means such as irradiation, heat, pressure, etc.
  • In the given question radiation is used to sterilize the Petri dishes and thus, if sterilization is successful there should not be any contamination.
  • However, since there is contamination present amongst the bacterial colonies growing on agar plated in the Petri dishes this shows that the sterilization has not been done successfully and a possible reason for this could be that while sterilizing the<em> lids of the Petri dishes were kept on. </em>

Explain why a signal cascade can be useful in certain cell processes
natima [27]
A signal cascade is a series of chemical reactions which are triggered by a stimulus acting on a receptor that is then transduced to the intracellular space through second messengers. Finally, effector molecules receive the signal causing a cellular reaction to the initial stimulus. A signal cascade is very useful because it facilitates and accelerates the communication between cells that could be in different parts of a living organism. This communication is vital for cell processes in complex multicellular organisms.
