When organisms die, their bodies decompose bringing the nitrogen into soil on land or into ocean water. Bacteria alter the nitrogen into a form that plants are able to use. Other types of bacteria are able to change nitrogen dissolved in waterways into a form that allows it to return to the atmosphere.
Answer: 43 x 10^6 CFU.
Explanation:
Plate count is a method used to determine the number of viable microorganisms in a sample. When the bacterial concentration is high, serial dilutions are carried out in a 1:10 sequence. <u>Then, the dilutions are successive dilutions keeping the dilution factor constant at each step</u>. Small aliquots of these dilutions are seeded in medium contained in a Petri dish where the bacteria grow forming colonies. Then the plates are incubated and colonies develop both within the agar and on the surface.
If the concentration of the seeded aliquot is too high, the bacteria will grow too much and it will not be possible to distinguish the colonies. <u>However, if the concentration is very low, the number of colony forming units (CFU) may be very low and thus can be counted</u>.
Colony forming units are calculated:
CFU = Number of colonies / (volume seeded on the plate * dilution).
The dilution is 10^-6, the number of colonies counted is 43, and usually the volume plated is 0.1 mL, so we replace that in the equation:
CFU= 43 / (0.1 mL * 10^-6)
CFU= 43000000 = 43 x 10^6
The correct option is A.
Risk taking has been shown to be affected at a BAL of 0.01.
The full meaning of BAL is blood alchol level. Blood alcohol level refers to the amount of alcohol that is present is a specific quantity of one's blood. As the quantity of alcohol one is taking in increasing the BAL also increases and this affect the way one behave. At the BAL of 0.10, one's ability to think and to judge is severely affected thus making one to become prone to unnecessary risk taking behavior.
AnswerDuring breathing, air travels from your mouth and pharynx into the larynx (toward your lungs). When you swallow, a flap called the epiglottis moves to block the entrance of food particles into your larynx and lungs. The muscles of the larynx pull upward to assist with this movement.:
Explanation:
Not all transport will cease. Active transport will cease, because it requires energy. However, passive transport requires no energy from the cell.
