Biology
1 answer:

Answer:

Providone-iodine solution, clorhexidine gluconate or benzalkonium chloride

Explanation:

<em>A blood culture is performed to assess the blood for the presence of foreign microbes such as bacteria, fungi such as yeast, and so on.</em>

Blood culturing requires taking blood samples from subjects.  The site of blood collection on the body for blood-related analysis is referred to as venipuncture site. The site must be properly cleaned and sterilized to eliminate contaminating bacteria.

Providone-iodine solution is usually the default solution used at the venipuncture site. However, for those that might be allergic to iodine, clorhexidine gluconate or benzalkonium chloride is usually used in its place.

Describe how wind forms ocean waves in deep water and how these waves change as they develop in 6 sentences
bogdanovich [222]
Wind-driven waves are created by friction between wind and surface water. When wind blows across the surface of an ocean the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These waves can be created through local winds or distant winds. The waves can be affected by wind speed and wind duration. The faster the wind and the longer it blows, the bigger the waves. It also can depend on how far the wind blows uninterrupted.
