Answer:

The Answer is C

Explanation:

Mannitol salt agar is a selective, differential growth medium used for the culture of staphylococcus bacteria capable of fermenting mannitol which is the principal sugar source. The medium contains mannitol as the sugar source and (7.5 - 10%) sodium chloride which inhibits the growth of most other bacteria, phenol red; an indicator for detecting pH change produced due to mannitol fermentation. The fermentation of mannitol by the bacteria causes the production of an acidic byproduct changing the colour of the medium to change from pink/red to yellow.

Answer:

C. the media around the Staphylococci colonies turns yellow

Explanation:

An example of a selective and differential medium is the Mannitol Salt Agar (MSA) .

The acidic byproduct of the fermentation of mannitol, causes the phenol red component in the agar to turn yellow.

Staphylococcus aureus though pathogenic will ferment mannitol.

In certain classes of antibody, the monomeric versions join to form dimers. what portions of the molecules adhere to each other

TiliK225 [7]

There are five classes of antibody.
1) IgA (immunoglobin A)
2) IgD (immunoglobin D)
3) IgE (immunoglobin E)
4) IgG (immunoglobin G)
5) IgM (immunoglobin M)

They form Y shaped antibodies. The crystallized fragment is the stalk of the Y shaped antibodies. The bond formed by this stalk will determine the form of the antibody. One Y is called monomer, two connected Ys are called dimers, and 5 connected Ys are called pentamers.
