Answer:

1a. 1:10

1b. 4.6×10¹³

2a. 15generations

2b. 327,680

Explanation:

10 fold serial dilution means 1ml of stock is mixed in 9ml distilled water. This is called as 10⁻¹ solution.

In this way, take 1ml each of every dilution and mix in 9ml distilled water to make 10⁻², 10⁻²-------10⁻⁸ dilutions.

Now, CFU/ml = no. of colonies × dilution factor/ volume of sample plated.

The following tests can determine the mineral in a rock specimen:

1. How does the rock crumble or split under pressure?

2. What is the texture of the rock?

3. Observing it under a magnifying lens.

4. Determine the color of the rock



Test 1 and 3 determines if the rock is granular and the types of grains in the rock. Test 3 also determines if the rock has layers hence sedimentary rock.

Determining whether color of the rock is dark or light also helps identify the mineral and type of rock.
