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.

Why are air spaces located near the lower surface of the leaf?
Sauron [17]
  The air spaces occur in Spongy mesophyll tissue.There are large spaces in a leaf because it is for storing water and carbon dioxide which will be used for photosynthesis. The large air spaces are usually found in the spongy layer of the mesophyll. The arrangement of this spongy mesophyll facilitates the movement of gases through the mesophyll. Directly beneath each stomate at the leaf surface there is usually a small air space, called a stomatal chamber, where no mesophyll cells are present. This also aids in gas exchange.
