B. Intercropping
Explanation: I personally thought that it just made sense because the prefix inter means to combine, but when I looked up intercropping it showed the definition similar to the one shown in the photo. I also looked up all the others to be completely sure and none of the others have a definition close to the one shown.
Answer:
Myelin sheath increases the speed of electrical impulse along the nerve cells.
Explanation:
Myelin sheath is an insulting layer of proteins and fatty acids that are present around the nerves of brain and spinal cord.
Myelin sheath increases the speed of conduction of nerve impulse from one nerve cell to another cell. Myelin sheath is formed by the concentric wrapping of schwann cells around the axon. This sheath decreases axonal membrane capacitance and increases the conduction of nerve impulse.
Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply. At very high light intensities, photosynthesis is slowed and then inhibited, but these light intensities do not occur in nature.
Water is the correct answer
Question is incomplete. Complete question is as follows:
You have decided to determine how many microbes are living on the lettuce in the salad bar at your favorite restaurant. You place 1 gram of lettuce and 99 mls of water in a blender and blend the mixture. This is sample A. You then transfer 1 ml of this dilution into to another that contains 9 mls of water. This becomes sample B. You next transfer 1 ml of sample B into a separate container that contains 9 mls of water. This is sample C. Next you transfer 1 ml each from samples B & C onto separate nutrient rich agar plates, swirl, let harden and incubate at 37C. When you examine the plates after 48 hours you find 110 colonies growing on plate C. How many microbes were living on that 1 gram of lettuce?
Answer:
1.1x10^6 microbes
Explanation:
When 1gm of lettuce is mixed with 99 ml of water, the microbe concentration is diluted 100 times (Sample A). 1 ml of sample A is mixed with 9ml of water to make sample B which further dilutes microbe concentration 10 times making the total dilution 1000 times. This process is repeated with sample B to make sample C increasing the dilution to 10000 times.
110 colonies are counted from this sample C. Each colony signifies a single microbe during plate counting method. So, 110 microbes were present on the plate. Original number of microbes = microbes counted * times of dilution =
110 * 10000 = 1100000 = 1.1x10^6 microbes
