Answer:

191000 cells per millilitre

Explanation:

After incubation the plate has 191 colonies. Since each colony grows from a single cell, the plate had 191 cells.

Now only 0.1 millilitre was plated from 1 millilitre of sample hence number of cells in 1 millilitre of sample is 10 * 191 = 1910 cells.

It has been given that this sample is taken from second dilution tube of 1:10 dilution series. So total dilution here has been of 100 times. Hence, original water sample contained 1910 * 100 = 191000 cells per millilitre.

Llana [10]

Caffeine cause dose dependent prominent increase in force of contraction and period of contraction of muscle

<u>Explanation:</u>

Caffeine is widely used in foods and drinks. Its long time use can effect central nervous system include lethargy memory, sleep disorder and anxiety.

Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.  However latent period and relaxation period are unaffected by caffeine. Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.

Because of calcium ion release in skeletal muscle, caffeine causes peripheral manifestation such as hyper-reflexia, muscle twitching etc.

High amount of caffeine leads to increase in release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. It increases tension development in single tetanic contraction and re-initiate maximum tension in fatigue single myofibre by restoring Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum to non-fatigued levels.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1. Evolution can be defined as the gradual development of an organism creating diversity.

2. A common misconception is that Homosapiens are descendants of Apes.

3. analogous structures are features of different species that are similar in function, but not necessarily in structure; such as bird wings and insect wings. homologous structures, however, is an organ or bone with similar underlying anatomical features found in different animals; such as the arms of primates.

4. vestigial structures are structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor, such as wings of flightless birds.

5. Embryology supports the theory that organisms have a common ancestor in accordance to the theory of evolution.
