The decimal reduction time (DRT) to kill 90% of cell present for autoclaving a culture is 1.5 minutes. How long would it take to

kill all the cells if 106 cells were present? What would happen if you stopped the heating process at 9 minutes?

Answer:

10.5minutes

Explanation:

DRT = 90%

Cells present = 10^6

Autoclaving = 1.5 minutes

Solution:

10^6(1.5)10^5(1.5)10^4(1.5)10^3(1.5)10^2(1.5)10^1(1.5)10^0(1.5)0=10.5

it would take it approximately 10.5 minutes to kill 10^6 of the cells.

If i should stop the heating process at 9 minutes this would have effect on some of the microbes as they are still present with 1 bacterium left which makes it not efficient.

What is one way during the G0 phase that a mistake during the cell cycle could result in problens for the G0 phase?​
Mrac [35]
The G0 phase (G sub zero) or the zero of G is a period of the cell in which it remains in a vegetative state. The G0 phase is seen as a distinct and quiet stage that occurs outside the cell cycle. This phase is related to the "Post-Mitotic" state because they are in a non-dividing phase outside of the cell cycle; some cell types (such as neurons and heart muscle cells) when they reach maturity (that is, when they are terminally differentiated) become post-mitotic (enter the G0 phase), and perform their main functions for the rest of the life of the organism. Poly-nucleated muscle cells that do not undergo cytokinesis are often considered G0 phase cells.

Question: What are the effects of fishing on the reef ecosystem?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Additionally, certain types of fishing gear can inflict serious physical damage to coral reefs, sea grass beds, and other important marine habitats. Coral reef fisheries, though often relatively small in scale, may have disproportionately large impacts on the ecosystem if conducted unsustainable.

Adenine in DNA is complementary to
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

DNA is also called deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of two chains which wind around each other to form a double helix model. The 2 DNA strands are also called polynucleotides and they are made up of monomeric units known as nucleotides. These nucleotides are made up of one of four nitrogen-containing nucleobases: cytosine, guanine, adenine and thymine, a phosphate group, and sugar known as deoxyribose.  

Nitrogen bases present on the two separate polynucleotides strands are bound together with the help of base pairing (such as adenine with Thymine) and with hydrogen bonds to form double-stranded DNA.

So, adenine in DNA is complementary to thymine.

How do you calculate magnification on a light microscope?
aniked [119]

Answer:

In order to ascertain the total magnification when viewing an image with a compound light microscope, take the power of the objective lens which is at 4x, 10x or 40x and multiply it by the power of the eyepiece which is typically 10x.
