<u>Answer</u>:
1. The purpose of the uninoculated control tubes used in the oxidation fermentation test is to serve as basis of the medium for the color comparison and that it is sterile.
2. It is necessary to use two controls in order to illustrate the no color change (green color) under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
3. The purpose of the experiment is to determine if the organisms utilize the carbohydrate and thus is fermentative. This will result in a color change from green to yellow.
Thus, the medium in one tube is sealed with a layer of paraffin to prevent diffusion of oxygen. This tube will show that the medium is unaffected by the lack of oxygen.
The second tube will allow the diffusion of oxygen. This tube will show that the medium does not change color naturally in the presence of oxygen. Thus, the color changes will be caused only by the fermentation process of the organisms.
<span>Lithosphere includes all the Earth known to us: the mountains, the ground we walk on, etc. It's solid - else we would not be able to walk on it! the more inner layers of Earth are liquid, but lithosphere, the outermost layer is solid. The tectonic plates are not floating on the lithosphere - they form the lithosphere! So the correct answer is A - it is solid and composed of crust and upper mantle (outer later)</span>
Answer:
A. To reproduce
Explanation:
Cells divide in two stages: Meiosis - haploid cell division [½ number of chromosomes], and Mitosis - diploid cell division [same number of chromosomes]. Their objective is to produce offspring, which means reproduce.
I am joyous to help. Anytime.
