Answer:

Step 1. 1:100

Step 2. 1:1000

Step 3. 1:100,000

Explanation:

At first step, 0.1 ml is diluted in 9.9 ml of saline. Multiple both with 10 you will get 1 ml in 99 ml suggesting total dilution at first step as 1:100.

At second step, 1 ml of 100x dilution will be taken and further dissolved in the 9 ml of B3. Here, the dilution factor is further 10 times therefore the total dilution would be 1:1000.

At third step, 0.01 ml would be taken from 1000x dilution and further diluted in 9.99 ml. Therefore, the dilution factor here is 100 times. Hence the final dilution at this stage would be 1:100,000.

This is the simplest explanation I can give.

Hope it helps.

What are photosynthesis and cellular respiration's equation and word equations?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer: A simple word equation that can be used to describe the process of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water —> glucose + oxygen + water. A balanced chemical equation for the process can be written as 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2. Overall, photosynthesis uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide into a carbohydrate.
