Answer:

Usually landslides occur after a heavy rain fall because the soil becomes soft and the soil will begin to fall. Landslides can also occur after an earthquake because it would loosen the soil making it also easy to fall.

How does water's specific heat relate to its usefulness for life give examples?
RideAnS [48]
<span>Water covers around 70% of the Earth's surface and its high specific heat plays a very important role as it is able to absorb a lot of heat without a significant rise in the temperature. When temperatures decrease, the heat which is stored is released, restraining a rapid drop in temperature. The combined effect of these processes is a buffering of temperature on the Earth.</span>

A grad student has a culture of E. coli with a total volume of 1,800 mL, and OD reading at 550 nm of 1.7. He transfers 1 mL cult
Naily [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We'll represent the dilution as the volume transferred/total volume in the tube after transfer. So for the first dilution, 1 ml of culture was added into 9ml of broth bringing the total volume to 10 ml i.e 1/10

For the second dilution, 0.1 mL was added to 0.9mL of broth bringing the total volume to 1mL i.e 0.1/1.0 (this is also the same as 1/10). In relation to the stock culture, this is represented as 1/100 (that is 1/10 (first dilution) * 1/10 (second dilution)

Giving that the same was done for dilution 3 and 4,

third dilution is represented as: 1/10 and the fourth as 1/10 as well

In relation to the stock, dilution 3 is 1/1000

dilution 4 is 1/10000

a. the dilution in the third tube is \frac{1}{1000} = 10^{3 or 1.0*10^{3}

b. the dilution spread onto the agar plate is the fourth dilution, that is, \frac{1}{10000} = 10^{4} or 1.0*10^{4}

c. Since the grad student got 386CFU/0.2mL (200 uL = 0.2mL),

the cells in 1mL is: 386/0.2 = 1930 = 1.93 * 10^{3}

the cells in 1800mL is therefore 1930*1800 = 3,474,000 = 3.4*1010^{6}
