Answer:
The lids of the Petri dishes were inadvertently left on while being sterilized
Explanation:
- The process of eliminating any microbe from a particular object to achieve a sterile aseptic environment is termed as sterilization.
- Sterilization mainly aims to either remove, kill or make any microbe inactive by using various means such as irradiation, heat, pressure, etc.
- In the given question radiation is used to sterilize the Petri dishes and thus, if sterilization is successful there should not be any contamination.
- However, since there is contamination present amongst the bacterial colonies growing on agar plated in the Petri dishes this shows that the sterilization has not been done successfully and a possible reason for this could be that while sterilizing the<em> lids of the Petri dishes were kept on. </em>
<span>The cell has 1% concentration of the salt. The external environment is highly concentrated with 25% saline solution. This will lead to release of water outside the cell, by passive diffusion from a region of high conentration of solvent to lower concentration. Thus, the cell will shrink.</span>
This is called maintaining homeostasis. The hypothalamus also maintains homeostasis in lots of other ways, such as by controlling your blood pressure. The temperature in your body, like the temperature in your home, is a balance between different cooling and heating systems.
