Mashcka [7]3 years ago

A Petri dish (Petri plate) is a shallow cylindrical glass lidded dish that is typically used to culture microorganisms (agar plates). There are glass and plastic Petri dishes, and both can be sterilized (using an autoclave) and re-used. Before being used for culture purposes, it is important to ensure that the Petri dish is not only clean, but also sterile. This helps prevent the contamination of the new culture.Agar is a polymer made up of various sub-units of galactose and various species of red algae. Although it has other uses including culinary and dentistry, agar plays an important role in microbiology as culture media for a variety of microorganisms.As compared to some of the other alternatives like gelatin, agar has a number of advantages which include:Cannot be easily degraded by microorganism Stronger Firmer than gelatin

2.8 Code Practice: Question 1
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The program to this question can be given as:

Program:

#include <stdio.h> //define header file

int main() //define main method.

{

int a1,b1,c1; //define variable

printf("Enter three numbers:\n"); //message

scanf("%d",&a1); //input numbers.

scanf("%d",&b1);//input numbers.

scanf("%d",&c1);//input numbers.

if (a1>b1) //check condition

{

//check condition

if(a1>c1)//inner if block

{

printf("The largest number: %d", a1); //message

}

else  //inner else block

{

printf("The largest number: %d", c1);//message

}

}

else //else block

{

//check condition

if(b1>c1) //inner if block.

{

printf("The largest number: %d", b1);//message

}

else //else block

{

printf("The largest number: %d",c1);//message

}

}

return 0;  //return 0.

}

Output:

Enter three numbers:

22

44

11

The largest number: 44

Explanation:

The description of the above program can be given as:

  • In the C language program firstly we define the header file. Then we define the main function. In the main function, we define three variables that are "a1, b1 and c1". In this variable, we take input from the user.
  • Then we define the conditional statements. In the if block we check if the value of a1 is greater then the value of b1 if this condition is true so we use another condition that if the value of a1 is greater then the value of c1. so, it will print the largest value. If the above condition is not true then it will go to else section.
  • In the else part we check the condition that if the value of b1 is greater then the value of c1. if it is true it will print the largest number value.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

True on a web page such meta name will not appear in web view source and irrelevant information will be displayed.

Explanation:

Basically web page source is compiled version of HTML script so the end-user he or she tries to view pages system will show only in HTML.

so meta name information and active object information will not be displayed while viewing the web source code instead of that the irrelevant informant ions will be displayed and end-user cannot under anything out of the web source code.

Moreover, even the client side validation script also will not be displayed.

Only HTML will be displayed
