Answer:

b

Explanation:

The correct answer would be 6.4 x 10^6 cells/ul.

For 1 x 10-6 dilution, the plating factor is 10^6. To find the number of bacteria in the original sample, the plating factor is multiplied by the colony count per ul.

<em>Number of viable bacteria = plating factor x colony count/ul</em>

Since 10 ul gives 64 colonies.  1 ul will give:

         64/10 = 6.4 colonies.

Therefore, the viable bacteria in the original sample = 6.4 x 10^6 cells/ul

The correct option is b.

What causes the doldrums to be calm winds?
arlik [135]

Earth revolves around the sun, keeping doldrums stationary causes the doldrums to be calm winds. Thus, the correct option is C.

<h3>Why are the doldrums so calm?</h3>

The Intertropical Convergence Zone, also known as the doldrums or calms by sailors due to its constant lack of wind, is the area where the northeast and southeast trade winds meet. It encircles the Earth near the thermal equator, however its exact location changes with the seasons.

The sunlight beams down directly on the area around the equator, the Doldrums are caused by solar radiation from the sun. Instead of blowing horizontally, this heating causes the air to warm and climb straight up. As a result, there is little or no wind for weeks at a time.
