EMB agar is a medium used in the identification and isolation of pathogenic bacteria. It contains digested meat proteins as a so

urce of organic nutrients. Two indicator dyes, eosin, and methylene blue inhibit the growth of gram-positive bacteria and distinguish between lactose fermenting and non-lactose fermenting organisms. Lactose fermenters form a metallic green or deep purple colonies, whereas the non-lactose fermenters form completely colorless colonies. EMB agar is an example of which of the following?
a. a selective medium onlyb. a differential medium onlyc. a selective medium and a chemically defined mediumd. a selective medium, a differential medium, and a complex medium

Answer:

a selective medium, a differential medium, and a complex medium

Explanation:

EMB Agar (Eosin Methylene Blue Agar) is both a selective and differential culture medium that slightly inhibits Gram-positive bacteria and can be used to distinguish bacteria capable of fermenting lactose from those that are unable to ferment this disaccharide. This medium is commonly used for isolation and differentiation of coliforms (i.e., bacteria found in the soil and water samples) and fecal coliforms (bacteria found in the gut and feces samples). In EMB agar, lactose-fermenting-gram-negative bacteria (e.g., <em>E. coli</em>) will form colored colonies, while non-lactose-fermenting-gram-negative bacteria will form colorless colonies (e.g., <em>Salmonella</em>). EMB agar is composed of lactose, gelatin, methylene blue dye and eosin Y dye ( a xanthene dye) .

Fireflies emit flashes of light because of chemical reactions, which occur in their abdomens. The rate of the chemical reactions
damaskus [11]

Since the rate of flashing depends on the rate of reaction, it means that fireflies will flash slower during cold weather.

<h3>How does temperature affect rate of reactions?</h3>

Temperature affects the rate of reaction such that reactions are faster at high temperatures and slower at low temperatures.

Thus, since the rate of flashing in fireflies depends on the rate of reaction, cold temperature means that the rate of flashing will be low as compared to warm temperature.

In other words, fireflies will flash lower during cold weather and vice versa.

State the meaning of the red blood cell count, percentage of reticulocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, and
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Red blood cell count is a diagnostic blood test used to determine the amount of red blood cells an individual has.

Percentage of reticulocytes refers to the amount of immature red blood cells one has.

Hemoglobin is the protein component of red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen.

Hematocrit is the proportion of red blood cells in the total volume of blood.

Mean corpuscular volume refers to the mean volume of red cells within an organism.

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration refers the intracellular hemoglobin count.

Explanation: Anemia is a condition that is characterized by a reduced total hemoglobin count or number of red blood cells. Anemia can be classified according to various factors that include pathophysiology, that is the factors surrounding the onset of the condition or by cell size, which  refers to mean corpuscular volume (MCV) or by the amount hemoglobin, which is referred to as the mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH). The diagnosis of anemia is dependent on red blood cell counts which encompass reticulocyte, platelets and leukocyte counts. Critical blood counts that look at MCV and MCH are a disgnostic feature for the various types of the condition. A high reticulocytes percentage is often associated with anemia.

How can sickle cell disease<br> sufferers inherit sickle cell?
aleksklad [387]

hi!

If 2 parents are carrying sickle cell with them, if there child receives 1 different copy from each of the parents, they have sickle cell. but those  parent's who are carrying the sickle cell do not get it, they can only pass it down. So if a child gets a Sickle cell gene (S), and a sickle cell gene (A) they get sickle cell.
