Answer:

Electricity is a secondary energy source that we get from the conversion of other sources of energy such as coal, natural gas, oil, nuclear power, and so on. These sources are known as “primary sources.” Primary sources can be renewable or non-renewable, but the electricity itself is neither.

When the eggs of a plant are fertilized by the pollen, the eggs become the __________ while the surrounding ovary becomes the __
Allisa [31]
<span>The eggs become the seed (first zygote), while the surrounding ovary becomes the fruit of the plant (first, the embryo). This process occurs during the fertilization of a plant and is complex in nature but happens all around us all of the time. The fruit that is developed contains one or more seeds at the end of the process.</span>

One of your lab partners has followed the recommended procedure of running Gram-positive and Gram-negative control organisms on
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Reduced in holding time of decolrization step and also used less Alcohol because decolrization step is important in Gram's staining.The decolorization step must be performed carefully. Otherwise over-decolorization may occur. This step is critical and must be timed correctly otherwise the CV stain will be removed from the Gram-positive cells. If the decolorizing agent is applied on the cell for too long time, the Gram-positive organisms to appear Gram-negative..

Explanation:

Gram' staining is a technique used in microbiology labs to differentiate between Gram's positive and negative

<u>Gram-positive bacteria :</u>Stain dark purple due to retaining the primary dye called CV in the cell wall.

<u>:Gram-negative bacteria </u>Stain red or pink due to retaining the counter staining dye called Safranin or neutral red.

There are four basic step in Gram" staining

1) Application of the Primary Stain to a Heat-Fixed Smear of Bacterial Culture

2)Addition of Gram's Iodine

3)<u>Decolorization with 95% Ethyl Alcohol:</u>Alcohol or acetone dissolves the lipid outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, thus leaving the peptidoglycan layer exposed and increases the porosity of the cell wall. The CV-I complex is then washed away from the thin peptidoglycan layer, leaving Gram-negative bacteria colorless.

On the other hand, alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria that causes the pores of the cell wall to shrink. The CV-I complex gets tightly bound into the multi-layered, highly cross-linked Gram-positive cell wall thus staining the cells purple.

The decolorization step must be performed carefully. Otherwise over-decolorization may occur. This step is critical and must be timed correctly otherwise the CV stain will be removed from the Gram-positive cells. If the decolorizing agent is applied on the cell for too long time, the Gram-positive organisms to appear Gram-negative. Under-decolorization occurs when the alcohol is not left on long enough to wash out the CV-I complex from the Gram-negative cells, resulting in Gram-negative bacteria to appear Gram-positive.

Debido a la baja cantidad de calorías que utilizamos o quemamos en un día de trabajo
Delvig [45]

Answer: Se debe a que el cuerpo lleva a cabo funciones fisiológicas vitales que requieren energía.

Explanation:

Las calorías son unidades de energía aportadas por los alimentos que consumimos a diario. Puntualmente se define la cantidad de calor necesaria para aumentar en 1 grado centígrado a la temperatura de 1 gramo de agua desde 14,5 hasta 15,5. La principal fuente de calorías en los alimentos son los hidratos de carbono, luego le siguen las grasas y proteínas.

<u>Dicha energía hallada en los alimentos, es utilizada por el cuerpo para llevar a cabo distintas funciones fisiológicas vitales e importantes para que el organismo funciones correctamente</u>, como el bombeo de sangre del corazón, funcionamiento de los riñones o el actividad del cerebro, etc. Nos referimos a esto como el metabolismo basal, el cual es el valor mínimo de energía utilizada en reacciones químicas celulares para la supervivencia del organismo. Dicho metabolismo basal depende de diversos factores tales como la edad, peso, sexo, etc. Pero también, las calorías son necesarias para distintas actividades voluntarias como caminar o levantar algún objeto.

<u>Sin embargo, la forma de energía de las calorías de los alimentos es distinta a la forma de energía necesaria para llevar a cabo estas funciones fisiológicas tanto voluntarias como involuntarias.</u> Para ello, la energía de las calorías debe de convertirse a otra forma y esto ocurre comenzando primero con la digestión de los alimentos, donde luego sus nutrientes son absorbidos en el torrente sanguíneo para luego dirigirse a las células. En las mismas, ocurre un proceso llamado respiración celular, en donde se utilizan las calorías de los alimentos para sintetizar ATP (Adenosín Trifosfato), la cual es una molécula que almacena energía utilizable por parte de las células y que eventualmente impulsará y llevará a cabo todos los procesos fisiológicos y metabólicos.

Entonces, en el caso del trabajo de una oficina en el que las personas permanecen sentadas largas horas, sin mucha actividad, <u>igualmente necesitan consumir mas de 2.000 kilocalorías diarias ya que el cuerpo debe obtener esa energía para llevar a cabo las funciones de todos los órganos para mantenerlos vivos.</u>
