Answer:

The magnesium will burn until consumed entirely. There is much more oxygen available in the atmosphere than needed to consume the magnesium. Thus the magnesium is the limiting reactant because it determines the amount of product formed.

Explanation:

Mg produces less amount of MgO than O2; therefore Mg is the limiting reagent. O2 produces more amount of MgO than Mg; therefore O2 is the excess reagent.

Explanation:

Sour taste (though you should never use this characteristic to identify an acid in the lab)

Reacts with a metal to form hydrogen gas.

Ampicillin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic. (Instead of killing bacteria, it inhibits their growth.) Ramon plated bacteria transf

love history [14]

Answer:

A) That resistance in bacteria is produced due to inactivation of ampicillin by the beta lactamase enzyme. This enzyme is expressed by the bla gene found in the plasmid. This enzyme is secreted into the culture medium, thereby inactivating ampicillin. Thanks to this inactivation, the bacteria colonies will be able to develop. After a day of incubation, only those bacteria that took the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin will grow after transformation. After prolonged incubation, two types of colonies can be observed in the culture medium. One large colony with ampicillin resistance, and another small colony, both of which are sensitive to ampicillin.

B) Large colonies are characterized by being resistant to ampicillin. When Ramón isolates the plasmid, he will have the gene that provides resistance to antibiotics. Said plasmid can be used again on those bacteria that are sensitive to ampicillin.

On the other hand, satellite colonies are sensitive to ampicillin. These types of colonies do not have the plasmid that contains the gene that gives ampicillin resistance. It is not possible to isolate any plasmids from these satellite colonies. These satellite bacteria will not be able to grow if they are transferred to a plate containing fresh ampicillin, while large colonies, which possess the plasmid that gives them resistance to ampicillin, will be able to grow on that plate.
