<h2>Gelatin </h2>

Explanation:

Gelatin is a differential medium which tests the ability of an organism to produce an exoenzyme, called gelatinase (this enzyme hydrolyzes gelatin)

When gelatin is at a temperature below 32°C (or within a few degrees thereof), it is a semisolid material and at temperatures above 32°C, it is a viscous liquid

When gelatin is broken down, it can no longer solidify and if an organism can break down gelatin, the areas where the organism has grown will remain liquid even if the gelatin is refrigerated

No the conclusion by student is not right because the tube must be runny after incubation followed by refrigeration to be considered gelatinase positive

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

All cells exhibit basic structural similarities. The general plan of cellular organization varies between different organisms, but despite these modifications, all cells resemble one another in certain fundamental ways. Match each description with a feature. separates contents of cell from surroundings made up of contains sugars, salts, and amino acids contains prokaryotic DNA contains eukaryotic DNA matrix?

1. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells both has a nucloid/nucleus, organelles, cell membrane, contains ribosomes, has cytoplasm

2. Nucleus; contains eukaryotic DNA

3; Nucloid; contains prokaryotic DNA

4; Cytoplasm; semi fluid matrix, contains sugars salt and amino acids

Explanation:

The cell from latin cella, meaning "small room" is the basic structural, functional and biological units of all known organisms. A cell is the smallest units of life and they are often called the building blocks of life the study of cell is called cytology. cells contains cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane which contains many biomolecules such as potein and nucleic acids. most plants and animal cells are only visible under a microscope with dimensions between 1 and 100 micrometers.

ZWhat Organelle that conducts respiration for the cell
baherus [9]

Answer:

The organelle that conduct respiration for the cell is MITOCHONDRIA.

Explanation:

The cells of living organisms are made up of different organelles, each of the organelles have specific functions, which they perform. The mitochondria is the cell organelle that is responsible for carrying out respiration in the cells. Respiration involves the breaking down of glucose molecules in order to produce energy in form of ATP. Mitochondria is also called the power house of the cell because of its function of energy production.

<span>Which storm is likely to cause quick destruction along a narrow path?
</span>
<span>A.tornado
B.hurricane
C.thunderstorm

Your answer would be a A.Tornado


</span>
<span>Which clouds are best associated with a thunderstorm?
A.high cumulonimbus
B.towering funnel clouds
C.swirling clouds with a calm center</span>
Thunderstorms occur in association with a type of cloud known as a cumulonimbus. So, <span>A.high cumulonimbus


 </span>
<span>Which statement best describes the formation of a hurricane?
A.Air pressure differences over the ocean cause fast, spinning winds.
B.An updraft of warm, moist air builds a cumulonimbus cloud.
C.A downdraft of air meets spinning updrafts.
</span>
Hurricanes begin as tropical storms over the warm moist waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans near the equator. As the moisture evaporates it rises until enormous amounts of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere.
<span>A.Air pressure differences over the ocean cause fast, spinning winds.

</span>
<span>How are hurricanes and thunderstorms similar?
A.Both cover an area as large as 650 km.
B.Both involve the formation of large cumulonimbus clouds.
C.Both form when warm air rises, then cools quickly to form clouds.</span>

Hurrica<span>nes  and thunderstorms are both convective storms fueled by warm, moist air. </span><span>C.Both form when warm air rises, then cools quickly to form clouds.

</span><span>Is this statement true or false?
Hurricanes are classified by three stages in which updrafts of air billow up, updrafts and downdrafts swirl the wind up and down, then downdrafts cause clouds to come apart.
A.True
B.False

This would be true

</span>
<span>Which severe weather condition forms over warm, tropical areas?

A. tornado
B. hurricane
C. thunderstorm
</span>
Thunderstorms result from the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air. They can occur inside warm, moist air masses and at fronts. As the warm, moist air moves upward, it cools, condenses, and forms cumulonimbus clouds that can reach heights of over 12.45 miles.

Hurricanes develop in warm, tropical regions where the water is at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit  The storms also require moist air and converging equatorial winds.

A tornado can form where winds blow at different speeds causing rotation which can tighten and speed into a funnel cloud if caught in the flow of air moving into the storm. Rain and hail can cause the funnel to bend downward.

<span>B. hurricane is your answer


Hope it helped :)
