Answer:
D. Serial dilution followed by a colony forming units calculation.
Explanation:
The best way to count bacterial cells such as Salmonella accurately is through serial dilution and calculation of colony forming units.
Serial dilution is made using a petri dish containing appropriate culture medium for Salmonella growth. In this petri dish, with the help of an inoculation loop, the suspension containing the Salmonella will be scratched in the middle of the petri dish. Then, the inoculation loop will be passed over the salmonella streaks and will be dragged to the other side of the plate, where the loop will be scratched halfway through this space. The inoculation loop should again pass over the new salmonella streaks and be dragged through the rest of the petri dish. Then one must wait for the bacterial colonies to grow inside the plate.
Once these colonies are grown, those that appear in isolation will be counted through a specific calculation for the count of salmonella colonies.
Answer:
Independent variable: Planting depths of seeds
Dependent variable: plant height
Explanation:
Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter changes or manipulates in order to bring about a measurable response. In this experiment involving the planting of radish seeds at varying depths, the DEPTH AT WHICH THE SEEDS ARE PLANTED is the independent variable.
Dependent variable is the variable that is measured in an experiment. It is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the HEIGHT of the radish plants measured is the dependent variable.
<span>Traction
The question pretty much defines the term "traction" as used in orthopedic medicine. There are two main types of traction, skin traction and skeletal traction. If traction is used, it is generally used in conjunction with some other form of treatment.</span>
