low solute concentration. the pressure required to stop the rupture of the semipermeable membrane. the pressure required to reverse the flow of solvent through a semipermeable membrane during osmosis. the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent from a region of low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane into a region of high solute concentration.

Answer:

the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent from a region of low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane into a region of high solute concentration.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water (solvent molecule) from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration via a semipermeable membrane.

Osmotic pressure is the pressure (force) applied to a given solvent in order to prevent it's movement via osmosis across a semipermeable membrane. Since, osmotic pressure is the pressure required to stop osmotic process, then it can be further defined as follows:

Osmotic pressure is the pressure required to stop the flow of solvent from a region of low solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane into a region of high solute concentration.

The bacterial species,<u> Listeria monocytogenes</u>, accounts for 12%-15% of infant meningitis cases.

Explanation:

Listeria monocytogenes is a group B strep gram-negative bacteria, one of the main causes of meningitis.

This species is psychrotrophic in nature which means that it can grow at low temperatures like refrigerator temperature and mostly found in areas with a temperature around 15-20 degrees Celsius.

These organisms also become psychrotolerant or psychrophiles and can grow at places where the temperature fluctuates.

This is the main reason for the spoilage of food stored in a refrigerator. So leftover baby foods, bottles stored in a refrigerator can be contaminated with these species.

When the infants ingest the contaminated food or use the bottle, they also get infected. Listeria monocytogenes cause meningitis in infants especially who are immunocompromised infants.

If we have a plate that has 2500 colonies on it, can we use this plate to calculate CFU's
AleksAgata [21]

No, the solution with bacteria in it needs to be diluted in order to be in the range of 30 – 300.

A colony-forming unit –CFU is used to estimate the number of viable (ability to divide by binary fission) microbes in a sample.  

A sample of microbes is diluted and spread on a plate. Then, the number of colonies is counted, assuming that each colony have grown from a single colony-forming unit, or CFU.

Plates with more than 300 colonies are difficult to count while those with less than 30 colonies give statistically unreliable numbers of colonies to count.
