Explanation:

All living organisms need nutrients to survive. While plants can obtain nutrients from their roots and the energy molecules required for cellular function through the process of photosynthesis, animals obtain their nutrients by the consumption of other organisms. At the cellular level, the biological molecules necessary for animal function are amino acids, lipid molecules, nucleotides, and simple sugars. However, the food consumed consists of protein, fat, and complex carbohydrates. Animals must convert these macromolecules into the simple molecules required for maintaining cellular function. The conversion of the food consumed to the nutrients required is a multistep process involving digestion and absorption. During digestion, food particles are broken down to smaller components, which are later absorbed by the body. This happens by both physical means, such as chewing, and by chemical means.

One of the challenges in human nutrition is maintaining a balance between food intake, storage, and energy expenditure. Taking in more food energy than is used in activity leads to storage of the excess in the form of fat deposits. The rise in obesity and the resulting diseases like type 2 diabetes makes understanding the role of diet and nutrition in maintaining good health all the more important.

One g of fecal matter was suspended in 99 ml saline solution (tube 1). After mixing gently but thoroughly, one ml from tube 1 wa

Answer: the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample is C = 3.0 × 10^3

Explanation:

We know that; Gram negative bacteria looks  pale reddish in color under a light microscope from Gram staining.

therefore

There are 30 red bacterial colonies counted.

1 mL of from tube 1 was removed and added to tube with 99 mL saline (tube 2) dilution is 1/100.

transferred volume  into the plate is 1 mL.

Now, we have to determine the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample

Formula to calculate CFU/g bacteria in fecal sample is expressed as;

C = n/(s×d )

where C is concentration (CFU/g) , n is number of colonies , s is volume transferred to plate , d is dilution factor.

so we substitute

C = 30 / ((1/100) × 1)

C = 30 / 0.01

C = 3000

C = 3.0 × 10^3

THERFERE, the cfu/g Gram-negative bacteria in the fecal sample is C = 3.0 × 10^3
