5 0

Explanation:

Fracking is the introduction of substances into a formation in order to increase they pore pressure and to increase natural drive of hydrocarbons.

Fracking has several environmental issues associated with it;

  • Fracking leads to air pollution in case of blowout of gas pressure in formations, particles and dusts can become blasted into the environment.
  • Proppants in fluids channeled into formations can lead to ground water contamination.
  • In areas where fracking is done, there might be an exposure to harmful chemicals.
  • Destruction of the natural habitats of animals.

How many times larger is the number of Hydrogen atoms than Oxygen atoms in a disaccharide?
WARRIOR [948]

There are twice the number of Hydrogen atoms than Oxygen atoms in a disaccharide.

<h3>Disaccharides</h3>
  • Disaccharides are carbohydrate compounds containing two monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic bonds

Examples of disaccharides include sucrose and maltose.

  • The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms in a carbohydrate is always a 2:1.

For example, the formula of sucrose is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁

> The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen atoms is 2;1

Therefore, there are twice the number of Hydrogen atoms than Oxygen atoms in a disaccharide.

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.

What type of cell undergoes meiosis
gayaneshka [121]

In multicellular plants and animals, however, meiosis is restricted to the germ cells, where it is key to sexual reproduction. Whereas somatic cells undergo mitosis to proliferate, the germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (the sperm and the egg).
