Which statement BEST explains why large predators, such as lions and leopards, are common in savanna grasslands, but are mostly

absent from desert ecosystems?
A.There is not enough biomass at lower levels of the food chain in deserts for large predators to be supported.
B.Biomass is passed through the food chain at a much higher rate of efficiency in grasslands, allowing large predators to exist.
C.There are no scavengers in deserts, but many in savannas, and this allows materials to cycle fast enough to support predators.
D.The 10% rule states that predators must make up 10% of the animals in ecosystems with a lot of biomass, like savanna ecosystems.

What are the ranges of colonies counts that are acceptable on a plate for a spread plate and pour plate? Why are they different?
enot [183]

Each (both large and small) colony is carefully counted (using magnifying colony counter if needed). Each colony represents a “colony-forming unit” (CFU). For accurate counts, the optimum count should be within the range of 30-300 colonies/plate. To insure a countable plate a series of dilutions should be plated.
