Fullerenes (like the one shown) are made up of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms (like in graphite or graphene) and alternating pe

ntagonal and heptagonal carbon rings to allow curvature of the surface producing molecules that have a complete hollow shape.
The extremely small diameter of the nanoparticle fullerenes (which act like a cage) allows them to readily pass through cell membranes and be readily absorbed into the body.

What potential benefit does this have in the pharmaceutical industry as well as medicine?




A)
The very small fullerene molecules would keep cancer cells from invading other healthy cells. As a result, it would keep cancer from spreading.




B)
The very small fullerene molecules could allow surgeons to see the insides of cells with tiny cameras as they perform complex surgery.




C)
The very small fullerene molecules could obstruct hazardous chemicals from getting into absorbed into cells.




D)
The very small fullerene molecules could easily deliver drugs directly into cells in a highly controlled manner.

Describe how you could use two LB/agar plates, some E. coli, and some ampicillin to determine how E. coli cells are affected by
KiRa [710]

Answer:

For this experiment we are going to take plate 1 as the control plate, so, in it there will be just E. coli in LB/agar; in plate 2, we are going to put E. coli in LB/agar and some ampicillin.  Then, we have to wait for the E. coli colonies to form. After a while, the E. coli growth can be compared on both plates and determine if ampicillin affects or not the E. coli colonies.

Explanation:

If the ampicillin affects negatively E. coli colonies, we are going to observe that in plate 1 (control plate) there are E. coli colonies growing, but in plate 2, there is no E. coli colonies or, at least, there is a fewer number of colonies on it. If ampicillin doesn't affect E.coli, plate 1 (control) and plate 2 (ampicillin experiment) are going to be similar in number of colonies.
