It helps us find the specific location on the earth.
Answer:
The constant motion of particles in a gas allows a gas to fill a container of any shape or size. Particles in a gas are in constant, random motion. The motion of one particle is unaffected by the motion of other particles unless the particles collide.
In liquid media or broth difference between dry and wet will give biomass of the Epulopiscium.
Explanation:
Biomass of bacteria can be measured by dry or wet mass. Bacteria numbers can be counted by spread plate method under the microscope.
In solid media the colonies obtained are diluted and number of cells will be seen by plate count method or on automated cell counter. The number would help calculate biomass
The biomass will be calculated by measuring wet and dry mass. Equipments required will be:
hydraulic gravity convection oven and centrifugation set up.
A cellulose acetate filter membrane is used which is 47 mm in diameter and 0.45 micron of pore size.
The cells grown settles down due to gravity. They are stirred to evenly spread in the broth and is kept in centrifuge.
The cells obtained after centrifugation will be taken and wet weight is obtained.
To obtain dry weight the cells are placed in oven for 6 hours to 24 hours. The resultant cells are weighed and dry weight obtained.
Biomass will be calculated by subtracting the wet mass to dry mass. This way biomass is obtained in epulopisicuium. Here the cells will be of different size so on centrifugation 2 or more phases of cells can be seen due to gravity change.
Answer:
Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".
The windward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that the wind blows into. This side is where all the rain tends to be because of the air cools as it rises, making clouds. The opposite side is called the leeward side. This is where the air sinks, leaving the side much more warm and dry.
