Answer:
A serial dilution and the following plating experiment is done in order to determine the actual amount of bacteria/microbes in a specific volume of soil sample. As a standard test, a set volume of the lower dilution is obtained and positioned on a median plate and permitted to increase for the needed amount of time. The amount of colonies is evaluated and thus the overall Colony Forming Units (CFU) is determined by unit volume of the sample plated and therefore the volume of soil sample employed.
Therefore,
The calculation is done using:
CFU/ml = Number of colonies appeared × dilution factor / volume plated
Given,
Number of colonies appeared = 97
dilution factor = 10^(-6)
volume plated = 1/10 = 0.1
This will help us calculate it as:
CFU/ml = 97 * 10^(-6) / 0.1
= 97 * 10^(-7) CFU/ml
This CFU/ml helps determine the amount of bacterial colonies per unit volume of sample plated.
Given,
The original sample as 1g or 1000 mg of soil in its total volume.
Therefore,
The number of bacteria can be calculated using:
Amount of bacteria in original sample
= 97 * 10^(-7) CFU/ml × 1/ 1000 mg
= 9.7 * 10^(-3) CFU/mg
The three scientific principles of sustainability are: (1) dependence on solar energy, (2) Biodiversity, and (3) chemical cycling.
dependence on solar energy - the energy imparted to the earth system by the sun. The sun warms the planet and provides energy that plants use to produce nutrients. The sun also powers indirect forms of solar energy such as wind and flowing water.
biodiversity -
Answer: There is no diagram but I had this on a test last week. The answer is the gray and pink boats experienced the strongest force because they are both more massive than the orange boat, and they all changed speed by the same amount.
