Answer:The seminal vesicles produce mucus to neutralize the acidic environment of the vagina.
Explanation:
The seminal vesicles is found in male reproductive system which produces mucus that is alkaline in order to protect the sperm from the acidic environment of the female vagina . This also contain sugar to nourish the sperm.
The vargina is the outer opening of female reproductive system that receives the sperm. It is acidic in nature because it discharge fluids that contain liquid, cells and bacteria that lubricate and protect it.
Answer:
carrying capacity is how much population an environment can hold without its resources being used up/ when a Population Hits Its Limit. an example would be The Carrying Capacity of North American Deer. the Carrying Capacity of Grazing Cattle.
hope this helped!
Answer: D
Carbolic reactions breaks larger substances to smaller ones.
Anabolic reactions forms larger compounds from smaller units.
DNA synthesis does not involve breaking down of sugars.
Dehydration is a umbrella term used for reactions that releases water as a byproduct. In the case of sugars, they are held by Glycosidic bonds. To break them, hydration is needed as 1 water molecule breaks 1 glycosidic bond. The process of forming large units of sugars involves dehydration to form the glycosidic bonds. Therefore option d is wrong.
DNA guiding production of protein is definitely wrong as this process doesn't cause sugars to break down at all.
Answer:
You are interested in obtaining Staphylococcus aureus for a study investigating the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in the general population. You have received several samples and are ready to start your isolation procedures. Describe the personal protective equipment that would be needed and three different culturing techniques that can be used to obtain organisms to produce pure cultures. State if you use general or selective media and which specific media you would choose. How would you determine if the culture was contaminated? What is the first step you would take if you detected contamination?
Personal Protective equipment needed; No special precautions are necessary when working with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus aureus is a bio-safety level
Three different culturing media; to include;
- Etest Method
- Disc Diffusion
- Latex Agglutination.
Properly enriched selective media is used.
The most accurate method for identifying Merthicillin-resistant staphylococcus is to test for the presence of mecA gene by PCR.
The best specific media is latex agglutination test and oxacillin salt agar screen.
How to determine if the culture was contaminated;
It can be spotted by the turbidity of the growth medium or the floating branching mycelia, bacteria contamination can be detected under 10× microscope within few days of contamination.
Step to take if contamination is detected;
Biological contamination is a serious issue and being able to correctly identify different types of contamination is an essential first step in ensuring the safety of your culture.
Explanation:
The literature on methicillin susceptible testing is extensive, and often conflicting in recommendations regarding the most important method for routine use. this is partly because the various studies of phenotypic methods have included different strains, which may differ significantly in heterogeneity and behave differently under particular test condition.
