Question asked by Filo student

Can I get help with this question? You collect a water sample from the pond on campus to test the "bacterial load." You perform a series of 10-fold dilutions, and you plate 1 mL from each dilution on a plate. How many colony-forming units (CFUs) per mL are in the original water sample if you count 75 colonies on the 1:10,000 dilution plate?

The given pyramid shows the relative biomass of zooplankton and phytoplanton in a marine ecosystem

The biomass of the zooplanktons is higher than that of the phytoplanktons because
  1. The zooplantons convert energy more efficiently
  2. The zooplanktons have a shorter life cycle than the phytoplanktons
  3. The phytoplanktons are individually much smaller than the zooplanktons
  4. The phytoplanktons have an extremely high turnover rate

The release of carbon dioxide, which is radioactive when the acetyl CoA entering into the citric acid cycle contains all the radioactive carbons by examining the Fig. 8.7: “Citric acid cycle”, in the textbook, in the chapter “ Cellular respiration ”. Introduction: The citric acid cycle is also known as Krebs cycle or TCA (tricarboxylic acid) cycle. It was given by Hans Krebs in 1937. This cycle takes place in organisms undergoing aerobic respiration after glycolysis. In Krebs cycle, the stored energy is released from the oxidation of CoA (Acetyl-coenzyme A) that is derived from fat, proteins, and carbohydrates.
