A serial dilution is performed on a culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Brewer's yeast). A 1:10 dilution was performed in series seven times. You plated and spread 100 microliters of the fifth dilution to a YEPD agar plate to grow overnight. After incubation, you count 142 colonies on the plate. What was the viable count of the stock culture

Answers

Answer: CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Microorganisms are very small and difficult to count directly. Instead, a laboratory technique is used to count CFUs (Colony Formation Units). This involves making dilutions of a microbial suspension and spreading it on thin layers of agar containing nutrients for growth in Petri dishes also called agar plates. After incubation under ideal conditions, some plates are completely covered with microbial growth; some have little or no growth; and some are covered with individual isolated "spots", which are microbial colonies. Since a colony may consist of a single organism or a group of microbes, the dots represent a CFU.

To calculate the viable count of the stock culture, you have to count the number of colonies, multiply by the dilution and the result will be the plate count in CFU.

So, the equation is:

CFU/mL = Number of colonies / (Volume trasferred to plate x dilution blank)

100 microliters = 0.1 mililiter

1/10 = 0.1 (dilution factor)

Replacing the information from the question:

CFU/mL = 142 / (0.1 mL x 0.1)

CFU/mL = 14200 CFU/mL

Which statement correctly describes how the mitochondrial uncoupling agent valinomycin inhibits oxidative phosphorylation without collapsing the proton (H+) gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane?

a. Valinomycin carries Kt into the mitochondrial matrix, reducing the electrical component of the electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
b. Valinomycin carries Ht into the mitochondrial matrix, decreasing the mitochondrial membrane potential without generating ATP.
c. Valinomycin is a complex I inhibitor that prevents NADH oxidation and the pumping of H+ into the intermembrane space.
d. Valinomycin is an ATP synthase inhibitor that prevents H+ from moving down its concentration gradient into the matrix.

Answers

Answer:

a. Valinomycin carries Kt into the mitochondrial matrix, reducing the electrical component of the electrochemical gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Oxidative phosphorylation is a process by which cells generate ATP (the energy coin of the cells) by coupling an electrochemical potential gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane created by the electron transport chain to phosphorylation of ADP. Moreover, an ionophore is a molecule that reversibly binds ions. Ionophores are often involved in the movement of ions across the cell membrane. Valinomycin is an ionophore that mediates the transport of potassium (K+) ions down a concentration gradient, which is capable of disrupting the gradient across the membrane by modifying the K+ gradient. Valinomycin binds to K+ ions and enables them to pass more rapidly across the mitochondrial inner membrane, thereby neutralizing the excess of negative charge inside the mitochondrial matrix and thus slowing ATP synthesis.

Answers

The correct option is D.) 1, 3, and 6 because pressure is the changing factor in Gay-Lussac's Law, the constant factor in Boyle's Law, and the changing factor in Charles's Law.

Gay-Lussac's Law states that the pressure of a given quantity of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature which means the pressure of a gas increases as the temperature increases, and decreases as the temperature decreases.

Boyles Law states that the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume that means as the volume of a gas increases, the pressure of the gas decreases, and vice versa.

Charles's law is a basic physical law that states that the volume of a given amount of gas at a constant pressure is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. This means that when the temperature of a gas increases, its volume also increases, and vice versa.

Daily weather variations can have an impact on humans, their way of life, as well as animals and their environments. Tornadoes, hurricanes, and blizzards are just a few examples of the severe weather that may disrupt and wreck havoc.

In a study of the Hopi, a Native American tribe of central Arizona, Woolf and Dukepoo (1959) found 26 albino individuals in a total population of 6000. This form of albinism is controlled by a single gene with two alleles: albinism is recessive to normal skin coloration. Calculate the expected allele frequencies and genotype frequencies if the population were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. What is the allele frequency of the normal allele

Answers

Answer:

0.9342

Explanation:

The Hardy-Weinberg equation states that p² + 2pq + q² = 1,

where p is the frequency of the dominant 'normal' (n) allele and q is the frequency of the recessive 'albino' (a) allele in the population, while q² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous albino genotype (aa), p² represents the frequency of the homo-zygous normal genotype (nn) and 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (na).

In this case, the frequency of individuals in the population that have the genotype aa (q²) is equal to 26/6000 = 0.004333. In consequence, q is equal to √ 0.004333 = 0.0658.

Moreover, the allele frequency of the normal (n) allele p is equal to 1 - q = 1 - 0.0658 = 0.9342, so p² (nn) = (0.9342)² = 0.8727.  

Finally, the frequency of the heterozygous genotype (na) is 2pq = 2 x 0.9342 x 0.0658 = 0.123.

Memories of a MemoryHave you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.Which line from the text best explains the main problem with recalling details of a scene or room?
