Answer:

A. whether the glycoproteins or capsid proteins on its surface recognize those of the host cells.

Explanation:

Virus has different surface proteins that are recognized by the receptors present on its host cell. The range of a virus is determined by the recognition of these proteins by the host cell.

The interaction between the receptor on the host cell and surface proteins on the viral capsid is important for viral genome entry in the host cell and to determine the range of the host cells.

If the surface protein of the virus is not able to bind to the receptor on any cell then the virus can not infect the cell. For example, the HIV virus infects only those cell which have CD4 receptors. So the right answer is A.

In many states, the legal limit for all bacteria present in pasteurized milk is not to exceed 20,000 CFU/mL. You have been away
zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. The formula for finding the number of colonies in a given volume is,  

CFU/ml, here CFU is the colony forming units or the number of colonies formed in a volume plated in ml × dilution

The dilution factor given in the question is 1 × 10⁻⁴ and the number of colonies given is 186. Therefore, the number of bacteria present in the given 1 ml of the milk is,  

CFU/ ml = 186 / 1 × 10⁻⁴ = 186 × 10⁴.  

Hence, the concentration of bacteria in the milk is 186 × 10⁴ CFU/ml.  

b) The limit of the bacterial concentration in the pasteurized milk is 20000 CFU/ml, however, it can be seen that the sample of the milk possess more concentration of bacteria than the desired value. Therefore, the milk is not safe to drink by Public Health Standards.

Streptomycin is extracted from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter-current staged extraction unit. The
amid [387]

Answer:

6.75l l/min

Explanation:

Streptomycin is extracted  from the fermentation broth using an organic solvent in a counter current staged extraction unit.

for 5 stage counter current staged extraction unit for streptomycin

X5 = 0.2g/l

X0 = 10.0g/l

X5/X0 = 0.02

given

Xn/X0, E, and

n = 5

A estimate of E  can be evaluated directly;

E = 1.8

= LKd/H

by substituting the given values; Kd = 40, H= 150l/min

then we have,

L;L = 1.8(150)/40

= 6.75l l/min

Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule. why? select all that apply.
aleksley [76]

Cyclopropane is a highly strained molecule because the conformations of the cycloalkanes are influenced by the torsional, angle strain, and steric strain. Cycloalkanes, which comprises more than three atoms of carbons are not flat molecules, they are puckered.  

The three and four-membered ring components exhibit angle strain and minimize the internal bond angles. The angle strain is generated when the bond angles deviate from the optimum tetrahedral angle, that is, 109.5 degree.  

Torsional strain is a resultant of eclipsing interactions, and steric strain is attained when the atoms are forced too close to each other.

Travka [436]

Answer:

C. Slide A, plant cells; Slide B, animal cells

Explanation:

The slide A has some organelles that are unique to plant cells, and are mostly found in plant cells. Organelles such as a cell wall and chloroplasts are unique features of plant cells. They are normally absent in animal cells.

Therefore, slide A, which has these cell organelles can be rightly labelled as "plant cells", while side B, which has these organelles missing, can be labelled as "animal cells".
