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

on vacation and left an unopened plastic jug of milk in your refrigerator. The "Sell By" date was three days ago. Instead of throwing it out, you decide to test it using your eScience Microbiology Kit. Here are your results for a "countable" plate in your serial dilutions: 186 colonies on a plate where the dilution factor was 1 x 10-4 and the volume that you plated was 1 mL. (20 points)
a. How many bacteria are present in 1 mL of this milk?
b. Is this milk safe to drink by Public Health standards?

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.

Which statement is NOT part of the Mitchell chemiosmotic hypothesis? High‑energy phosphorylated intermediates that serve as phos
gogolik [260]

Answer:

High-energy phosphorylated intermediates that serve as phosphate donors to ADP are generated as a result of electron-transfer reactions.

Explanation:

Peter Mitchell proposed Chemiosmotic hypothesis which state that the driving of the synthesis of ATP is accomplished by a proton-motive force. He propose that whenever electron is moved along the electron transfer chain then proton will be moved accross the inner part of mitochondria membrane. As a result of this there would be increase in PH of the mitochondria matrix and reduced PH of the intermembrane space.

Some Evidence about Chemiosmotic hypothesis hypothesis;

1)transportation of electron brings about the generatation of a proton gradient. there is difference in the PH on the outside and inside the mitochondria.

2)To synthesis ATP, a proton gradient is required only and other means by which PH gradient is generated

Therefore,High-energy phosphorylated intermediates that serve as phosphate donors to ADP are generated as a result of electron-transfer reactions is not Micheal Mitchell statement.

Which of the following statements gives the most fundamental reason why ornithine is unlikely to be found in proteins synthesize
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

ornithine is a non-protein and non-essential amino acid it is formed in plant by L-glutamate and in animals it is formed during the urea cycle by the catalyzation of arginine which is an enzyme. In vivo ornithine is not found in protein synthesis because it do not have any codon so it can not endoded by DNA but can be synthesized.

Ornithine is a precursor of glutamic acid, proline amino acid and citrulline amino acid

A researcher tests the hypothesis that large, daily doses of vitamin c help protect against catching the common cold. what would
photoshop1234 [79]
The best thing to do is this: 
the subjects in the experimental group should be given large, daily dose of vitamin C while the control group subjects should be given a daily dose of sugar pills that are disguised as vitamin C.
The research can then observe the differences between the two groups.
