The cell membrane is partially permeable, which controls substances entering the epithelial cells, and hence controlling the type of food molecules that get absorbed into the bloodstream, only allowing small and dissolved food molecules into the bloodstream.

During gas exchange, the cell membrane of a single-celled organism has the same function as which organ system in humans?
victus00 [196]

During gas exchange, the cell membrane of a single-celled organism has the same function as the respiratory system in humans. The respiratory system is a biological system which is composed of specific organs and structures such as nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs that are used for gas exchange in humans. The primary function of the respiratory system is to transport oxygen into the body and to breathe out carbon dioxide, which is a waste product of cellular function

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.
