Stella wants to test the hypothesis “If carbon dioxide levels increase, the growth rate of sunflowers will increase.” She places five young sunflower plants into similar containers and sets up pumps that release different amounts of carbon dioxide into each container. She plans to measure the daily height of the plants for two weeks and graph the data. Which additional considerations would produce the most reliable experimental results?

A. She should also provide mist to each of the plants to keep the air moist and fertilize the plants. She should record her data in a bar graph for easy analysis.

B. She should increase her sample size to 50 plants and place them all in the same area. The plants receiving less CO2 should be given a little more water.

C. She should be sure to give all the flowers the same amount of water. She should make observations twice a day for four weeks for better results.

D. She should place one flower in a similar container, but not pump carbon dioxide into it. She should also give each plant the same amount of water.

For your initial isolation of the bacterium, you simply needed to grow enough of it that you could identify some of its more general features. thus, you used a complex nutrient agar that would allow for the growth of almost any bacterial species. different bacterial species often have very specific requirements for life. this is a fact that you can utilize when you are trying to identify the bacterium to the species level. growth conditions that will permit the growth of one species but not another may allow you to select which one you would like to culture. you can utilize different selective/differential media that allow for the growth of only one type of bacteria (e.g., either gram positive or gram negative). culturing media such as phenylethyl alcohol or sodium chloride agar will be selective/differential for gram-positive bacteria. you may also want to show that it is different from other bacteria that may be present, so you could use a selective/differential agar. selective/differential media such as blood agar or phenol red sugar broths allow for the determination of whether a bacterial cell can grow and utilize specific ingredients included in the medium and turn the agar a distinct color. sheep's blood agar utilizes red blood cells to differentiate which bacterial species may have hemolytic properties.selective or differential? 1. an agar that uses a high salt concentration to limit the growth of one type of bacteria over another would be considered selective/differential. 2. if an agar contains a dye or ph indicator in the presence of a sugar, it is generally considered selective/differential for those bacteria that may ferment the sugar over those that cannot. 3. an agar that uses the dye in crystal violet agar suppresses the growth of gram-positive bacteria. this agar would be considered selective/differential. 4. the selective/differential aspect of macconkey agar allows for the determination of which bacteria are lactose fermenters and which are not. 5. a blood agar plate contains sheep red blood cells and allows for the determination of hemolytic capabilities for all bacteria that grow on the agar. this would make this type of agar selective/differential. 6. emb agar uses lactose and two dyes that allow it to be selective/differential between the blue-black colonies of e. coli and the pinkish colonies of all other enteric bacteria. 7. bile salts in macconkey agar allow for the agar to be selective/differential for the growth of enteric gram-negative bacteria over gram-positive bacteria. 8. an agar that allows for the distinction of bacteria based on metabolism would be considered selective/differential.

What causes the force that pushes magma from the magma chamber through the pipe and vent of a volcano?

Be in this im starting a with you so if you want you can get a partner for this. but basically im going to assign you guys a biome and you have to have a big sheet paper and you will turn it into 4 squares. the top right square is will be a drawing square for a drawing you will make of your biome. the top left square is about the biomes plants and drawings of them. the bottom left square is about the biomes animals. the bottem rights square is about the description of the biome. leave a comment or an answer and i will assign biomes. if your request one thats the one you get. send me a link to the project and i will grade ! im not a teacher btw.
