Both will inactivate coronaviruses by a similar mechanism of action. Describe that mechanism of action and why both chemicals are able to cause it. (Reminder: coronaviruses are "lipid envelope" viruses.) Consider the physical properties of these compounds to answer the following question: why might you choose to use a cleaning product with one of these active ingredients over the other?arrow_forwardGiven this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution?

One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…arrow_forward
- The antibiotic, tetracycline was serially diluted (2-fold dilutions), starting with tube #1 (100 µg/ml) and ending with tube #9 (tube #10 = Control). Tetracycline is a yellow powder that is freely soluble in water. To prepare the tetracycline solution, dissolve the powder in water, with heating, to make 50 mg/ml. How will you prepare the solutions for the two-fold dilution? Create a scheme on how to perform the serial dilution using the 50 mg/mL stock solution and 5 mL as final volume for each step.arrow_forwardThe highly pathogenic anaerobic bacterium Clostridium perfringens is responsible for gas gangrene, a condition in which animal tissue structure is destroyed. This bacterium secretes an enzyme that efficiently catalyzes the hydrolysis of the peptide bond indicated in red: where X and Y are any of the 20 common amino acids. How does the secretion of this enzyme contribute to the invasiveness of this bacterium in human tissues? Why does thisenzyme not affect the bacterium itself?arrow_forwardWhat is the simplest way to solve this? Please give me a step by step explanation.arrow_forward
