nna is training to be a cell culture technician. She uses some sterile distilled water to wasg a batch of cell culture plates. When she looks at the cell culture plates under the microscope to check the cells after this, she notices the cell have burst. She realizes she should have used 0.9% saline instead. Explain what has happened, and why she should have used the saline.

In order to do electron microscopy the samples had to be specially prepared. Were the cells alive at the time of viewing? Explain why you said yes or no I need help answering this queshtion the answer is with the article and it has to be as short as possible URL: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC106848/
Steven is a lab research assistant. He mixed 25 µL of cells with 50 µL of cell culture media in tube-A, then transferred 10 µL to the hemocytometer and started counting cells, then realized the cells were too crowded to count accurately, so Steven took an aliquot of 20 µL cells of cells from tube-A and mixed with 180 µL of cell culture media, transferred 10 µL onto the hemocytometer, and countered 500 cells from the squares on the four corners of the hemacytometer. What is the # of cells per mL? Please show all calculation steps.
You have 1 ml of kombucha. You remove 0.1 ml of this and mix it with 9.9 ml of fresh tea. You mix the second tube, then remove 1 ml of this mixture and add it to 9 ml of fresh tea. You then mix this, and remove 0.1 ml of this solution, and plate it. The next day, you return to find 362 colonies. What was the concentration of the cells in the original mix? Show your calculations. My professor worked this problem out in class but she used a different method than that from the Khan academy videos on youtube and I am getting lost in the steps. Do you mind labeling?
In a plate count, 1 mL of culture is spread on a plate and incubated for 24 hours. 250 colonies are counted. Answer the question below. there were _____cells in the 1 mL of culture that was spread on the plate. If the culture was diluted 1:100 prior to plating, how many cells were there per mL in the original culture? _________
There are two cultures of yeast cells in the pictures, one has been incubated for 6 hours and one has been incubated for 24 hours. After a 10x dilution by taking 100µl of each culture and adding it to 900 µl water in a microcentrifuge tube and 100µl sample from the tube was taken to view in the counting chamber. a) Count the total number of yeast cells for each culture respectively b) Calculate the concentration and density of yeast cells for each culture respectively
Why is the plate count method a determination of the number of viable cells?
You are doing a viable cell count for a culture of E. coli you are growing in a flask. The volume of media in the flask is 1L. You took an aliquot directly from the media and diluted it using trypan blue. Here are the numbers that you get: squares counted: 4 total cells counted: 988 total viable cells counted: 960 THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS: What is your cell viability? What is the total number of viable cells in your flask? Show all work. Given: Cell Viability = Viable Cells/Total Cells Cells/mL = Total Viable Cells/Coners Counted x 10,000 x Dilution factor
Please written by computer source 1. We want two T-75 flasks, each with 200,000 cells in the flask that holds 20 mL of culture medium per flask. Hemocytometer counting of cells in a 1 mm sq2 area gave an average of 12 cells from a 1:9 dilution of the cell suspension. a.) Determine the cells/mL. b.) What is the volume of your cell suspension needed to make the flasks? c.) How you would now make the flasks as a new subculture of cells for incubation?
A lab technologist calibrates her microscope and finds that 7 stage divisions are equal to 38 ocular divisions. The entire scale on the stage micrometer is 1 mm long and has 100 equal divisions. The technologist measures a coccus-shaped cell and determines that the cell is 4 ocular divisions in length. What is the length of this cell in µm? Show all calculations.
What is the biological benefit(s) to the organism to have detachment induced cell death? Please explain as much as possible (at least 5 sentences)
Assume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. c) After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred Provide a description of the procedure to prepare an acidic stain of bacteria using Nigrosin as it would appear in the Methods section.
If the 1-mL sample had been added to 99 mL of diluent to make the first dilution (instead of 9 mL), how many cells would be in that particular dilution?
