- 4. All the following can be autoclaved EXCEPT: a) Biological material b) Glass ware c) Radioactive material d) Broth and gel media for growing bacteria5. The autoclave raises the atmospheric pressure to _____ : a) 10 psi b) 15 psi c) 20 k joules d) 25 watts6. In the experiment with serial dilutions, the plates which should be used for the final count for colonies should have a range of _______ CFU in order to have a reliable estimate: a) <10 b)10-15 c) 15-20 d) none of the abovearrow_forwardPorous dialysis tubing is used to create a "model cell" containing glucose and albumin, a protein. This "cell" is placed into a beaker containing water and Biuret reagent. Initially the "cell" is colorless and the beaker is light blue. At the end of the experiment, the "cell" is light purple and the beaker is still light blue. What accounts for the color change observed? O Biuret reagent entered the cell and reacted with protein. Glucose exited the cell and reacted with Biuret reagent. Biuret reagent entered the cell and reacted with glucose. O Protein exited the cell and reacted with Biuret reagent.arrow_forwardIn a reproduction of an experiment famously performed by Louis Pasteur, you cultured yeast in the absence of oxygen (anaerobic growth) and measured (1) the rate of cell division, (2) the rate of glucose consumption, and (3) the intracellular ATP:ADP ratio. You then moved the cells to an incubator containing normal atmosphere (i.e., 21% oxygen), completed a second set of measurements, and made the following observations: The rate of cell division increased considerably after the addition of oxygen (aerobic growth) Glucose consumption dropped dramatically after the addition of oxygen Intracellular ATP:ADP ratios increased significantly (from 2:1 in the absence of oxygen to 10:1 in the presence of oxygen) Explain how the mitochondria in the yeast contribute to the dramatic drop in glucose utilization and increase in ATP concentrations in the presence of oxygen.arrow_forward
