B. No motility.
OC. Motility.
OD. It is a mixed culture.

- The Half-life of Pennies Lab Can you use pennies to demonstrate "decay? Imagine existing more than 5,000 years and still having more than 5,000 to go! That is exactly what the unstable element carbon-14 does. Carbon-14 is a special unstable element used in the absolute dating of material that was once alive, such as fossil bones. Every 5,730 years, half of the carbon-14 in a fossil specimen decays or breaks down into a more stable element. In the following lab you will see how pennies can show the same kind of "decay." Materials • 100 pennies • large container with a cover Procedure a. Place 100 pennies in a large, covered container. Shake the container several times and remove the cover. Carefully empty the container on a flat surface, making sure the pennies don't roll away. b. Remove all the coins that have the "head" side of the coin turned upward. Record the number of pennies removed and the number of pennies remaining in the data table below.

- Which one of the following statement is correct for negative feedback? Select one: a. In some cases, negative feedback systems carry the mechanism for their own destruction without being fatal to the organism, but to a part of the organism. b. Negative feedback can move the control parameter to a value outside that normally maintained by positive feedback. c. In a negative feedback a molecular reaction can have such a large drop in free energy that the reaction is essentially irreversible. d.

Plants capture the energy when growing, and then through a long process of decay and compression this plant matter is converted into a fossil fuel. An interesting question is how much sunlight is needed to produce a quantity of petrol. To estimate this, let's assume the petrol has come from wood, and let's assume we have a fast-growing wood source such as Pinus radiata. Assume also: a mature tree contains around 3 m3 of timber; a tree is harvested when 35 years old; the density of wood is around 500 kg/m3; 2 kg of wood makes 1L of petrol; a tree receives on average 8 hours of sunlight per day. How many "hours of sunlight" are stored in 1L of petrol? i.e. how many hours of sunlight does a tree need to be exposed to, to produce the amount of wood needed to make 1 L of petrol? Give your answer to two significant figures.arrow_forward
