What is another name for a liquid growth media, what are the basic components? - correct answer Nutrient broth. The basic components are sugar, amino acids, and vitamins. What is selective media? - correct answer Selective media is when you only allow certain microbes to grow while restricting the growth of the other microbes. What is differential media? - correct answer ...

What is cellular metabolism? - correct answer Metabolism is a controlled set of biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life What is the primary function of enzymes, and how are they regulated? - correct answer Enzymes speed up chemical reactions. Most notably, the enzyme is not consumed during the reaction and can be used repeatedly by the cell. Enzymes can also be ...

Define the concept of universal precautions. - correct answer Universal precautions means any and all samples, whether known or unknown, are to be treated as potentially hazardous (or pathogenic) materials. List at least 3 observations a researcher would be sure to note while assessing an unknown microbial sample. - correct answer A lab researcher would be certain to note: 1. Size and shape 2. Any ...

Microbiology is the study of what? - correct answer Microbiology is the study of microbes (microorganisms and viruses) and their biological processes. What is the smallest biological unit of life - correct answer cell What is a macromolecule? - correct answer A macromolecule is classified as a complex molecule that is composed from smaller subunits. ...

True or False: A virus is considered a microorganism - correct answer false what is the smallest biological unit of life? - correct answer cell At a generalized level, all cells are comprised of what? - correct answer macromolecules Animalia, plantae, Fungi, and protista are all classification under what type of organism? - correct answer ...

True or false: metabolism is a controlled set of biochemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. - correct answer True True or false: enzymes slow down chemical reactions to conserve energy - correct answer false, they speed up (catalyze) chemical reactions The term for metal ions that assist enzymes during the catalysis reaction - correct answer ...

A nanometer is defined as: - correct answer 10 -9 or one-billionth of a meter True or False: A nanometer is longer than a micrometer - correct answer False A nanometer is 1000x smaller than a micrometer Resolution and contrast are two critical factors that influence your ability to see an object. Explain each. - correct answer Resolution refers to ...

True/False. A virus is considered a microorganism. - correct answer False True or False: The smallest biological unit of life is the molecule. - correct answer False At a generalized level, all cells are comprised of what? - correct answer Macromolecules A student may also answer: Proteins, Lipids, Nucleic acids and Polysaccharides but they must a...
