A PhD student leaving for vacation has asked an undergraduate student to perform daily media changes forhis iPSCs while he is gone. The culture is happening in 12-well plates where a volume of 2 mL is optimal. OnSaturday, when changing the media, the undergraduate decides to add 4 ml of media to the dishes (insteadof 2 ml) because he wants to skip lab and watch the Super Bowl on Sunday. He decides to add twice thevolume of media (4 mL) to tide the cells over till Monday. However, when the graduate student returns onMonday, he finds that some of his cells have died. Your job is to determine whether the cells died due to alack of oxygen. For the calculations that follow, diffusion and reaction occurs only in one direction. Also,assume that reaction only occurs at the cell-media interface. Use Michaelis-Menten type kinetics for oxygenuptake. You may use the following information:Ps = 150 mmHg (ambient oxygen tension)K = 1.19 nmol / mL / mmHg (solubility of oxygen in medium)D = 2…

Thank you very much for your help How does each of the differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes influence bacterial infection and treatment?
Many of the first prokaryotes to be cultured in a scientific lab were human or animal pathogens. Why would these species he more readily cultured than non-pathogenic prokaryotes? Pathogenic prokaryotes are hardier than non-pathogenic prokaryotes Non-pathogenic prokaryotes require more supplements in their growth media Most of the necessary culture conditions could be inferred for pathogenic prokaryotes Pathogenic bacteria can grow as free bacteria, but non-pathogenic bacteria only grow as parts of large colonies.
