Which one of the following statements is false? Group of answer choices Water plays the main role in the increase in the mean global temperature referred to as global warming. Water does not cause global warming because the atmospheric lifetime of water vapor is short. The amount of energy absorbed when water evaporates is large due to its strong intermolecular forces. Water absorbs the greatest percentage of infrared radiation being emitted by the earth. The energy when released water condenses heats the atmosphere and fuels storms.

An autotroph is an organism that makes its own food using energy from the environment and carbon from inorganic molecules. Autotrophs are consumers.
Use this graph showing the standard death curves of three microbial species to answer the following two questions. The three microbial species shown in the graph where all treated at 70° C. If you had to sterilize a food product that contained 107 bacteria, how long would it take for each bacterial species? Calculate the D70 values for these three bacterial populations. For the next three questions, assume D90 = 22 minutes. At what temperature will you treat a food product? How long does it take you to kill 90% of bacteria? How long will it take you to sterilize a food product if it had 109 bacteria on it? Serial Dilutions 6a. A sample is given to you that contains 6 million cells per ml. You must make a series of serial dilutions in order to get a countable number on a plate to prove that there are indeed 6 million cells per ml. The plate that you eventually put a sample of bacteria on must have between 10 and 100 colonies for ease of counting. What…
