- Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…arrow_forwardYou are given the task of determining the approximate % solute of potato cells. You decide to set up a series of 10 cups ranging from dH2O to 1% sucrose solution. You intend to drop a potato stick in each cup. a. What data will you collect for each potato stick? b. In how many of the solutions will the potato sticks remain unchanged? c.arrow_forwardYou will be visualizing fluorescently labelled clathrin in this lab. How is the clathrin labelled here? Group of answer choices a. Cells will be fixed, permeabilized, and labelled with fluorophore-conjugated antibody against clathrin. b. Cells will be labelled with a small molecule fluorophore that directly recognizes and binds clathrin. c. Clathrin is fused with a fluorescent protein in these cells. d. Clathrin is itself a fluorescent protein.arrow_forward

Some people are immune to one type of bacteria but not the other B. The types of antibiotics prescribed will be based in part on which type of bacteria is causing the infection. C. Gram - always cause disease, Gram positives don't D. You can eliminate a large group of bacteria by knowing if infection is caused by either a Gram + or a Gram - which makes it easier to treat. E. B and D are correctarrow_forward
- A glass flask is rinsed and autoclaved after use. It was then filled with sterile media in a sterile environment and covered. A few days, microbial growth appears in the flask. Assume the media and sterile environment is guaranteed to be sterile. What most likely caused the growth in the flask? a. The flask has to be rinsed with bleach before autoclaving b. A portion of the flask was not exposed to the steam c. Autoclaves only sanitize equipment, so you cannot expect the flask to be sterile d. Autoclaving inhibits growth, but does not kill microbesarrow_forwardThe ability of cells suspended in soft (semi-solid) agar medium to form colonies is a good predictor of which of the following?
