How can you tell from OF-glucose medium whether an organism oxidizes glucose?

If it uses glucose regularly the organisms will produce acid in the open tube only and the indicator will turn yellow. If carbohydrates are metabolized in both tubes, fermentation has occurred. There will be a dark blue color.

How would you experimentally determine whether an organism is a keystone species?
how can you expermentally determine if a organism is a keystone or a foundation species
Does chromosome number indicate whether an organism is a plant or animal?
no
A patient exhibits a boil on his neck what is the procedure to identify and determine whether the causative organism is pathogenic?
A biopsy would be the procedure that would identify and determine whether the causative organism is pathogenic.
What test should be done to test whether a sample contains glucose?
Benedict's
Does chromosome number appear to correlate to the type of organism?
No. Just number of chromosomes cannot indicate whether the organism is a plant or an animal.
What will happens when glucose is completely oxidised in the body of an organism.?
not all organisms completely oxidise the glucose. it depends on whether they undergo aerobic respiration or anaerobic respiraion. in aerobic respiration glucose is completey oxidised to give out CO2 as a waste product and H2O and energy. this can be represented as Glucose------>pyruvate------> CO2 + H2O + 36 ATP Energy
Whether a mutation is harmful or helpful depends partly on an organism's?
the organism's environment
How phenotype influence adaptation?
A particular phenotype influences adaptation according to whether the phenotype improves the survival of the organism, or whether it is detrimental to the survival of the organism.
Genetic engineers cannot control whether or not a gene transferred to an organism will be passed to the offspring of the organism?
False
Is natural selection the process by which factors in an organism's competition determine whether or not the organism will be able to produce offspring?
yes it is
What does a karyotype reveals?
It can reveal the sex (gender) of an organism. It can also reveal whether the organism has the correct number of chromosomes or not.

What does food provide for organism?
Food privdes all the nutrients that help an organism to: -grow -stay healthy -repair tissues(in animals) or damaged parts of their "body" easily, whether it is a bacteria, a plant, or an animal. Food also helps with respiration, especially glucose, which gets oxidised and is turned into carbon dioxide, which is excreted from the body in any for more oxygen.
