What type of chemical agent retards bacterial growth?
Antibiotics are chemical agents that retard bacterial growth by targeting specific components of bacterial cells, which can inhibit their growth or kill them. Examples include penicillin, tetracycline, and ciprofloxacin.
What type of instrument is available for measurement of bacterial growth on the basis of turbidity?
A spectrophotometer can be used to measure bacterial growth based on turbidity. It detects changes in light absorbance caused by the presence of bacteria in a liquid culture, with higher turbidity indicating more bacterial growth.
What are the real life examples of exponential functions?
Compound interest, depreciation, bacterial growth, radioactive decay etc.
What inhibits bacterial growth but does not kill bacteria?
Bacteriostatic agents inhibit bacterial growth by preventing their reproduction and division, but do not directly kill the bacteria. Examples include certain antibiotics, refrigeration, and desiccation.
What are the examples of chemotropism?
Examples of chemotropism include pollen tube growth towards ovules in plants, fungal hyphae growth towards nutrients in the soil, and bacterial movement towards sources of nutrients or away from harmful substances.
If you are testing how bacteria growth is effected by water in the air what type of variable is the water in the air?
In this experiment, the water in the air is an independent variable, as you are manipulating it to observe how it affects bacterial growth. The dependent variable would be the level of bacterial growth, which you measure in response to changes in the water content. Additionally, any other factors that could influence bacterial growth should be controlled to ensure a fair test.
What is the difference between bacterial and anti bacterial hand wash?
Bacterial hand wash favors the growth of bacteria on the surface of the skin ( hands). On the other hand ( no pun intended) ANTI bacterial hand wash does not favor bacterial growth and in fact contains agents to prevent any bacterial growth on the hands.
What is ment by bacterial growth in food?
Bacterial growth in food refers to the increase in the number of bacteria present in food items, which can occur under favorable conditions such as warmth, moisture, and nutrients. This growth can lead to food spoilage, changes in flavor, texture, and appearance, and can pose health risks if pathogenic bacteria are present. Proper food storage, cooking, and handling practices are essential to control bacterial growth and ensure food safety.
What are some examples of using the scientific method in the community?
Cleaning your bad mouth is good example of science, in-fact Microbiology. Due to the growth of bacterial.
Can bacterial growth in urine result in false positive for methamphetamine?
No, drug tests are designed with things such as bacterial growth in mind.
During which phase of bacterial growth would penicillin be most effective?
Penicillin would be most effective during the exponential growth phase of bacterial growth.
How do you destroy bacterial growth?
by distorting it
