Your quality control laboratory wants to do some tests to determine why the wash enzymes didn't perform as expected. Which of the following experiments would be best for testing the hypothesis that the enzymes did not perform as expected because the temperature was too high? O Produce one batch of blue jeans with twice as much enzyme as another batch of blue jeans while keeping the temperature the same, then compare how the lightness of the blue jeans varies between batches.

- “Belinda!” called Kyle, running to catch up to her. Belinda turned around and waited for him. “Are you heading to the lab right now?” asked Kyle. “Yes.” she said. “I want to look over the Gram stain protocol one more time before we go in.” “Yeah, good idea. I’ve been trying to memorize the steps. But it’s hard.” Belinda and Kyle spent the twenty minutes remaining before the start of lab going over Chapters 3 and 4 of their textbook, which listed the steps of the Gram stain and how the staining results relate to the structure of the bacterial cell wall. Kyle and Belinda took a sample of the bacteria provided by their instructor and each performed the Gram stain. They focused on their slides with the oil immersion lens. “Got it!” they said almost simultaneously, grinning proudly. “So, what do you have?” asked Belinda. “I have Gram-positive bacilli” announced Kyle with an air of triumph. “Huh? I have Gram-negative bacilli.” “That’s not right, we used the same sample!…arrow_forwardWhy must you first clean debris from items before beginning disinfection or sterilization?

Part (c) You are a microbiologist studying a newly found bacterial species, Streptococcus newmexicanus. While studying this species, you examine hundreds of samples and find the average size of this bacterium to be approximately 0.0019 millimeters in length.Convert this measurement into micrometers, with your final answer in scientific notation. Part (d) This bacterium is often found in a chain of bacterial cells connected to each other. The chains can reach lengths of 2.5 mm. Using the information above, calculate how many Streptococcus newmexicanus cells are in a chain 2.5 mm long. Make sure to express your answer in scientific notation & to show your work.
