7. Your tire blew out on the way coming to this exam. What would your hypothesis for the cause of the blowout be? a) A nail pricked into the tire b) The weather was bad c) Your dog chewed on the tire d) Tires are made to blow out 8. A scientist testing the affects of a chemical on apple yield sprays an orchard with the chemical. A second orchard does not receive the chemical. In the fall, the number of apples harvested from each forest is counted. Which of the following is the independent (manipulated) variable in the experiment? a) chemical b) Number of apples c) First orchard d) Second orchard 9. Sitting in class sweating profusely, you notice that the door seems to be closed every time you perspire in class. This is most closely associated with which step in the scientific method?

1. What is the statistically significant number range of colonies that may be counted on a Petri dish (for the pour plate method)? 2. Scientific Notation. Fill in the missing information. a) 4.5 x 109 = _______ b) 50 x 107 = _______ c) 2300 x 1010 = _______ d) 0.54 x 108 = _______ 3. You wish to determine viable counts on a culture of Bacillus subtilis. You begin by pipetting 1 ml of culture into 99 ml of sterile water. After mixing the dilution well you make a series of 4 further dilutions of 10-1 each. From the three most dilute samples, you prepare three pour plates using 1 ml in each. After incubation you find the plate counts of the plates are 16, 245 and 890 respectively. a) Show the dilution scheme. b) What is the estimated viable count (cells/ml) in the original culture?
Could you please put in order the following experiment (erase the ones that are not needed): 1) A total of 8 bags will be made, Bags 1-4 will be the control group and 5-8 will be the test group. 2) Put 1 unripe pear in each of the control bags. Seal each bag and one unripe pear and 1 banana in each of the test bags and seal them. 3)Place all the bags together and record the observations from the initial appearance to the final appearance of the fruit each day. 4)After a few days the ripening status of them is tested by staining them with the iodine solution. 5) After preparing the iodine solution, pour the iodine stain into a shallow tray and dip it with a half-cut pear. 6) Allow the fruit to absorb the stain and remove and rinse it with water. 7) Repeat the step by adding more stain as needed to observe the ripening status.
Attached below is the study about the effects of handwashing and the effectiveness of soap against bacteria. What conclusions can be generated from this result? A C before washing hands 10 second hand wash B D hot water only rinse 30 second hand wash Figure 8: Agar plates with bacteria A) before washing hands B) after rinsing hands in hot water C) After washing hands with soap for 10 seconds and D) after washing hands for 30 seconds. Images show that the number of bacteria on the plate are not greatly reduced after a hot water rinse or 10 second handwash but bacterial levels are reduced after a proper hand wash for 30 seconds.
Using the clinical question --"Does antibacterial foam decrease bacteria count on hands as much as hand washing with soap and water.” Question 1) Describe your study design and sample. 2) Will your findings be generalizable? Why or why not? 3) How does this exercise inform your interpretation of published research?.

A microbiology student was given a mixed culture of two different gram positive bacteria species to grow into a culture medium using correct aseptic techniques. After two days,one gram positive bacterial species grew on the media and the growth appeared red on the surface of the medium. Tthe second gram positive bacterial species grew and the growth appeared yellow on the surface of the medium. What is the possible explanation for the differences in the color of the bacterial growth? A. the culture was contaminated B. the microbiologist put too much inoculum on the culture medium C. the medium was a selective medium D. the medium was differential

A soil sample is placed in liquid and the number of bacteria in the sample determined in two ways: (1) colony count and (2) direct microscopic count. How would the results compare?a) Methods 1 and 2 would give approximately the same results.b) Many more bacteria would be estimated by method 1.c) Many more bacteria would be estimated by method 2.d) Depending on the soil sample, sometimes method 1 would be higher and sometimes method 2 would be higher.
