  2. When doing serial dilutions, why is it necessary to plate more than one dilution?
  3. You left a carton of orange juice on your counter for 3 days. When you taste it, it is very bubbly (as though it was carbonated), and it tastes more bitter than usual. (Note: acids taste bitter). What do you think could have happened? (Note: you can’t just say that bacteria grew—you must explain how the growth of the bacteria resulted in the changes in the orange juice.)
  4. Based on what you now know about the presence of bacteria on chicken and beef, why is it a good idea to use separate chopping boards for meat and for vegetables?
