If two cultures of a facultative anaerobe were grown under identical conditions except that one was exposed to oxygen and the other was completely deprived of oxygen. Which of the two cultures will contain more cells at the end of a week? Why?
For microbiology
facultative anaerobe can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen in the presence of oxygen the bacteria carry out aerobic respiration and produce 36 ATP from a single glucose molecule, but in the absence of oxygen, the facultative anaerobe carries out fermentation and produces 2 ATPs from a glucose molecule.
the large amount of ATP is produced in the presence of oxygen, so the bacteria can grow more rapidly in the presence of oxygen, compared to the culture that grows in the absence of oxygen so the culture growing in the presence of oxygen will have more bacteria at the end of the week because in the presence of oxygen the glucose is used more efficiently.

A company issues two bonds that identical in all ways except one is callable and the other is not. Which one will investors pay more for (i.e., accept a slightly lower return)? Explain why.
6.)
a. Two compounds have the same Rf (0.74) under
identical conditions. Does it mean that they have identical
structures? Explain.
b. On the basis of chemical structures, briefly explain why
xanthophylls are more polar than carotenes, and chlorophylls more
polar than pheophytins.
c. Which compounds do you expect would have a larger
Rf value, carotenes or xanthophylls?
d. Arange the following compunds in order of increasing
polarity: lutein, neoxanthin,
-carotene, violaxanthin?
e. Do you think that the hexanes extract...
Two species of rat were grown under controlled conditions for 16 days and the following weight gains (in grams) were obtained. If the number is negative, it means the rat lost weight. Species A -23 4 0 -18 7 32 -4 -2 Species B 21 38 20 24 24 58 16 -16 14 28 -5 25 Species A -23 4 0 -18 7 32 -4 -2 Species B 21 38 20 24 24 58 16 -16 14 28 -5 25...
two studies that are identical in every respect except their effect size. one has p value of .01 and the other p value of .10 which has large effect size and why?
The protein-synthesizing machinery was isolated from
eukaryotic cells and briefly treated with a low concentration of
RNase. The sample was then subjected to sucrose gradient
centrifugation. The gradient was fractionated and the absorbance,
or optical density (OD), at 254 nm was recorded for each fraction.
The following plot (graph A) was obtained.
a) what do the three peaks of absorbance in graph A represent?
Label each one.
b) The experiment was repeated except that, this time, the
RNase treatment was...
Two conductive spheres are identical in every way except that one is twice as big as the other. Both are equally negatively charged. The two spheres are brought together and allowed to touch. Which of the following statements is true? There will be no movement of charge at all The electrons will spread out as much as possible meaning that the larger sphere will have more electrons than the smaller. The negative charge will spread out equally between the spheres...
Two pots are identical except that the flat bottom of one is aluminum, whereas that of the other is copper. Water in these pots is boiling away at 100.0 °C at the same rate. The temperature of the heating element on which the aluminum bottom is sitting is 177 °C. Assume that heat enters the water only through the bottoms of the pots and find the temperature of the heating element on which the copper bottom rests. Tau=
Two pots are identical except that the flat bottom of one is aluminum, whereas that of the other is copper. Water in these pots is boiling away at 100.0 ˚C at the same rate. The temperature of the heating element on which the aluminum bottom is sitting is 153 ˚C. Assume that heat enters the water only through the bottoms of the pots and find the temperature of the heating element on which the copper bottom rests.
Two identical cylindrical rods except one has a thermal conductivity k1 and the other k2. The rods are placed end to end between the two walls that are 1m apart and maintained at different temperatures, Tw and Tc. T3 the interface temperature, is halfway between the walls. If k2 = 0.5k1 and the heat flows only along the lengths of the rod determine the temperature T3. (Please calculate to final).
Two pots are identical except that the flat bottom of one is aluminum, whereas that of the other is copper. Water in these pots is boiling away at 100.0 °C at the same rate. The temperature of the heating element on which the aluminum bottom is sitting is 169 °C. Assume that heat enters the water only through the bottoms of the pots and find the temperature of the heating element on which the copper bottom rests. Tcu = i
