Give the conditions/factors that influence germination. What is dormancy? What are the causes of dormancy? How can dormancy in seed be broken? What are the three factors influencing plant development? What factors affect the absorption of groundwater into the ...
Recent studies have found a notable link between gut microbiota and eye conditions, referred to as the ‘gut-eye axis’. Disruption in gut microbiota can affect overall and ocular immune responses via different routes, potentially resulting in eye disorders. Treatments like fecal microbiota transplanta...
What conditions promote exponential population growth? What are some clinical factors that increase the \dot{V}_{O_2}? We are using cultures that have been grown overnight so they are already in log phase growth. What is the factor that could affect the length of the log phase? What is...
It is the most common type. Under favorable conditions, each bacterium divides into two identical bacteria. The bacterial cells first acquire nutrition grow at their maximum size and replicate their DNA. The new replicated DNA called an incipient nucleus, migrates towards opposite poles. A transvers...
microplastics are potential and effective vectors of other toxic chemicals and microorganisms: however, evidence of all these aspects has been partly found in marine organisms and animal models, and some results have been achieved in the laboratory, under controlled conditions, which are not always co...
4. Protection Against Microbial Growth High humidity environments can foster the growth of mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms. Desiccants create inhospitable conditions for these contaminants by: Lowering the available water activity Creating a dry microenvironment within the packaging ...
The composition and amount of detritus in an ecosystem depend on factors such as the types of organisms that have died, environmental conditions, and the presence of decomposers. 7 Management practices in ecosystems often aim to balance grazing pressures to maintain healthy plant communities, whereas...
The human gut microbiome contains a world of microbes. We look at the the bacteria that deeply affect our health and well-being.

Most culture media must have a neutral pH (~7.0). Why is this the case? Clue: What conditions do cells need? Why? What is the effect of pH on yeast fermentation? Which ion accounts for the low pH of urine? How and where is this ion transported into the urine? Why is the eliminati...
