how much growth would you expect if you used a hot inoculating loop to transfer bacteria?
Added by Robert V.
Step 1
A hot inoculating loop is sterilized by heating it to a high temperature, which kills any bacteria present on the loop. This is done to prevent contamination when transferring bacteria from one medium to another. Show more…

If you took a bacterium living in a stream with 20°C water and placed it in a hot spring with 50°C water, what might happen? It would die because faster reactions would deplete cellular ATP. It would thrive, with more thermal energy to speed reactions. It would die because its enzymes would malfunction at high temperature. It would grow as usual, since temperature has little effect on bacteria.

. Explain what might happen in a petri dish if we let a single strain of bacteria grow on the agar unchecked for one week. Use a graph (population growth curve) to illustrate your point.

You are performing a transformation experiment with Escherichia coli and a plasmid that contains a gene for tetracycline resistance. Following a successful transformation where a majority of the cells took up the plasmid you plate the results onto a nutrient agar. What do you expect to grow on the plate? Group of answer choices Both transformed and non-transformed Escherichia coli Transformed Escherichia coli Non-transformed Escherichia coli No growth is expected
