Please solve them. I know Chegg's rule, which is that we can ask three parts in one question, so I am sending three parts. Please help me, I need your solution. I believe in you :)
7. Imagine that you are a biomedical engineer in a cell culture laboratory of a company. You are working on a project about drug discovery against Covid-19. You want to test the efficacy of 10 nM, 100 nM, 500 nM, and 1000 nM dosages of a drug as triple. Then, you will compare those dosages with a control group (0 nM). You will perform the study in a 24-well plate. Each well of the 24-well plate should include 5x10^5 cells. In light of this information, you used a hemocytometer to seed cells to wells, and your calculations were from a 10 ml cell suspension as given below:
Number of Live Cells: 297
Number of Dead Cells: 3
Trypan Blue: 20 μl
Cell Suspension from 10 ml: 20 μl
PBS: 960 μl
Number of Counted Squares: 10
a) Draw your toxicity determination process of drug dosage groups against Covid-19 in a 24-well plate in a table. (5 points)

b) Briefly explain why you need to dilute. If you didn't use any dilution factor, how would it affect your experiment? (5 pts)
c) Calculate how much μl could you take from the cell suspension to obtain 5x10^5 cells in a well? (10 points)
