Which one of the following is not true about PEA medium? Select one: a. Contains sodium chloride b. Defined composition c. Contains phenylethyl alcohol d. Selective
Added by Taylor H.
Step 1
It does contain phenylethyl alcohol, which inhibits the growth of gram-negative bacteria, making it selective. It also contains sodium chloride. However, the exact composition of PEA medium can vary, and it is not always fully defined. Show more…

Several grams of sodium chloride are stirred into a glass of water and are no longer visible to the eye. Which of the following statements is FALSE? Sodium chloride is insoluble in water. All of the statements are true. No precipitate has formed. An aqueous solution has been prepared. The sodium chloride solid has dissociated into its component ions.

The relative lowering of vapor pressure of a solution is equal to the mole fraction of the non-volatile non-electrolyte solute. a) i b) ii c) Both i & ii d) None of the above
In a hypothetical research situation, scientists discover bacterial endospores in silt at the bottom of a marsh that has been contaminated with a pollutant for 25 years. The silt of the marsh was deposited in annual layers. The age of the endospores can be estimated, then, by identifying the layer of silt in which the endospores are found. In flask A, researchers place 20-year-old endospores along with growth medium and the pollutant. In flask B, researchers place 100-year-old endospores along with growth medium and the pollutant. Suppose the researchers observe the flasks for a while, continuing to replenish growth medium and pollutant as necessary. If the difference in the growth in each flask lessened after some time, which statement explains why? a. Because the endospores formed 100 years ago, before the marsh was polluted, they would evolve resistance to the pollutant fairly quickly. The bacteria in flask B would then grow more prolifically, and the difference in population size of each flask would lessen. b. Because the endospores formed 20 years ago would lose their resistance to the pollutant. The bacteria in flask A would die, and the difference in population size of each flask would lessen. c. Because the endospores formed 100 years ago, before the marsh was polluted, they would lose their resistance to the pollutant. The bacteria in flask B would then grow more prolifically, and the difference in population size of each flask would lessen. d. Because the endospores formed 20 years ago would evolve resistance to the pollutant fairly quickly. The bacteria in flask A would die, and the difference in population size of each flask would lessen.
