Question 21

0 /

pts

True or False. The purpose of a quadrant streak is to expand a bacterial population. You Answered

Correct Answer False

Question 22

Not yet graded / 5 pts

When performing a quadrant streak, the sample is spread across the plate in such as way as to form what? Your Answer: The dilution gradient is formed. The resulting gradient should contain within the growth of indiviual colonies. We use back and forth motion to create growth. A dilution gradient is formed. The resulting gradient should always contain within it the growth of individual colonies.

Question 23

Not yet graded / 5 pts

In what phase of a dilution streak would you expect to find the lowest concentration of bacteria, P2 or P4? Your Answer: P4 (Phase 4) dilution will contain lowest concentration of bacteria compared to P2 (Phase 2). The order are as follows: P1> P2> P3> P4. The P4 zone bacteria are weakened , thinned and diluted and are found in isolated colonies. P4 (Phase 4) would contain the lowest concentration of bacteria. The phases rank (from highest to lowest), P1 > P2 > P3 > P4. Page 12 of 19

BIOD 171 Portage Learning Final Exam

Question 24

2 /

pts

True or False. When performing a dilution streak a new (or sterilized) loop must be used for each phase.

Correct! True Failure to do so would prevent the establishment of a dilution gradient, as the same bacterial concentration would be spread across both phase regions. False

Question 25

Not yet graded / 5 pts

The number of phases (3 vs. 4) and/or the number of times a loop passes through a previous phase (once vs. multiple times) is acceptable provided what happens? Your Answer: We can accepth the either deviation, provided the resulting gradient contains within the growth of individual colonies. If this is not seen than experiment will be repeated. Either deviation is acceptable in practice provided the resulting gradient contains within it the growth of individual colonies—if not, the experiment must be repeated. Pathogenic strains of bacteria tend to grow faster than non-pathogenic strains at 37°C, so researchers may set incubators at 25°C to restrict its growth. False

Question 26

2 / 2 pts

True or False. To restrict the growth of a pathogenic microbe a researcher might decrease an incubator from 37°C to 25°C. Correct! True

When given an unknown bacterial sample the first step is to expand the current bacterial population. Which form of media best suites this need? Why?

  1. MSA agar
  2. LB media
  3. MacConkey agar
  4. Columbia CNA agar Your Answer: LB media. The other options are forms of selective media, which means they inhibits the growth of the unkown samples. the culture is expanded first and placed in selective agar plates. Correct Answer LB media. All other options (A, C and D) are all forms of selective media, meaning they may potentially inhibit the growth of the unknown sample. The culture should be first expanded and then place onto selective/differential agar plates.

While traveling abroad, should you be worried about coming into contact with either the Variola major or Variola minor viruses? Your Answer: No. This disease causing virus had been eradicated since October 1977. Due to global vaccinnation effort, this disease is not active anymore. It is another name for small pox virus. We should not be worried travelling due to these virus. No. Both viruses are variants of smallpox and were eradicated in 1977. You would not need to worry about coming into contact with the virus.

Question 37

Not yet graded / 5 pts

A drug company is trying to develop a new drug that will inhibit the release of newly produced viral particles. Would the drug company target hemagglutinin proteins or neuraminidase proteins? Why? Your Answer: Hemagglutinin protein would be the targets as they are directly involved in viral attchment and entry into the host. Neuraminidase are involved in budding and release of new viral particles, so they will not be a target. Neuraminidase (N) proteins are directly involved in the budding and release of new viral particles and would thus be the correct target. Hemagglutinin (HA) proteins would not be advisable targets as they are directly involved in viral attachment and entry into the host cell. You Answered Page 18 of 19
