12.Which is true about non-vascular plants?Read and analyze the question and choices CAREFULLY; more importantly, ALWAYS CHOOSE the BEST answer. They do not possess conducting elements such as xylem and phloem. They have xylem and phloem in their thick stem. All non-vascular plants are flowering plants All non-vascular plants do not perform photosynthesis.
B) A total of 2.5 x 105 cells were harvested from the patient. You need the cells to fill a scaffold with dimensions of 20mm x 20mm x 4mm at a final density of 2 x 104 cells/mm³. After culturing the harvested cells, you found that they have a doubling time of 36 hours. Determine the total number of cells (N) needed to fill the scaffold. Show your work.

B) A total of 2.5 x 105 cells were harvested from the patient. You need the cells to fill a scaffold with dimensions of 20mm x 20mm x 4mm at a final density of 2 x 104 cells/mm³. After culturing the harvested cells, you found that they have a doubling time of 36 hours. Given the growth rate is proportional to the number of cells, determine the time it will take to achieve the desired cell count. Show your work.
Im 100 4. You have a culture of yeast that is at a density of 8x10' cells/mL. You dilute the sample 1:10, then 1:1,000 again, and finally you dilute the sample an additional 1:5. You add 0.1 mL of the final dilution to a spread plate. Assuming that most of the cells in the original culture were living, how many colony- forming units do you expect to count on your pour plate the next day?
1. how does colony appearance and location with respect to the agar differ on the spread and pour plate? 2. list two additional factors that contribute to error in the spread plate method:
