Transcribed Image Text:**Question 3**
Use the dilution scheme to answer. The concentration of bacteria in the original sample is _______ CFU/ml.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram illustrates a dilution scheme involving several steps:
1. **Original Sample**: Begins with the original sample.
2. **First Dilution**: 0.1 ml of the original sample is added to 9.9 ml of diluent.
3. **Second Dilution**: 0.1 ml from the first dilution is added to another 9.9 ml of diluent.
4. **Third Dilution**: 0.5 ml from the second dilution is added to 9.5 ml.
5. **Final Step (A)**: 0.1 ml from the final dilution is plated, resulting in 43 CFUs.
**Answer Choices:**
- A. \(8.60 \times 10^2\)
- B. \(8.60 \times 10^7\)
- C. \(4.30 \times 10^7\)
- D. \(4.30 \times 10^8\)
- E. \(8.60 \times 10^6\)
*Note: The task is to calculate the concentration of bacteria in the original sample using the data provided in the dilution scheme.*
