Part (a) What metric unit is made when the prefix, da, is combined with the base unit, grams (g)? Write the full word and abbreviation.
Part (b) What metric unit is made by combining the prefix, m, with the base unit, meters (m)? Write the full word and abbreviation.
Part (c) You are a microbiologist studying a newly found bacterial species, Streptococcus newmexicanus. While studying this species, you examine hundreds of samples and find the average size of this bacterium to be approximately 0.0019 millimeters in length.Convert this measurement into micrometers, with your final answer in scientific notation.
Part (d) This bacterium is often found in a chain of bacterial cells connected to each other. The chains can reach lengths of 2.5 mm. Using the information above, calculate how many Streptococcus newmexicanus cells are in a chain 2.5 mm long. Make sure to express your answer in scientific notation & to show your work.

- how do you get salvagearrow_forwardI need help answering this question to my professor: The topic for the discussion was this one: Some potentially pathogenic bacteria and fungi, including strains of Enterococcus, Staphylococcus, Candida, and Aspergillus, can survive for one to three months on a variety of materials found in hospitals, including scrub suits, lab coats, plastic aprons, and computer keyboards. What can hospital personnel do to reduce the spread of these pathogens? My answer was this one: To reduce the spread of these pathogens an infection control protocol should be followed. Some ways in which this could be reduced is by using desinfectants, sterilization, hand washing, and disposing techniques. In addition, I currently work as a dental assistant at Jackson Main and the protocol we use is hand washing our hands for at least 20 seconds before and after seeing every patient. We use CaviWipes to disinfect every surface and autoclave every single instrument after every use.

- Anthrax-laced letters were sent to the Senior Librarian recently. After the building was evacuated and all of the potentially exposed workers had received antibiotics to prevent the establishment of infection, no one was sure how to disinfect the building to make it safe for the return of workers. Your team has been hired by the Management to develop a plan to decontaminate the Building Complex after the arrival of anthrax-laced letters. The Building Complex contains thousands of valuable documents that cannot be destroyed. Workers need to be able to return to the buildings, although they do not need to return immediately. You need to guarantee the safety of workers who return. a. Can you devise an experimental setting to test the effectiveness of your strategy?b. What advice would you give to workers concerned with contaminating their family members?arrow_forwardI need the last word.

You rent a moped to visit an archeological site on the outskirts of Bangkok. On the way there you hit a patch of gravel and wipe out, badly scraping your leg. Lurking in the dirt embedded in the scrape on your leg is Burkholderia pseudomallei, a soil bacterium endemic in Southeast Asia but not present in North America. Describe the cellular and molecular processes necessary for the activation of a primary adaptive immune response and the effector mechanisms produced to clear the infection. Be specific in terms of receptors and effector molecules specific to the type of pathogen.arrow_forward
