Summary Introduction

To determine:

The micropipette used to measure 15 μl.

Introduction:

Micropipettes is a laboratory equipment that is used to measure or quantify the very small quantity of liquids. These pipettes are generally used in laboratories and the least quantity that these pipettes can measure is 0.1 μl. Micropipettes are found in different sizes and depending on their size, different tips are used for them.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The micropipettes used in the laboratories are of three different sizes, P20, P200, and P1000. P20 micropipette is used to measure volume ranging between 0.5-20μl. P200 micropipette is used to measure volume ranging between 20-200 μl. P1000 micropipette is used to measure volume ranging between 100-1000 μl.

Conclusion

The micropipette used to measure 15 μl is P-20.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
