The stool samples submitted by the two friends were enumerated following enrichment. The technician prepared serial dilutions. A volume of 1 mL of stool was mixed with 1 mL of diluent. From this dilution, they then took 1 mL and added it into 1 mL of diluent. The operation was repeated 5 more times. After finishing the serial dilution, 100 μ�L has been spread on different TSA plates. Following 24h incubation, the technician counted 23 colonies at the dilution 4. What is the bacterial concentration in the enriched culture? [1 mark]

At the station there is a 2 mL microcentrifuge tube containing sheep blood and 3 tubes containing the following solutions: 0 mM, 300 mM, 600 mM of sucrose. The tubes are randomly labelled A, B, C. 2 mL of each solution were transferred to a different microcentrifuge tube, 20 ul of blood were then added to each tube, and they were mixed well by inverting the tube for multiple times. They were observed and it was determined whether the solution in each tube was hypotonic (Yes or No) relative to the blood cells. In addition, the solutions were diluted with water to help you determine which solution is which sucrose concentration. What sucrose concentration corresponds with each tube? Tube Hypotonic (Yes/No) Hypotonic after 1:1 dilution with water (Yes/No) Most likely Sucrose concentration (mM) A No Yes B Yes Yes C No No
