I'm so horrible at biology so help is appreicated;
"The following experiment is to test the limits of cell population growth. Cells were grown in six flasks under different conditions. Eash flask contained a nutrient broth of the same concentration. The table below shows the data obtained from this.
flask 1; temp 0. vol of nutrient 500. no of cells day 1; 1.0. day 2; 1.0 day 3; 1.0
flask 2; temp 20 vol of nutri 500. no of cells day 1; 1.0 day 2 1.2 day 3; 1.2 flask 3; temp 30 vol of nutri 1000. no of cells day 1; 1.0 day 2; 2.6 day 3; 3.2 flask 4; temp 40. vol of nutri 500. no of cells day 1; 1.0 day 2; 2.2 day 3 2.2 flask 5; temp 50 vol of nutri 500. no of cells day one; 1.0 day two; 2.0 day three 2.0 flask 6; temp 60. vol of nutri 500. day one; 1.0 day two; 1.4 day 3 1.4
what was the experiment devised to test?
A mistake was made in setting up the experiment in which flask was the mistake made and what happened?
Based on data what was the optimal temp for cellgrowth?
The experiment was devised to test the limits of cell population growth under different conditions. The aim was to observe how the number of cells changed over three days when grown in six flasks with varying temperatures and nutrient volumes.
Based on the data provided, it appears that a mistake was made in setting up flask 2. The mistake was likely the temperature, which was labeled as "20" without specifying the unit. This is inconsistent with the other flasks where the temperature unit is mentioned. As a result, it is unclear what happened in flask 2 due to this missing information.
To determine the optimal temperature for cell growth, we can examine the data to identify the flask with the highest cell population growth rate. Comparing the growth rates in each flask, it appears that flask 3, with a temperature of 30°C and a volume of nutrient of 1000, had the highest cell population growth rate.
The experiment was devised to test the limits of cell population growth under different conditions. Specifically, the experiment aimed to determine the effect of temperature and nutrient availability on cell growth.
To identify the mistake made in setting up the experiment and understand what happened, we need to analyze the data provided. Let's examine the number of cells in each flask during the three-day period:
Flask 1: Temperature 0°C, Volume of nutrient 500 ml
- Day 1: 1.0 cells
- Day 2: 1.0 cells
- Day 3: 1.0 cells
Flask 2: Temperature 20°C, Volume of nutrient 500 ml
- Day 1: 1.0 cells
- Day 2: 1.2 cells
- Day 3: 1.2 cells
Flask 3: Temperature 30°C, Volume of nutrient 1000 ml
- Day 1: 1.0 cells
- Day 2: 2.6 cells
- Day 3: 3.2 cells
Flask 4: Temperature 40°C, Volume of nutrient 500 ml
- Day 1: 1.0 cells
- Day 2: 2.2 cells
- Day 3: 2.2 cells
Flask 5: Temperature 50°C, Volume of nutrient 500 ml
- Day 1: 1.0 cells
- Day 2: 2.0 cells
- Day 3: 2.0 cells
Flask 6: Temperature 60°C, Volume of nutrient 500 ml
- Day 1: 1.0 cells
- Day 2: 1.4 cells
- Day 3: 1.4 cells
Now, let's analyze the data and find the mistake and its consequences:
From the data, we can observe that all flasks maintained the same cell count on day 1. However, the mistake occurred in Flask 2, where the temperature was set to 20°C instead of the intended 0°C. This mistake resulted in slightly increased cell growth compared to Flask 1.
Now, let's determine the optimal temperature for cell growth based on the data:
- Flask 1, with a temperature of 0°C, showed consistent cell counts of 1.0 cells throughout the three days.
- Flask 2, with a temperature of 20°C (mistakenly changed), showed slight growth with cell counts of 1.2 cells on day 2 and day 3.
- Flask 3, with a temperature of 30°C, exhibited the most significant growth, with cell counts of 2.6 cells on day 2 and 3.2 cells on day 3.
- Flask 4, with a temperature of 40°C, showed moderate growth with cell counts of 2.2 cells on both day 2 and day 3.
- Flask 5, with a temperature of 50°C, showed no growth, maintaining a cell count of 2.0 cells throughout.
- Flask 6, with a temperature of 60°C, also showed no significant growth, maintaining a cell count of 1.4 cells throughout.
Analyzing these results, we can conclude that the optimal temperature for cell growth, based on the provided data, is 30°C (Flask 3). It resulted in the highest cell population growth compared to other temperatures tested.
