Researchers examining decomposition in a freshwater marsh estimated the following decomposition rate constants: k = 0.058-0.61 d1 for the soft tissues of fish and waterfowl; and k = 0.03-0.05 d1 for aquatic plants. Decomposition was measured under similar environmental conditions. (A) Based on the estimated rate constants, which type of material-animal (i.e. fish, waterfowl) or plant (i.e. aquatic plants)-decomposes faster? (B) What is a likely explanation for this pattern? E.g., how would C:N compare between the two materials? [2-3 sentences]

A biochemist carefully measures the molarity of salt in 56. mL of photobacterium cell growth medium to be 82. mM. Unfortunately, a careless graduate student forgets to cover the container of growth medium and a substantial amount of the solvent evaporates. The volume of the cell growth medium falls to 3.1 mL. Calculate the new molarity of salt in the photobacterium cell growth medium. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. | mM

Write an abstract of the article below in Results (around 3-4 sentences): RESULTS AND DISCUSSION For the duplicate sets of reactors in experiments A and B, reactors inoculated with Pond 1 started gas formationsooner and peaked earlier than the Pond 2 and Horse Dung reactors. For both sets of reactors, the reactor seeded with pond bottom soil obtained from Pond 1 had the highest methane generation rate, as well as the largest cumulative volume of methane, followed by Pond 2 and finally the reactor seeded with Horse Dung, as shown in Figure 1(A) and (b) below. The possible reason is that Pond 1 is an older pond compared to Pond 2, and the bottom soil obtained from the Pond 1 may have more stable organic matter accumulated as well as higher nutrient concentrations, leading…
Suppose a researcher is investigating the measurement ability of a new device intended to read the freezing point of a chemical compound. The substance used in the investigation has a known freezing point of -24 degrees Celsius. The researcher conducted a series of 10 sample measurements of the freezing point, and the results are represented below. What can we say about the device with regards to its precision, and potential bias? Measurement Freezing Point (degrees Celsius) 1 -26 2 -18 3 -32 4 -31 5 -24 6 -24 7 -24 8 -24 9 -11 10 -37

A flat (not spherical) tissue engineered skin (thickness 2.5 mm) is attached to the bottom of a dish and cultured with cell media atop it (which has an oxygen concentration of 0.15 mol/m3). The diffusivity of oxygen in the skin is 3.4 E-9 m2/s, and according to experiments that you’ve performed, you want to make sure that the concentration of oxygen in the device doesn’t fall below 0.06 mol/m3. (Below that concentration harms the cells.) The rate of oxygen consumption is -5.9 E-17 mol/[cell◦s]. What is the maximum cellularity (in cells/mL, three significant digits) that this tissue engineered skin can support?
