A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to rise?What happens when the thermal energy of a substance increases?

Which statement about the immune system is false? a. lymphocytes reduce inflammation, b. b cells remember specific pathogens. c. most white blood cells kill bacteria d. white blood cells are made in lymph nodes.

If bacteria are much too small to see, what is one reason why can we see colonies in the petri dishes that have plenty of food to eat after only a few days?

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
