The major distinguishing difference between antiseptics and disinfectants is __________. the major distinguishing difference between antiseptics and disinfectants is __________. antiseptics are not affected by the presence of organic matter antiseptics can be used on living tissue disinfectants work well on biofilms disinfectants can be used on living tissue

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Antiseptics can be used on living tissue disinfectants work well on biofilms

Explanation:

Both antiseptics and disinfectants kill bacteria and inhibit their growth. However the big difference between the two is that antiseptics are used on living tissue such as skin while disinfectants are used on inanimate substances like the table tops of hospitals. Disinfectants usually have biocides that are not safe to apply on skin, mucous membrane, and tissue due to their toxicity.   An example of an antiseptic is iodine while an example of disinfectant is Lysol.

Which characteristic could help you distinguish between types of fungi?Answer
The shape of the fruiting bodies on the fungi
The color of the fungi
The spores made by the fungi
The growing location of the fungi

Answers

Characteristic could help you distinguish between types of fungi is the shape of the fruiting bodies on the fungi.

What is fungus?

"A fungus is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms."

What is its characteristics?

Characteristics of fungi

  • Fungi are eukaryotic, non-vascular, non-motile and heterotrophic organisms.
  • They may be unicellular or filamentous.
  • They reproduce by means of spores.
  • Fungi exhibit the phenomenon of alternation of generation.
  • Fungi lack chlorophyll and hence cannot perform photosynthesis.

What are the different types of fungi?

The different types of fungi are:

  1. Molds.
  2. Mushrooms.
  3. Single-celled yeast.

How do you identify types of fungus?

To identify types of fungus:

  • Fruiting body – shape, color and size.
  • Gills – in particular how they attach to the stem, a spore print can also be taken.
  • Stem – shape, color, size.
  • Smell and texture.
  • Habitat.

20 heterozygous purple flowering pea plants are crossed. If purple is dominant over white, what are the expected phenotypic results?

Answers

Let's call the colour alleles C for dominant purple, and c for recessive white.

We have crossed Cc with Cc.  So if we put that in a Punnett square, we'd have a CC, two Cc and a cc.  That would give us a 3:1 ratio of purple to white, so you'd expect 15 purple and 5 white flowers. :)

A taiga biome is DIFFERENT from a tundra biome because it has A) many coniferous trees.
B) cold winters and cool summers.
C) located in the northern hemisphere.
D) a layer of frozen soil called permafrost.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer would be A) many coniferous trees.

Taiga and tundra represent the two coldest biomes of the land on the planet.

The average annual temperature of taiga lies between 41° Fahrenheit and 23° Fahrenheit whereas the temperature of the tundra lies below 23° Fahrenheit throughout the year.

It makes the major difference between the plant life of the two biomes. The taiga is characterized by the presence of coniferous forests which consist of spruces, pines, and larches.

In contrast, vegetation in the tundra is mainly composed of grasses, shrubs, mosses, sedges, and lichens.
the answer is A. The tundra is a frozen waste, having very little to no vegetation. While the taiga has conifers growing there
