Language, Power, and Social Inequality Provide one example, from your own culture or community (state where the example is from) of how language can reflect or reproduce social power differences. Explain why anthropologists pay attention to these patterns.

What Is Culture? In your own words, explain what anthropologists mean when they say culture is “learned” and “shared.” Provide one example from your life that shows how cultural norms shape behavior.

Bank A offers a loan where interest must be paid on a monthly basis, and the quoted rate is 8 percent. Bank B will charge 7.9 percent, with interest compounded on a quarterly basis. What is the difference in the effective annual rates charged by the two banks?

Below is the picture of overnight cultures of three bacterial species on TSA plate tested with hydrogen peroxide. What do you conclude about the three bacterial streaks- unknown, E.coli and Enterococcus fecalis in the plate?

One potential source of error in plate counts is that the incubation conditions could affect how quickly colonies appear on the plate, resulting in under counting if plates are assessed too early. 

If you mix 1mL of culture into 9mL of media you have made a ____ dilution. Hint: Should be expressed to the power of 10

Derive the identification of the bacterial species given in the table below using the dichotomous tree with the minimum number of tests to arrive at the identification.   S. No Organism name Gram staining result Morphology Motility Catalase Endospore Acid fast staining result 1 Micrococcus luteus + tetrad – + – – 2 Proteus mirabilis – Single bacillus + + – – 3 Streptococcus agalactiae + streptococci – – – – 4 Escherichia coli – Single and diplobacilli + + – – 5 Klebsiella pneumoniae – Single and diplobacilli – + – – 6 Serratia marsecens – Single and diplobacilli + + – –

Below is the picture of serial dilutions of an overnight bacterial culture in liquid broth. The colonies in the culture plate are from tube E. Use this colony count to calculate the cell density in the original culture.  To obtain full credit, you must show your work and include the proper units.              

Below is a picture of overnight cultures of two bacterial species on MacConkey (MAC) Agar Medium. What do you conclude about the two bacterial species from the results observed? What type of medium is MAC medium. How is it useful?
