Glutaraldeyde in biochemistry is used a a fixative agent to preserve the ultrastructure of the cells. This is done by facilating irreversible intra and inter moloculer interaction between the proteins and other molecules. In the electron microscopy it is used to stabilise the surface and internal structure of the cells. So the option B, immobilize the cells to facilitate food vacuole counting is right.

Trouble Is Afoot Josh's favorite times of the year were summer and fall. Not because of humid heat or autumn's blazing color, but for the sports! Josh was a thr athlete. He seamlessly transitioned from summer swim league through basebal in each sport. This was an especially impressive accomplishment for a boy diag his and into football. Josh was not only a versatile athlete, but he also tru nosed with Type I diabetes at age seven. Now, a 17-year-old high...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
