Why are colonies that develop on a heavily seeded plate smaller than those that appear on a sparsely seeded plate?
Rynoatrish
Heavy seeded plates means a agar plate having inoculum in large quantity it is generally done by spreading method with low dilution or concentrated inoculum and is done for the need of large no. of colonies generally in industrial purpose.
Sparsely or low seeded plate are those which contain very diluted spreaded inoculum or little streaking inoculum it is generally done for examine and study purpose for understanding the physiology and morphology of microbe.

What would be found in the clear area that would not be found in the blue area of a starch agar plate after the additon of iodine?
Another organism on the starch agar plate breaks down the starch into smaller sugars, and the starch intolerant organism in turn competes for the smaller sugars. As a result, you will see colonies of the starch user pop up first, and then smaller satellite colonies of the dependant organism will form around them.
Is a cell or a molecule smaller?
Molecules are smaller. Sub atomic particles are even smaller

Why is a needle used to isolate individual colonies from a spread plate or streak plate?
Between each set of streaks you sterilize the inoculating loop in the Bunsen flame. At the beginning of the next streak you overlap with the end of the one before. The effect of the technique is to "dilute" the bacteria by gradually spreading then over greater distances. Eventually, a point is reached where single bacteria are spaced sufficiently far apart for single colonies to grow without infringing their neighbors.

Which House of Congress favors smaller states?
The house of representatives represents states with higher populations more. This is because states have representatives in the house of representatives according to their population. For example, heavily populated California has over 50 representatives while sparsely populated wyoming has only one House of Representatives
How did the environment shape the development of North America?
Geography played a major role in the development of agriculture in the colonies. For instance over in the northern colonies (new england) the soil was harsher and led to the development of diverse agriculture and generally smaller farms. Which allowed urban centers and towns to develop. In the South the soil was richer and allowed the planting of tobacco in large plantations, with large plantations people were spread far apart and did not allow for urbanization
Why did the upper south not rely as heavily on slave labor as the lower south?
The upper South did not have to rely as heavily on slave labor because their farms were smaller. The lower South had huge cotton plantations.
What can be said about the comparison between the size of the mother country and its colonies?
The size of the mother country, in most cases, is much smaller than its colonies.
Do bumble bees live in social colonies like honey bees?
Yes, but in much smaller colonies with around 50 others.
