Ans.

  • Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek was a businessman and scientist of Dutch origin and commonly considered as "the father of microbiology".
  • He can be fairly considered as the world's first true microbiologist as he was the first person to be able to actually culture, observe and describe numerous microbial life forms.
  • He was the first person to view the micro-organisms through simple single lensed microscope that was desigend by himself.
  • He estimated the multiplication of bugs and also published his discoveries.
  • He firstly described the RBC, spermatozoa, independent as well as parasitic protozoa and especially, bacteria which he refered as small animals (animalcules).
  • He described about the different type of morphologies such as rods, spheres, spirals... etc of these tiny organisms and accurate characteristic motility of some of these microbes.
  • He observed, explained and draw the micrographs of many varities of bacteria and protozoa.

Which of the following statements are TRUE for first-order analyses of NMR spectra (the type of analysis most commonly done). The spin-multiplicity of the proton NMR absorption of the methylene group in ethanol-OD is 4. The difference in absorption frequency is equal to or less than 6 J. Equivalent protons do not split each other. First-order multiplets are symmetrical, and their chemical shift is given by the position of the first peak in the multiplet. Carbon-13, an NMR-active nucleus, has...
