What was the purpose of letting the transformed cells sit in LB for a few minutes before spreading them onto the plates? A. This allows time for the cells to express the antibiotic resistance gene

B. This allows the cells to take up the plasmid after the heat shock procedure

C. This allows time for the cells to warm up before plating

D. This allows cells time to start glowing green

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
