Answer:

 C) 128

Explanation:

In binary fission each bacterial cell will divide into two parts.

1. Since the bacteria divides divides after every 20 min , We have to find the number of division in two hours two hour(2x60=120 min) which will be;

120÷20=6

It will undergo 6 divisions.

2. To calculate the number of bacteria at the end of 2 hours

Bacteria in the beginning x 2∧ Number of division

1× 2∧6= 128 Bacteria

Autotrophs that utilize light as their energy source are
k0ka [10]

The correct answer is - phototrophs.

Some of the autotrophs are able to convert the electromagnetic energy from the sunlight into chemical energy in the form of reduced carbon (C). The autotrophs that are able to perform this are called phototrophs. The green plants and the algae are the most prominent members of the phototroph autotrophs.

In essence, the autotrophs are producers, meaning that they are able to produce their own food. The phototrophs are the part of the autotrophs that are able to use the sunlight to produce small amounts of ATP as well as the energy carrier NADHP. By producing the ATP and the NADHP the phototrophs manage to produce glucose, or rather sugars, which are actually their food.

50 POINTS!! In the carbon cycle, all animals must consume other organisms because A. they can not absorb enough carbon from wate
stich3 [128]

Answer:

C

Explanation: A fish can live in water and get carbon in the air bubbles but it's not enough carbon to thrive off of so the fish may need to eat other fish or plankton in the water. The second example A wolf would get its carbon from both the air and water but would still need extra carbons so that is why it would hunt a deer to consume its carbons. Also, the deer would get its carbons from the air, water, and grass. the grass would get its carbons from water and air. NOW DO YOU GET IT EVERYTHING IS CARBONS AND LIVES OFF OF THEM AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THAT WAY!

The membranes of both b cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how
iragen [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>when the membranes are fused, the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell .</h2>

Explanation:

Cell membrane is composed of phospholipid bilayer . Cell membrane is hydrophilic at the surface of outside of the cell and inside surface of the cell thus both surface of cell membrane is a hydrophilic . Interiorly cell membrane is hydrophobic or nonpolar region because membrane composed of long fatty acid chain interiorly . Inner surface of cell membrane have no contact with water or polar molecules . When membrane binds to each other then the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell , while nonpolar parts of cell avoid water and create bilayer phospholipid where hydrophobic tails are in between the hydrophilic heads .
