Bacteria is a unicellular organism which can multiply very fast by binary cell division.
To get a number of divisions required for cell division: you can use the formula: 2x^{number of generations} = number of bacteria
To get 256 bacteria:
2x^{n} = 256  (you can solve this equation by a calculator)
so:  n = 8 generations

With this formula the first bacteria is taken into consideration since 1 bacteria gives two, then the two give four, then eight, 16...

A large volume of blood is transfused to a person whose baroreceptor blood pressure control system is not functioning. Arterial
Ghella [55]

Answer:  The correct answer is :  - 2

Explanation:  Baroreceptors are pressure receptors. The normal set point is 100 nnHg, which means that when the value is 160 mmHg the gain is 60, when the system is running the value is 120 mmHg that is still above 20 mmHg of the normal set point that It is 100 mmHg. Taking every 20 as a unit, the value of 20 above continues to be 40 below 160 when the system did not work, which equals - 2 which is equal to 40 = 2 (20).

Describe how an amino acid molecule passes from the lumen of the ileum to the liver​
Stels [109]

Answer: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides.

Explanation: Amino acids are absorbed via a Sodium cotransporter, in a similar mechanism to the monosaccharides. They are then transported across the alabaster membrane via facilitated diffusion. Di and tripeptides are absorbed via separate H+ dependent cotransporters and once inside the cell are hydrolyzed to amino acids.

Osmosis causes water to move from areas of low salt concentration to areas of high salt concentration. The internal NaCl concent
WITCHER [35]
<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

The light reactions require the cooperation of 2 photosystems to power linear electron flow from h2o to NADP+.?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Only Photosystem I  - 1, 5, 6

Only photosystem II - 3, 2

Both Photosystem I and II   - 4

Explanation:

Only Photosystem I  

a) Reduction of NADP+ -  uses light energy to convert NADP+ to NADPH2

b)  Reduction of electron transport chain between the two photosystems

c) Oxidation of electron transport chain between the two photosystems.

Only photosystem II

a)  Oxidation of water - here the absorbed light energy is used to dissociate of water molecules to produces protons (H+) and O2 along with free ions

b)Reduction of primary electron acceptor - An electron is taken by pheophytin which is a primary electron acceptor molecule that is  located within photosystem II and hence it get reduced.

Both Photosystem I and II  

a) Light is absorbed in both photosystem I and II. While in photosystem I, light waves of large wavelength i.e 700 nm are absorbed, in photosystem II light waves of short wavelength of i.e 680 nm are absorbed.

Heart muscle cells would tend to separate without ________
Hitman42 [59]
The answer is intercalated discs. They allow the heart muscle cells to function as one organ due to a phenomenon known as syncytium. This is where uninuclear cells fuse to form an apparent multinucleate cell. This way the heart muscle cells can contract in synch. Intercalated discs appear in the sarcomere's (of the muscle fibres) Z line.
