After a period of rapid growth (log phase), bacterial growth rates will slow and enter the stationary phase. The number of viabl

e cells no longer increases, but instead stays constant. In this activity you will indicate the statements that correctly describe what is happening during stationary phase. Reasons?
A. The number of cells that are dying is balanced by the number of new cells that are being formed.
B. Cells are not increasing in number because they have not yet adjusted to the nutrient availability in the new media.
C. Harmful waste products may be accumulating.
D. The cells are likely running out of nutrients.

Answer:

A. The number of cells that are dying is balanced by the number of new cells that are being formed.

C. Harmful waste products may be accumulating.

D. The cells are likely running out of nutrients.

Explanation:

During the stationary phase, the number of viable cells remains constant. This may be due to a balance between cell division and cell death wherein the total number of newly formed cells and the cells undergoing death are equal.

Nutrient limitation is one of the several factors that make the microbial cells to enter the stationary phase. Depletion of nutrients slows down the population growth.

Accumulation of toxic waste products as it occurs during the growth of anaerobic bacteria also adversely affects the population growth.

For example, the accumulation of lactic acid and other organic acids (by-products of anaerobic respiration) inhibits the growth of the population by making the medium acidic.

A gene may be described as
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The correct answer for the fill in the blank is - A sequence of bases on the DNA that codes for a trait.

Gene is described as a segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for a particular protein, which in turn corresponds to a trait/ characteristic of the living organism.

Gene is first transcribed into mRNA ( messenger RNA) through a process called transcription. mRNA is then converted into protein through a process called translation.

The protein thus formed corresponds to a particular trait ( like eye color, hair color).

i hope this helps

The tiles below depict translation events during roughly two cycles of elongation. each cycle adds a leucine (leu) amino acid to
sergij07 [2.7K]
I found the attached image on the internet and I believe it has the tiles referred to on the question.
As we can see on the image, the A-site, P-site, and E-site are represented. The A-site is occupied by the tRNA linked to the growing peptide chain. The P-site is the one occupied by the tRNA that works accepting the growing protein for peptide bond formation.
Firstly, the protein is formed, it is the first tile from the left.
Then, the first tile from the right is where the Leu is formed.
On the second tile from the right the Leu is then added to the protein.
The process is then repeated again as there are two cycles of elongation adding a Leu in each of them: third tile from the right, third tile from the left, second tile from the left.

You are measuring length with a meter stick. however you do not realize that the first 4.0 centimeters of the meter stick are mi
ehidna [41]

Answer: Option B.

Precise but inaccurate.

Explanation:

It is precise because the measurement taken with well incremated tool reflect how close it is to the actual value i.e it has the quality of been exact but diet to the missing of 4.0 centimeter because a hungry beaver made a snack of it earlier that day the measurements will be INACCURATE because it does not conform with the result of the standard or correct value to be gotten.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Paleontologists may start their investigations by reading articles from the fossil record found in a specific region

Explanation:

Dina may examine the paleontological evidence that includes the study of the fossil record found in her hometown (or closest regions). Moreover, Dina may read research articles on the phylogeography of the species in this area, this information may also help to understand the past climatic conditions
