A loopful of bacteria containing 1000 bacterial cells is inoculated into a nutrient broth and incubated. The culture was in lag

phase for 10 minutes and then went into exponential log phase growth for 5 hours. The generation time for the bacterium is 15 minutes. Which equation set up is the correct one to determine how many cells at the end of the 5 hours of log phase growth.
A. 1000 X 2^20B. 1000 X 2^4C. 1000 X 5 X 2 X 15D. 1000 X 40(Calculate numbers)

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

During logarithmic growth phase bacteria grows exponentially doubling every x minutes (x depends on the species). In this question doubling time/generation time is every 15 minutes and log phase takes 5 hours, which equals to the 300 minutes. During 300 minutes bacteria doubles 20 times (300/15 = 20) which equals 2^20. Bacteria culture has been started with 1000 bacterial cells so it must be added to the calculation therefore right answer is: 1000 X 2^20.

IrinaK [193]

The endosymbiotic hypothesis explains that how eukaryotic cells might have evolved chloroplasts and mitochondria within their cells.  

The endosymbiotic hypothesis states that the eukaryotes have developed via a procedure whereby distinct kinds of free-living prokaryotes became assimilated within the bigger prokaryotic cells and ultimately evolved into chloroplasts, mitochondria, and various other organelles.

Elis [28]

Answer:

The protists refer to the unicellular eukaryotic species, which comprise algae, fungi, and protozoa. Of these some are autotrophs and some are heterotrophs. They exhibit the tendency to survive in aquatic surroundings because of their feeding habits.  

In older approaches, protists are categorized on the basis of their morphology. However, by using novel approaches like molecular genetics, they are being categorized on the basis of their genetics.
