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.

Masja [62]

When talking about evolution, a good example is bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

We start with a bacteria colony, and in contact with antibiotics, most of them die.

Some of them in the colony do not die and took that antibiotic to create a mutation of its DNA to be resistance to that.

They evolved  survive that antibiotic.

The F2 generation phenotypes for each cross are shown in Table 1. (See attachment) Which of the following is the mean number per cross of F2 generation offspring that are the result of crossing over?

Answer:

B, 2.2

Explanation:

The parental genotypes are long and black vs short and white. Therefore the phenotypes that result from crossing over are long and white, and short and black. (middle two rows of the table).  If we add up the total number of offspring with these genotypes we get 6 long whites, and 5 short blacks.

The total is 11 from 5 crosses, so the mean is 11/5 = 2.2

Percent error is a statistical tool used for evaluating precision. It is expressed as:

Percent error = | (experimental value - theoretical value) / theoretical value | x 100%

Experimental value represents the calculated value while the theoretical value represents the known value. A percent error value which is approaching zero means that your experimental value is close to the known value. Which can possibly mean that you have precise measurements. Calculations are as follows:

Percent Error = | (2.54 - 2.70) / 2.70 | x 100 =5.93%

Thus, the answer is b. 5.93%.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

Green plants and trees use photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere: It is their primary source of energy. The importance of photosynthesis in our life is the oxygen it produces. Without photosynthesis there would be little to no oxygen on the planet.
