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.

What would happen to life on earth if the rates of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in all phototrophs were equal?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

When the level of release of carbon dioxide during respiration and use of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis this results in a compensation point. At compensation point the net available carbon dioxide to phototrophs becomes  zero. As, carbon dioxide is the chief ingredient for photosynthetic products like glucose and oxygen. These products are used up during the process of respiration. When the rates of two processes photosynthesis and respiration becomes equal. Phototrophic organisms will not be able to compensate for lack of carbon dioxide levels. Phototrophs will not be able to produce their food in the form of glucose and hence will not be able to respire too. This will result in lack of overall available food from phototrophs and lack of available oxygen for respiration. This will result in decline of organisms on earth.

The ovarian cycle describes the monthly events of a post-pubescent ovary that causes a small number of primary follicles to grow
Damm [24]

Answer:

The ovarian cycle regulates endocrine tissue preparation, and egg release in female body.  

The first half of the ovarian cycle as the follicular process. Slowly growing rates of FSH and LH are causing follicle development on the ovary surface. This cycle makes the egg primed for ovulation. As the follicles develop they start releasing estrogens and low progesterone levels. Progesterone locks the endometrium in order to help ensure pregnancy. It takes about seven days to travel ovum through the Fallopian tube and to get implanted in uterus. There are 30-60 cells at this point of evolution, called the morula. If there is no pregnancy implantation the lining would be sloughed off. estrogen levels increase after around 5 days, and the menstrual cycle enters the proliferative process. The endometrium starts to regrow, replacing the weakening blood vessels and glands at the end of the last cycle.

In which biome would you most likely find plants that grow far apart from one another, with narrow leaves and shallow roots? Why
stiks02 [169]
<span> A plant with narrow leaves and shallow roots would probably be found in the desert, where there is not a lot of water. Narrow leaves help prevent water loss. Shallow roots can spread out long distances in search of water. Plants living in the desert grow far apart from one another so that they don’t have to compete for limited amounts of water.</span>

How can light energy solve real-life problems?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

It helps us to see things.

It helps plants to make food and grow.

It is used in power satellites and space stations.

It is used in many electronic appliances.

The energy of light from the sun can be harvested to solar panels and can be used for domestic use since it is eco-friendly and cost effective too.
