blsea [12.9K]

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.

Answer:

"Plate movement is thought to be driven by a combination of the motion of the seafloor away from the spreading ridge (due to variations in topography and density of the crust, which result in differences in gravitational forces) and drag, with downward suction, at the subduction zones."

Your body constantly produces new cells. Normal cells follow a typical cycle: They grow, divide and die. Cancer cells, on the other hand, don't follow this cycle. Instead of dying, they multiply and continue to reproduce other abnormal cells. So, as a tumour gets bigger, cancer cells can spread to surrounding tissues and structures by pushing on normal tissue beside the tumour. Cancer cells also make enzymes that break down normal cells and tissues as they grow. Cancer that grows into nearby tissue is called local invasion or invasive cancer.
