80 E. coli cells will be in the culture after two hours.

<h3>What is culture?</h3>

The development of the human, plant, or animal cells in a lab, as well as microorganisms like bacteria and yeast. Cell cultures can be used for research, medication testing, and infection diagnosis.

Primary (mortal) cultures and cultures of established (immortal) cell lines are the two main categories of cultures.

One of the most crucial methods in cellular and molecular biology is cell culture because it offers a platform for studying the biology, biochemistry, physiology, metabolism, and other aspects of both healthy and diseased cells.

A culture of 10 E. coli cells.

Incubation time = 2 hours = 120min

Doubling time = 30min (120/30 = 4)

So, 1 cell - 30min = 2 cells - 30min = 4 cells - 30min = 8 cells - 30min

Therefore, 8 ₓ 10  = 80cells of E. coli at the end of 2 hours of incubation time.

If immigration and emigration numbers remain equal which of these could cause a slowed growth rate
rodikova [14]

Answer;

Decreased birthrate

If immigration and emigration numbers remain equal , decreased birthrate could cause a slowed growth rate.

Explanation;

All populations change in size with time . Change in population is dependent of various factors, namely; birthrates, death rates, immigration and emigration.

Therefore; change in population size would be given by the difference of the sum of birth rates and immigration and the sum of death rates and emigration. That is; Change in Population Size = (Births + Immigration) - (Deaths + Emigration). A decreased birth rate with emigration and immigration remaining constant would cause a slowed growth rate.

Yeast is used in making bread. Explain why?
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

<h2>Yeast is used for the leavening of bread. Yeast uses the sugars and oxygen in dough to produce more yeast cells and carbon dioxide gas. This is called multiplication. The carbon dioxide makes the dough rise which gives the bread a light and spongy texture.</h2>
