Bacteria Growth Rate Formula:

N(t) = N(0) * ( 1 + r)^t

where, N(0) is the number of bacteria present at the beginning of the experiment, r is the growth rate, t is the time taken/ elapsed.

Substituting the numbers for N(t), N(0) and t from the given description, we get the value of r.

220 = 20*(1+r)^(24 hours)

Solving for r, we get r = 0.105074.

1 week has (7 x 24 = 168) hours in it.

Therefore, N(168 hours) = 20*(1+0.105074)^168

Which is approximately 390 millions.

Hence there will be 390 millions bacteria at the end of 1 week.

In the last century, the extent of global rain forests has been reduced by _____. one-half
Elodia [21]

The correct answer is - one-half.

In the past century, the deforestation of the rainforests in the world had been devastating, and it is estimated that approximately one half of the tropical rainforests have been destroyed.

The reason for the large scale destruction of the rainforests is mainly because of clearing space for agriculture and for spaces where the cattle can graze. Unfortunately, the people that live the regions where the tropical forests are, are not well educated as to how to manage the land, and a big problem is that the soil of the rainforests is only good for 2-3 seasons, because it spends and erodes very quickly. Because of that, people just continue to clear more and more of it, thus leaving destroyed forest and destroyed soil behind them, without taking in consideration the long term effects.

Paul [167]
<span>Evidence that human activities influence the global climate system continues to accumulate. Data indicate that Earth's surface temperature is rising. This increase can be attributed, in part, to human-caused increases in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. It is becoming apparent that these climatic changes are negatively affecting physical and biological systems worldwide.</span>
