If a single bacteriophage infects one

Biology
1 answer:
melomori [17]3 years ago
5 0

The answer is 3,625,908,203,125. This calculated by (325)^5  .

This is exponential growth where the population of the virus doubles in every lytic cycle and decimates the E. coli population. In some hours the lawn of E. coli cells will be completely mowed down. The other life cycle  of bacteriophages, other than lytic, is lysogenic cycle that does not lyse the bacteria but only integrates its DNA in the genome and is replicated when the bacteria divides.

What organs are being affected from dwarfism???? And how????
Alexandra [31]

Pituitary dwarfism is caused by problems arising from the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland, also called the hypophysis, is a gland at the base of the brain that produces many different hormones. This gland is divided into the anterior (front) and posterior (back) halves. The anterior pituitary produces six hormones: growth hormone, adrenocorticotropin (corticotropin), thyroid stimulating hormone (thyrotropin), prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, and lutenizing hormone. The posterior pituitary gland only produces two hormones: antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin) and oxytocin.

The growth process begins in the lower part of the forebrain in a small organ called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus releases hormones that regulate the production of other hormones. When the hypothalamus releases growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), the anterior pituitary is stimulated to release growth hormone (GH). Growth hormone then acts on the liver and other tissues and stimulates them to secrete insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). IGF-1 directly promotes the development of bone and muscle, causing bones to grow in length, and muscles to increase protein synthesis (make more protein).

Since growth is a complex phenomenon, it may be slowed down or stopped by abnormalities arising at any point in the process. Thus, dwarfism can result if there is a deficiency in any of these hormones, if there is a failure in the receptor cells receiving the hormonal stimuli, or if the target cells are unable to respond.

At its most basic, pituitary dwarfism results from decreased production of hormones by the anterior pituitary. When none of the hormones of the anterior pituitary are adequately produced, this is called panhypopituitarism. A common form of pituitary dwarfism is due to deficiencies in the production of growth hormone (GH). When less GH than normal is produced during childhood, an individual's arms, legs, and other structures continue to develop in normal proportions, but at a decreased rate.

Aliun [14]

According to the context, fungi is an organism that digests its food externally before absorbing it and it cannot move.

<h3>What are fungi?</h3>

They are living beings belonging to the fungi kingdom: molds, yeasts and mushrooms.

These lack mobility and senses, like plants, and they consume available organic matter (heterotrophic nutrition).

Therefore, we can conclude that according to the context, fungi is an organism that digests its food externally before absorbing it and it cannot move.

Active and passive humoral immunity are both mechanisms of adaptive immunity that use antibodies. true false
dolphi86 [110]

Active and passive humoral immunity are both mechanisms of adaptive immunity that use antibodies. yes this is true

  • Our adaptive immune system protects us from infection-related mortality. An new-born born with a significantly compromised adaptive immune system may die shortly unless extreme steps are taken to isolate it from a wide range of infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
  • The purpose of adaptive immunity is to eliminate invading infections as well as any harmful chemicals they create. Because these reactions are damaging, it is critical that they only occur in response to molecules that are alien to the host and not to molecules that are native to the host. The adaptive immune system's capacity to identify what is foreign from what is self is a fundamental feature.

Food webs are unable to cross from one environment into another (e.g., from land to water).
Yuri [45]

Answer: false, for example, if a frog eats flies, and the flies are land animals,  if they go extinct the frogs could die off, meaning any fish or water dwellers that eat the frogs can starve and cause a large chain reaction.

Hope this helps ^^
