How can a single cell bacterium grow and reproduce exponentially

1 answer:

7 0

Bacteria reproduce exponentially, and at a brisk pace, meaning one bacterium becomes two, two become four, four become eight, and so on. Because of this, bacteria populations can double in four to twenty minutes, giving bacteria the ability to form millions of cells in as little as a few hours. Under the right conditions, a single bacterial cell can replicate into as many as one billion individual bacteria in just 10 hours.

Suppose that an adult black bear adds 50 pounds of fat in order to survive while hibernating through the winter. how much glycog

NemiM [27]

Answer: The correct answer would be 112.5 pounds

Explanation:

Let us first covert the pound into grams. We know that 1 pound is equal to 453.59 grams.

Thus, 50 pound of fat = 50 x 453.59 = 22,679.5 grams.

We know that, 1 gram of fat releases 9 Kcal of energy. Thus, total energy produced by 22679.5 grams = 9 x 22679.5 = 204,115.5 Kcal

Glycogen is carbohydrate thus, it will produce 4 Kcal of energy per gram.

Thus, 4 x C = 204,115.5 (where C is the grams of glycogen)

⇒ C = $\frac{204115.5}{4}$

⇒ C = 51,028.875 grams

Using 1 pound = 453.59 grams, we con convert 51,028.875 grams into pounds:

453.59 = 1

1 = $\frac{1}{453.59}$

51,028.875 = $\frac{1}{453.59} x 51028.875$

= 112.5 pounds

Thus, 112.5 pound of glycogen would be needed to produce the same amount of energy as produced by 50 pounds of fat.

Why do many diseases such as measles occur only once in a person yet others such as colds occur more than once?

mezya [45]

Answer:

This happens because of our immune system. Our immune system keep record of every attacking microbe.
