Here is a list showing how the bacteria grows:

Begin      -   15
1st hour   -   30
2nd hour  -   60
3rd hour   -  120
4th hour   -   240
5th hour   -   480
6th hour   -   960
7th hour   -   1,920
8th hour   -   3,840
9th hour   -   7,680
10th hour -   15,360
11th hour -   30,720
12th hour -   61,440

As you can see, the number of bacteria present is doubled at the end of each hour, as the question states. However, the question is not asking for the total number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour; it is asking for the bacteria GROWN during the 12th hour.

Because there were 30,720 bacteria at the end of the 11th hour, and 61,440 at the end of the 12th, the number of bacteria that grew during that last hour must be 61,440 - 30,720 = 30,720 bacteria.

(P.S. the answer would be 61,440 if it was asking for the TOTAL number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour)

Compare actions of cocaine amphetamines and nicotine
Nookie1986 [14]
Nicotine on direct application in humans causes irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, increased salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Predominant immediate effects consist of increase in pulse rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also causes an increase in plasma free fatty acids, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the level of catecholamines in the blood. There is reduced coronary blood flow but an increased skeletal muscle blood flow. The increased rate of respiration causes hypothermia, a hypercoagulable state, decreases skin temperature, and increases the blood viscosity.

For amphetamine the immediate effects are quicker reaction times, feelings of energy/wakefulness, excitement, increased attentiveness and concentration, feelings of euphoria. Side effects of amphetamines can include heart palpitations, dry mouth, headache, hostility, nausea, cognitive impairment, severe anxiety, lack of appetite, teeth grinding, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, rapid breathing rate, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased body temperature, erectile dysfunction, irregular heartbeat.

Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug the side effects are Loss of appetite increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, contracted blood vessels increased rate of breathing, dilated pupils, disturbed sleep patterns, nausea, hyperstimulation, bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability, tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin, intense euphoria, anxiety and paranoia, depression, intense drug craving, panic and psychosis, convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)

HELP ASAPPP PLEASEEEEE
Kitty [74]

The birth rate was greater than the death rate and the immigration rate was greater than the emigration rate. Options B and D are correct.

<h3>Population growth</h3>

From the illustrated image, the world experienced an upward growth in population between 1950 and 2010.

In order for population growth to occur:

  • the birth rate must exceed the death rate
  • immigration must exceed emigration

Either or both of the above conditions will lead to a growth in the population.

Thus, options B and D are correct.
