A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. How many bacteria are grown during t

he 12th hour?

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)

Polio is caused by a virus that infects somatic motor neurons and destroys them. a) From this information, would you expect a po
kirza4 [7]

Answer

→ to lose sensation,

→ motor control

Explanation:

Anatomically the spinal cord is made up of two roots, the Dorsal roots or the posterior roots where motor or efferent neuron leaves the spinal cord to innervate the skeletal muscles, trunks  and the Ventral root or anterior roots where the afferent or sensory neuron  convey input  signals to the  spinal cord from the the receptors.

Polio virus usually destroyed  the nucleus of motor neurons, in the ventral roots of the spinal cord. its inflamed these  cells, leading to death, The death  leads to consequent degeneration  at the site of inflammation, and progressive spread  of this to other segments of the nerve fibre. This is called Wallerian Degeneration.  Thus mechanisms of  generation and transmission of action potential  in these motor neuron is inhibited.

Consequently, motor output signals by the efferent neuron leaving through the dorsal roots is disrupted, and blocked . Thus effectors-muscles of limbs,trunks, are no longer innervated and stimulated, by efferent responses from the spinal cord and  the brain, thus  leading to loss of  sensation and motor control.

With muscles redundancy, from  lack of stimulation, muscles cells  begin to waste away(muscle atrophy), and not able to control by the victim.This is paralysis.
