The 3 coefficient in front of the compound applies to all of the elements while the 4 applies to only hydrogen (H). This means that the compound contains 3 Nitrogen atoms and 12 (4 multiplied by 3) Hydrogen atoms.

The cell cycle of yeast cells grown in the nutrient-poor environment is approximately what percent of the cell cycle of yeast ce
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Upon nutrient limitation, budding yeast will produce daughter cells less than 20% of the mother cell size. This asymmetric division may select for growth functions that are efficient over a larger range in cell sizes, such as exponential growth. In turn, efficient growth over a large size range lessens the pressure to have precise size control.

Explanation:

In wild-type cells growing in nitrogen-rich medium, the size threshold to enter mitosis is high, and the G1/S size control is cryptic because cell division produces daughter cells with a size greater than the minimum required to initiate S phase. In these conditions, G2 is long and G1 is short. However, the cell size threshold to enter mitosis is greatly reduced when wild-type cells are shifted to medium with a poor nitrogen source, such as minimal medium with proline, isoleucine, or phenylalanine. In these conditions, wild-type cells initiate mitosis at a reduced cell size, generating two daughter cells that are smaller than the critical size threshold required to progress through G1/S

Why algae in the ocean can have a very high NPP and a very low amount of stored biomass
USPshnik [31]
The algae in the ocean have a very high Net Primary Productivity (NPP) and a very low amount of store biomass. This is because THE GROWTH RATE OF ALGAE IN THE OCEAN IS HIGH. The store biomass is low because THE PRIMARY CONSUMERS FEED ON THESE ALGAE THUS LOWERING THE BIOMASS AMOUNT. The production of biomass is related to the NPP.
