Answer:
246
Explanation:
Increased amount / current population = 972
Amount released = 108
time(t) = 2years
Using the exponential growth function :
f(t) = A*g^t
Where g = growth rate
To obtain the growth rate = g
972 = 108 * g^2
g^2 = 972 / 108
g^2 = 9
g = 3
To determine population after 9 months :
9 months to years = (9/12) = 0.75
t = 0.75
f(0.75) = 108*(3^0.75)
f(0.75) = 108 * 2.2795070
f(0.75) = 246.18676
= 246
The difference between bacteria and viruses that show bacteria are living and not viruses is that viruses, unlike bacteria, lack what is considered a living organism. For Example, viruses cannot reproduce without the help of a host, and don't use the normal way of cell-division for replication. Unlike bacteria, which can reproduce without the aid of a host.
So basically viruses don't have what it need to be a living organism, like reproducing without and host and aren't in the norm for cell-division for replication.
