Answer:
a. do not immediately increase in number when placed in a culture
Explanation:
When bacteria placed in a new culture it shows a pattern of growth which is known as sigmoid growth. It has four phases lag, log, stationary, and death.
The lag phase occurs because bacteria do not start dividing immediately just after the placed in the new culture media because bacteria first adapt to the new environment and prepare enzymes needed for metabolizing the new substrate.
As the bacteria pass this lag phase it starts to divide at an exponential rate. Therefore it is true that most bacteria do not increase in number immediately after placed in a new culture.
Answer:
lager plants become the dominant organisms
Answer:
'Genetically modified organisms' are organisms which have been altered genetically using genetic engineering. Genetically modified foods should be labelled since they allow the user to understand and to give them the choice to either eat them or not.
Explanation:
<u>Genetic engineering</u> is the process by which GMO are produced. Genetic engineering allows changes to be made at genetic level where new sequences of genes are introduced or deleted though techniques like <em>selective breeding</em> or <em>mutation breeding</em>.
Certain advantages and disadvantages of genetically modified food are stated below:
- In agriculture, crops are produced with better yield and taste.
- The crops are also made resistant to pests and insects.
- The seeds mature quickly.
- Few examples of GM foods are Golden rice, Flavr savr tomatoes, Bt cotton, etc.
Disadvantages of GMO:
- The new traits introduced can cause adverse <em>health reactions</em>.
- If these resistant varieties cross breed they might result in production of 'super weeds'.
Foods must be labelled since there might be health issues caused by them. The nutritional value of the food might be changed which should be observed if it is to be given to infants.
Answer:
An earthquake
Explanation:
An earthquake is caused when plates move around and clash.
<u>Answer</u>: Option b) 2
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Significant figures are the digits which play a role in defining a measurement that is they carry some meaning.
- There are <em>three</em> essential rules to find out the significant figures in a given number:
- <u>Rule 1</u>: Non-zero digits such are always significant.
- <u>Rule 2</u>: The zeroes after a non-zero number in decimal are also significant. An example is if the number is 0.0500 then the zeroes after 5 are considered significant, however, the zeroes before 5 are not significant.
- <u>Rule 3:</u> The zeroes placed between any two significant digits are also considered as significant e.g in 202 the zero is significant.
- Therefore, in the number 0.020 km, there are <em>two</em> significant digits, one is 2 and the other is the last zero placed after 2.
