On average, activated yeast cells divide once every 120 minutes; that is, each individual cell divides into two individual cells

over that time span. Given that a certain yeast colony consisted of 310,000 cells two hours ago, approximately how many cells will be populating the colony six hours from now?

Answer:

The correct answer is 4,960,000

Explanation:

If a yeast cell divides into two yeast cells in 120 minutes that means a yeast cell needs 2 hours to get double. So according to the question 2 hours ago a yeast colony consisted of 310,000 cells that means the present colony should have 620,000 cells.

So after six hours from now, this population will divide three times in six hours because the generation time of yeast cell is 2 hour and each time the number of cells will double.

Therefore, in first time the number will increase to 1,240,000(620000*2), the second time the number will increase to 2,480,000(1240000*2) and after final division, the number will be 4,960,000(2480000*2).

Therefore after 6 hours from now, the approximate number of yeast cells will be 4,960,000.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

1 A - Resveratrol is a type of flavonoid found in red wine.

2 E - Alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol to acetaldehyde

3 B - The specific alcoholic substance found in beer, wine, and spirits is called ethanol

4 C - Toasting and drinking with friends and coworkers at a pub after work to celebrate a colleague's promotion would be considered an example of social drinking

5 F - blood alcohol concentration increases when alcohol consumption exceeds the rate of metabolism of the alcohol by the liver.

6 D - The alcohol in beer and wine comes from the fermentation of sugar by yeast.

7 G - Moderate consumption for females would consist of one standard drink daily.

Explanation:

Resveratrol is a polyphenol that can be found mainly in grape seeds, black grape and red wine.

Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH) are a set of enzymes that are part of alcohol metabolism in different organisms. It can be classified as oxirreductase which has nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) as its acceptor and its main function is, in liver cell cytosol, to oxidize ethanol to acetaldehyde which will be later oxidized to acetate by the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase .

Fermentation is the process that turns sugars into alcohol and CO2.

Suppose a cell's Golgi apparatus does not function properly. How might this problem affect other cells?
If the cell manufactures proteins that are normally released to travel to other cells. Those cels would not receive the proteins. The loss of these proteins might cause the "receiver" cells to function poorly.
