Determine whether the statement is true or false. Suppose P(t) represents the population of bacteria at time t and suppose P'(t)
> 0 and P''(t) < 0; then the population is increasing at time t but at a decreasing rate. True
1 answer:
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
If the population follows a logistic growth curve, the graph of P vs t will look like the diagram below.
The rate of growth (P') increases slowly at first, then increases rapidly from 2 to 4, and then slows down, but always P > 0.
The graph has an inflection point at (3, 1000). That's the point at which the rate of growth starts slowing down.
When t < 3, P'' > 0.
When t = 3, P'' = 0.
When t > 3, P'' < 0, because the rate of population growth is slowing down.
Thus, if the population is in the final phase of logistic growth, the population is increasing at a decreasing rate (TRUE)..

Explanation:
The enzymatic digestion of starch by amylase can be performed in the laboratory by several ways. But below there is an example of it
In order to have the best protein performance we have to set the temperature of the reaction to 37 celsius degrees.
- Prepare a starch solution and spread into tubes
- Prepare an amylase solution and spread into tubes
- Adjust the pH to the optimum range with buffers, that is about 6.7 to 7.
- Adjust the temperature of the tubes reaction to 37 celsius degrees.
The wrong temperature and the pH can unfold the enzymes and make the binding site inefficient.
- Pipette the starch solution in the tubes with enzymes.
By the final step the glucose will be produced by the enzymatic digestion of amylase.
