An apple pie has 2 million (2 x 10^6) Staph. aureus cells in it. The food preparer did not wash his hands and probably inoculate

d the cream with 200 Staph. aureus. He also forgot to refrigerate it. If the pie was made 6 hours ago, how many generations have occurred? How long is each generation? Using the generation 2number of generations x initial number of bacteria = total # of bacteria present after n generations time you calculated, how many bacteria would be present after 8 hours at room temperature

Answer:

Explanation:

given cells at incubation = 2 million (2 x 10^6) Staph

cells at the start of incubation = 200 Staph

Total time =6hrs = 360minutes

Recalling that Number of generations = Log(cells at incubation) - Log (cells at the start of incubation)/0.301

  • Number of generations = Log 2000000 - log 200 /0.301

        = 20.93 generations.

  • hence generation time = total time/number of generations

        = 360/20.93 = 17.20minutes

as said, that the apple pie is left after 2hrs, it implies 8hrs (480minutes) will be the new total time; number of generations = total time / generation time

= 480/17.20minutes =  27.90 generations

  • hence total number of bacteria after 8hrs = 2^n generations x initial number of bacteria

       = 2^27.90 x 200 staph = 5.009 x 10^10 bacteria

Scurvy is a disease that until the nineteenth century was common among sailors and others whose diets were deficient in vitamin
alina1380 [7]
<h2>Scurvy </h2>

Explanation:

(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons

  • The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
  • Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
  • Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
  • Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
  • Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
  • α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
  • Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low;  enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive;  proline is not hydroxylated;  the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down;  defects in tissues that depend on collagen ; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising

(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now

British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
