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

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. C6H12O6 -> 2 C3H4O3+2 H+

Explanation:

Glycolysis occurs in both the condition aerobic and anaerobic so it does not require oxygen. In glycolysis, one glucose molecule is converted into two pyruvate( 2 C3H4O3) and two 2 ATP, 2NADH, and 2 H₂O are produced.

Initially, 2NAD⁺ is produced during glycolysis which is reduced to produce 2NADH and 2 H⁺. Therefore the correct equation is  C6H12O6 -> 2 C3H4O3+2 H+.

Then this pyruvate is used in the Kreb cycle which is required for the complete breakdown of glucose into carbon dioxide and water and this process occurs in aerobic conditions. Complete oxidation is important to produce more energy from partially oxidized glucose.

A nerve poison that blocked neurotransmitter receptors on the dendrites would __________. inactivate the enzyme that degrades th
Svet_ta [14]

The correct answer is: prevent reception of a signal in a receiving neuron

Neurotransmitters are signal molecules or chemical messengers which transmit signals across a chemical synapse. Neurotransmitters send the signal, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another neuron, from neuron to muscle cell (motor plate), or from neuron to gland cell.

Drugs that bind to neurotransmitter’s receptor can have two effects on its action:

• Antagonists-they bind to receptor and thus prevent a neurotransmitter from binding to it

• Agonists-they bind to receptor and mimic the normal neurotransmitter (have the same effect as neurotransmitter).
