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

Which structure is common to plant and animal cells? 48) ______a) chloroplast
Lelechka [254]
<span> The answer is <span>centriole</span>

The majority of cells have mitochondrion as they need them for their respiration. Chloroplast is the structure plants use to produce their organic matter, the vacuole is very developed in plant cells and is central where as you usually have many vacuoles in animal cells, and the centriole is usually present in animal cells only as well as the wall of cellulose that wraps up the plant cell.</span>

In class we also talked about the metabolism of HDL particles.
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

The basis for the inverse relationship between number of matured HDL in circulation and and cardiovascular disease is that when new HDL entertainment circulation they mature by picking up extra cholesterol until they become mature and high cholesterol level is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The implication of this is that the more the number of matured HDL in circulation, the lower the cholesterol level in the blood thus the lower the risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.
