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

lys-0071 [83]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

a. one allele from each parent

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

An allele in biological sciences is one of the possible forms of a gene that it can inherit. Most genes have two alleles, a dominant allele and a recessive allele. When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent.

Answer:

1. in animal cell and 3. in plant cell In animals mitochondria transforms energy and chloroplast in plant cell  absorb energy from sun light and turns water and carbon dioxide into glucose

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria: It is the powerhouses of a cell oval in shape found in eukaryotic cell.Its a site of cellular respiration. It converts glucose in chemical energy known as ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). ATP provides energy to carry out cellular function by breaking high energy bond.Mitochondria are abundant in cells requires energy to perform functions such as muscle and liver cells.

2. Chloroplast: In plants and algae chloroplast is a site of photosynthesis,it contains a pigment chlorophyll which captures energy from sunlight and turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose as food of plants.

During the S phase in the cell cycle, the chromosomes are replicated so that there are two copies. These copies are necessary so that each daughter cell created during the M phase will have an identical copy of the DNA.

Therefore, the answer is A: The DNA must be replicated. 


The chromosomes joining, cell membrane expanding, and cytoplasm separating all happen during the M phase (mitosis).

HELP!!! How does the Galápagos penguin compare to the cold adapted emperor penguin of Antarctica?
skad [1K]
<h3><u>Comparison between Galapagos penguin and cold adapted Emperor penguin of Antarctica:</u></h3>

<u>Galapagos penguin:</u>

  • Galapagos penguins are the only species of penguins that live north of the Equator.
  • The Galapagos penguins breed all-round the year.
  • The Galapagos penguins are smaller compared to the cold-adapted emperor penguins of Antarctica.
  • The breeding and nesting place of the Galapagos penguins lie on the shoreline.

<u>Emperor penguin:</u>

  • The emperor penguins live and adapt to the cold Antarctic environment.
  • The Emperor penguins breed only during the Antarctic winters.  
  • The nesting of emperor penguins is on ice cliffs and icebergs where the eggs are protected from the strong and cold Antarctic winds.
  • However, both of these species of penguins are at risk of extinction due to the rise in temperature and shortage of foods.
