First answer is A
Second answer is C
Here is a list showing how the bacteria grows:
Begin - 15
1st hour - 30
2nd hour - 60
3rd hour - 120
4th hour - 240
5th hour - 480
6th hour - 960
7th hour - 1,920
8th hour - 3,840
9th hour - 7,680
10th hour - 15,360
11th hour - 30,720
12th hour - 61,440
As you can see, the number of bacteria present is doubled at the end of each hour, as the question states. However, the question is not asking for the total number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour; it is asking for the bacteria GROWN during the 12th hour.
Because there were 30,720 bacteria at the end of the 11th hour, and 61,440 at the end of the 12th, the number of bacteria that grew during that last hour must be 61,440 - 30,720 = 30,720 bacteria.
(P.S. the answer would be 61,440 if it was asking for the TOTAL number of bacteria at the end of the 12th hour)
Answer:
Folic acid
Explanation:
The congenital neurologic abnormalities refer to the abnormalities which are present in the infant at the time of the birth like neural tube defects in the given question.
There could be many factors responsible for this like consumption of drugs and alcohol, exposure to mutagens or carcinogens, inadequate amount of folic acid and many others.
Folic acid is a type of Vitamin B which is involved in the production of new cells so are advised to the pregnant lady during and before conception. Consumption of folic acid reduces the chances of birth defects.
Thus, Folic acid is the correct answer.
Answer:
Neutrophils
Explanation:
In this case of a ruptured appendix and peritontis, the neutrophils are more likely to be elevated above normal value because:
1. They are the most abundant white blood cells (WBCs), about 60%-70% of the total white blood cell count.
2. they help to defend the body against fungal and bacterial infections and heal tissues that are damaged. The most likely infection to occur from a ruptured appendix is a bacterial infection.
Other WBCs like eosinophil is involved in parasitic infection; basophil is involved in allergic reaction; while monocyte is involved in phagocytosis.
