How many bacteria will there be after four hours from a single bacterium that divides to produce two cells every 15 minutes

Biology
1 answer:
Andreyy893 years ago
7 0

Answer:

65,536 cells

Explanation:

According to the question, a single bacterium will divide into new cells every 15minutes. Since there are four 15 minutes in one hour, which is 60 minutes, a single bacterium will have divided (4×60/15) times =

= 240/15

= 16 times.

Since a single bacterium will divide 16 times in four hours cells, then in four hours, a single bacterium will have divided into 2^16 = 65536 new cells.

Note that, the number of cells a bacterium cell that will divide in two can be expressed as 2^n where n is the number of times

Answer:

Capillary refill time

Explanation:

Capillary refill time refers to the time that it takes for color to return to an external capillary bed after pressure has been applied (which causes blanching). Usually, on healthy individuals, capillary refill time takes less than 2 seconds. If the time is much longer, this could indicate problems such as shock, dehydration or peripheral artery disease.

Identify the answer below that is NOT a function of a protein.

Insulation and long-term energy storage

The function of FATS is insulation and long-term energy storage. Excess glucose in the body is converted to fats and then stored in certain location like liver, around the heart, and under the skin. The fats are converted back to glucose during starvation. Fats are deposited under the skin to provide insulation against heat loss.

Explanation:

Proteins are the mains structural molecules in the body. They are coded for by the DNA in cells that instruct how these proteins should be manufactured. Proteins make up the muscle tissues, most enzymes, antibodies, hormones, hair, nails, and etcetera. Protein is broken down for energy as a last resort during total starvation (when fat deposits have been exhausted) and when this happens it leads to body wastage. Glucose is the main energy source of cells.
