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:

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 AND EXPLAIN PLZ:)
Rudik [331]

Answer:

The independent variable in the experiment is A. the jar covers.

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment represents the thing that the person conducting the experiment changes or alters.  One group in the experiment had covers (this represents the experimental group) and the other group had no cover (this represents the control group which was not exposed  to the independent variable).  Since the only thing that Redi changed between the two groups was whether or not the jars were covered, this represents the independent variable.

The number of jars and the contents of the jars were constant in both experiments, and the number of maggots on the meat is the dependent variable (the result of changing the independent variable).

Hope this helps!

Describe and explain the changes in electrical activity both in receptor and in the sensory neurone as increasing pressure is ap
blsea [12.9K]
<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>

What structures are found only in plant cells not in animal cells
