A loopful of bacteria containing 1000 bacterial cells is inoculated into a nutrient broth and incubated. After a negligible lag

phase, the culture goes into exponential growth for two hours. The generation time for the bacterium is fifteen minutes. Which equation is the correct one to determine the number of cells present after two hours of log phase growth?
a. 1000 X 28
b. 1000 X 16
c. 1000 X 22
d. 1000 X 2 X 2 X 15

Answer:

<h2>a.</h2>

Explanation:

Given;

Initial population of bacteria = 1000;

exponential growth for 2 hours;

generation time = 15 minutes;

so,

Bacteria are doubling in every fifteen minute,

In staring, there are 1000 bacteria and after fifteen minutes they become 2000 and after next fifteen minutes bacteria again doubles and become 4000   and so on for next two hours.

so after 2 hours, number of cells of  bacteria present are 1000 X 2^8

Total bacterial cells after two hours= 256000.

Besides predators, there are other living organisms in an ecosystem that interact with a population that can cause natural selec
Nikolay [14]
Interspecific competition can occur between two different species competing for the same resource in an ecosystem. So for this particular bug population, there may be another insect species that competes for the same food source or another resource, such as material or space for breeding habitat. This can lead to selective pressure, and may result in the different species evolving a more specific diet or inhabiting a niche environment.

Explain why you would sooner be hit by a ping pong ball vs a baseball. Use all the terms: force mass and acceleration!!
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Because the ping pong ball has a lesser mass than a baseball; hence the ping pong ball will accelerate faster than the baseball when a constant force is applied to both

Explanation:

The force applied to an object is a product of its mass and acceleration i.e. F=ma. According to Newton's second law of motion, the relationship between the mass of an object and its acceleration when force is applied to it was described.

In a summary, the second law states that that the acceleration of an object increases with increased force and decreases with increased mass. This means that the more the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to make it accelerate and also the more the mass, the lesser it accelerates.

In this case, a ping pong ball has a lesser mass compared to a baseball, hence, it will accelerate faster than the baseball assuming an equal force was applied. Since the ping pong ball will accelerate faster, it will hit a person faster than the baseball.
