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.

Answer: Primary Sex characters

Explanation:

The primary sexual characters are associated with the growth of sexual organs such as uterus, vagina, penis and other reproductive organs in the human beings.

These organs are present in the body when the child is borne. This is because they grow when the child is inside the womb.

The development and maturation of these organs takes place during the later stages of life.

Masja [62]
<span>Active transport works to conserve homeostasis. When cells are doing something they typically receive a signal causing channels to open, which in turn lets in a flood of molecules down their chemical gradients. Hope this answers the question.</span>
