Suppose that the number of newborns (N) in an insect population can be predicted from the number of adult insects (I) according

to the following equation, where r and b are variables related to the rates of population growth: N=rI−bI2. Calculate N if r=1.5, b=0.0015, and I=500. Rounding to the nearest whole number, N equals which of the following?
a) 1880
b) 375
c) 188
d) 749

Answer:

d: 749

Explanation:

From the equation, N = rl - bl2, where N is the number of newborns, l is the number of adult insects, and r and b are variables; with all the components given, N can be calculated by direct substitution.

Since r = 1.5, b = 0.0015, and l = 500, therefore, substitute for r, b, and l to get N such that;

N = 1.5(500) - (0.0015)(500)2

         750 - 1.5

N = 748.5

Rounding to the nearest whole number. N = 749.

<em>The correct answer is d.</em>

Glucose is broken down in the chemical processes of aerobic respiration.
Papessa [141]

\bold{\huge{\purple{\underline{ Answer }}}}

<u>Aerobic </u><u>respiration </u>:- Aerobic respiration is process of respiration in which complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen

<u>That </u><u>is</u><u>, </u>

<u>Aerobic </u><u>respiration </u><u>is </u><u>takes </u><u>place </u><u>in </u><u>four </u><u>stages </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

  • <u>Glycolysis</u>
  • <u>The </u><u>link </u><u>reaction </u>
  • <u>The </u><u>Krebs </u><u>cycle </u>
  • <u>Oxidative </u><u>phosphorylation </u>

In aerobic respiration, Glucose with 6 carbon atoms broken into 2 pyruvic acid each with 3 carbon atom and produces water + CO2 + energy.

<h3><u>Whereas</u><u>, </u></h3>

<u>Anaerobic </u><u>respiration </u>:- is the process of respiration in which incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place in the absence of oxygen

The end products of glucose in anaerobic respiration is

  • <u>In </u><u>human </u><u>muscles</u><u>, </u><u> </u><u>Lactic </u><u>acid </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>Energy </u>
  • <u>In </u><u>yeast</u><u>, </u><u>Ethanol </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>CO2</u><u> </u><u>+</u><u> </u><u>Energy </u>

<u>Hence</u><u>, </u><u>Option </u><u>D </u><u>is </u><u>the </u><u>correct </u><u>answer</u><u>.</u>
