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>

Why do different proteins have their amino acids in different orders

The ability of vibrio cholerae to cause disease depends on a number of factors. What are general requirements for any organism t
Svetllana [295]
<h2>Disease </h2>

Explanation:

  • Pathogenicity is the ability to produce disease in a host organism
  • Microbes express their pathogenicity by means of their virulence, a term which refers to the degree of pathogenicity of the microbe
  • The relationship between a host and a pathogen is dynamic, since each modifies the activities and functions of the other
  • The outcome of such a relationship depends on the virulence of the pathogen and the relative degree of resistance or susceptibility of the host, due mainly to the effectiveness of the host defense mechanisms
  • Hence, general requirements for any organism to cause disease within a host are: evasion of host defenses , gaining access to the host via a portal of entry, adherence to host tissues
