A culture of bacteria enters the exponential growth phase with 4,596 cells per mL. After 15 hours, there are 206,104,972 cells p

er mL. What is the instantaneous growth rate constant, with units of 1/hours, for this culture? Express your answer as an exponent rounded to two decimal places. For example 0.66666 would be entered as 6.67E-1

Answer:

The Growth rate constant (k) will be = 5.16 \times 10^-03  per minute or 0.308  per hour.

Explanation:

Given,

N₀ = 4596 cells / ml

N = 206104972 cells / ml

t = 15 hours

We know that,

                  n = 3.3 \times log  \frac {b}{B}

Where,

n = no. of generation during the period of exponential growth.

∴    n = 3.3 \times log  \frac {b}{B}

       = 3.3 \times log \frac {206104972} {4596}

       = 3.3 × 44844.42

∴   n  = 15.350

We know that,

                 g = \frac {t} {n}

Where,

g =  generation time    

t = duration of exponential growth

∴    g = \frac {t} {n}                             or                ∴    g = \frac {t} {n}

         =  \frac {15 \times 60} {15.350}                                               = 15 / 15.350

          = 900 / 15.350                           ∴  g  = 0.977 hours

∴      g  = 58.63 minutes

We know that,    

               k = 0.301 / g

Where,   k = specific growth rate

∴    k = 0.301 / g                       or                      ∴   k = 0.301 / g  

           = 0.301 / 58.63                                            = 0.301 / 0.977

∴      k   = 5.16 \times 10^-03  per minutes             ∴  k   = 0.308 per hour

Fossil fuels are normally stored in a reservoir deep in the Earth. The carbon in fossil fuels, including coal and oil, are essen
ASHA 777 [7]
One risk for accessing carbon from the ground is that it may cause soil contamination. Soil when exposed to large amount of gases and other organically decaying materials can absorb these into their make-up. Fossil fuels are extracted from the ground through drilling processes. When the drilling is unsuccessful, pockets created within the soil can create areas for contamination. When soil is contaminated by fossil fuels, it can no longer be use for agricultural purposes.

Simply, transcription is a copy of __________
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

b. mRNA from DNA

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using a DNA template strand. The process of transcription occurs inside the nucleus in eukaryotes as their DNA is present in the nucleus.

The process includes unwinding of DNA double helix to expose the DNA template strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the specific start sites on the DNA template strand and starts making its RNA copy.

The newly formed RNA undergoes modification in eukaryotes before serving as a template for protein synthesis. However, in prokaryotes, the process of transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.
