You start off with 100 E. coli cells known to divide every 20 minutes. Based on this information and using formulas for exponent

ial growth (Nt = No2n), growth constant (k = n/t (gen/hr), and generation time (g = t/n or 1/g (hr/gen), calculate the following: a. From the given information, what is the generation time? Remember it’s the length of time (in hours) for the population to double.

Answer:

21 minutes or 0.35 hours

Explanation:

The formula for exponential population growth is

A = A_0* e^{kt}\\

where

A_0 = initial population of E.coli i.e 100

k is the rate of population growth i.e 2 as the population doubles

t is the time period i.e 20 minutes

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

A = 100 * e^{2 * \frac{20}{60} }\\\\A = 195

Generation time

G = \frac{t}{3.3 * log \frac{194}{100} } \\G = \frac{t}{0.949} \\G= 21 minutes

or 0.35 hours

What is the likeliest limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deep
serg [7]

Quality of light is the limiting factor restricting phytoplankton to approximately the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper

Explanation:

When sun rays pass through the water in the oceans, they are quickly diffused and cannot penetrate very deep into the deep water layers. Remember that phytoplanktons are photosynthetic organisms and hence require sunlight to manufacture their own food. They, therefore, cannot grwo in deeper layers of the oceans. They are only found in the photic zone.

The quality of light is especially of most importance and hence the major limiting factor. Red light, of longer wavelength, and which is the major wavelength of light that is used the most by photosynthetic organisms, diffuses very fast than blue light when it passes through water. Therefore the more reason phytoplankton is found in the top ten feet of the ocean, rather than deeper.
