A population of bacteria is treated with an antibiotic. It is estimated that 5,000 live bacteria existed in the sample before tr

eatment. After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. Which best describes the graph of the function that represents the number of live bacteria after x days of treatment?
A. f(x) = 5000(0.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

B. f(x) = 5000(0.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

C. f(x) = 5000(1.4)x, with a horizontal asymptote of y = 0

D. f(x) = 5000(1.6)x, with a vertical asymptote of x = 0

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step by step explanation:

The exponential function is defined as

f(x)=ab^x

Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor or decay factor.

The initial population of bacteria is 5000.

After each day of treatment, 40% of the sample remains alive. It means the growth factor or decay factor is

\frac{40}{100}=0.4

Therefore the required function is

f(x)=5000(0.4)^x

The horizontal asymptote is y=0 because

f(x)\rightarrow 0\text{ as }x\rightarrow\infty

Therefore option A is correct.

Behavior modification to reduce self-injurious behaviors has been most successful in programs that rely on the use of:________
SIZIF [17.4K]

Behavior modification is based on the principles of behaviorist B.F. Skinner's operant conditioning. This means that, in essence, Skinner found that reinforced behavior tends to be repeated and behavior that isn't reinforced tends to phase out.

Interventions or ways to decrease this behavior include reinforcement of alternative behaviors, reinforcement of incompatible behaviors, use of schedules to engage children, providing communication systems, decreasing academic demands, and providing replacement behaviors.

Some behavior modification techniques are-

  • Positive reinforcement.
  • Negative reinforcement.
  • Punishment.
  • Flooding.
  • Systematic desensitization.
  • Aversion therapy.
  • Extinction.

Behavior Modification Therapy

Within therapy, therapists using behavior modification therapy focus on specific goals with clients, which is changing certain maladaptive or undesirable behaviors in specific situations. During a first session, the therapist would listen to the client's concerns to see what the client needs or wants to change; this could be a phobia, overeating, a problem with focus and productivity, etc. The client and therapist would identify the specific problem to be solved and then figure out what steps are necessary to change the behavior gradually. The therapist and client develop a treatment plan.

The sequence of the mRNA complementary strand for the given sequence of the strand will be 'AUG CUU GAG GGG UCC'.

The name of the decoding process is translation, and ribosomes are involved in this process.

The process of the synthesis of protein begins with the process of transcription. In this process, the DNA is unwinded, and the RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region and transcribes the codon corresponding to the amino acids. The transcribed mRNA strand is then translated by the ribosomes. The ribosomes reads the codons and the tRNA brings and attaches the related amino acids in a sequence resulting in the formation of a protein.

The protein synthesis is crucial as the proteins are responsible for the structure and functions of the different cells of the body.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder, in which a point mutation changes the codon for the glutamic acid to valine. This leads to the formation of an abnormal shape of the hemoglobin which decreases the ability of it to efficiently transport oxygen.
