Conjugation and transformation are both kinds of horizontal gene transfer that allow a cell to receive and recombine external DNA. Conjugation involves physical contact between two bacteria using a pilus, through which a copy of plasmid DNA is transferred from the donor (F+) cell to the recipient (F-) cell. Transformation, on the other hand, is simple uptake of naked DNA into a recipient cell from the environment. The DNA usually comes from the leftovers of a dead cell.
B... These microbes are the foundation for life in hydrothermal vent ecosystems. Instead of using light energy to turn carbon dioxide into sugar like plants do, they harvest chemical energy from the minerals and chemical compounds that spew from the vents—a process known as chemosynthesis .

We don’t know cuz u don’t have any of the answers
Proteins
Proteins is the most thermogenic of all nutrients and macromolecules we eat. Thermogenesis is the generation of due to digestion and metabolism of food. Studies shows that proteins tend to be more thermogenic that carbohydrates and fats. This means that the calorie given of by proteins is converted and released as heat and less available for storage. This means that the stored energy formed from protein much of it is released as heat and unlike other macromolecules few of it is converted to a energy that can be stored.
Answer:
1) Recursive definition: 
2) At the beginning of the 4th interval
Explanation:
1)
The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is
Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so
And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.
This means that when n = 1,
And when n=2,
Applied recursively, we get
And substituting p0,
(1)
2)
Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are
bacteria.
This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as
By simplifying,
Which means that
However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.
