One of the reasons bacteria can be so deadly is because they multiply very quickly. E. coli has a doubling time of around 15 min

utes. This means that if 100 bacteria are left alone for 2 hours, they will multiply to become:
12,400 Bacteria
18,400 Bacteria
25,600 Bacteria
36,600 Bacteria

Answer:

The correct answer is - 25600 bacteria.

Explanation:

Bacteria can divide and produce double their population very quickly. As mentioned in the question bacteria multiply every 15 minutes to their double number. Finding the number of bacteria after 2 hours is simple mathematics. Two hours means 120 minutes and dividing it to 15. The result will be 8 which mean the bacteria double their colony 8 time so,

100×2 to the power 8 = 100 (initial number of bacteria)×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2= 25600

Thus, the correct answer is option- 25600 bacteria.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>
