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 three things determine the divisions of the ocean zones? REPLY ASAP!
kvasek [131]
Sunlight. Based on the sunlight you receive you have three zones.
1. Sunlight zone- There is enough sunlight here and photosynthesis can happen. More than 90% of marine animals live in this zone.
2. Twilight zone- A small amount of light is here and no plants grow here. The fish who live here are the ones who have adapted to the little light. Lantern fish is an example.
3. Midnight Zone- 90% of the ocean is in this group. It is entirely dark and the temperature is  freezing.
