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.

The largest amount of carbon dioxide is transported in the bloodstream in the form of carbonic anhydrase. True False
motikmotik

Answer: False, it is transported as bicarbonate

Explanation: Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme belonging to the family of metalloenzymes that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to ions and carbonic acid. This enzyme is found in red blood cells where carbon dioxide enters by diffusion. Once it diffuses through it is then converted by carbonic anhydrase to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.

That is how its transported in bloodstream, passes through the heart via the venous system, to the lungs. Therefore the answer is False.

What is the Hepatic Portal Vein?​
belka [17]

Answer: The hepatic portal vein is one of the most important vein that receives blood from the body and transports it into the liver for filtration and processing. This vein is part of the hepatic portal system that receives all of the blood draining from the abdominal digestive tract, as well as from the pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen.

‘Hepatic’ means of or relating to the liver, therefore the hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel that sends nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver, but also delivers toxins to the liver that will be chemically modified in the proces of detoxication

The two are potassium and rubidium. Why? Na is an alkali metal. As you go down the metals become more reactive. 
Calcium has 20 protons. Why? The atomic # is 20 (the one at the top).
It has 20 neutrons. Why? The atomic mass (the number on the bottom) is ~40, ignoring electron mass. 40- 20 protons = 20 neutrons. 
It has 20 electrons. 
Why? The # of protons and electrons is the same. Ions aren't on the periodic table.
