phase, the culture goes into exponential growth for two hours. The generation time for the bacterium is fifteen minutes. Which equation is the correct one to determine the number of cells present after two hours of log phase growth?a. 1000 X 28.
b. 1000 X 16.
c. 1000 X 22.
d. 1000 X 2 X 2 X 15.

Answer:

<h2>a.  1000 X 2^8</h2>

Explanation:

As given;

Initial population of bacteria= 1000;

Log phase growth is exponential phase, period in which bacteria gets double.

Generation time= 15 minutes;

it means, bacteria get double in every 15 minute,

so after 2 hours, bacteria will have 8 generation times;

so the final generation of bacteria is =1000 X 2^8.

Final bacterial generation after two hours = 256,000(1000 X 2^8)

When microbial action during decomposition in aquatic ecosystems removes too much oxygen, the body of water experiences .
pashok25 [27]

The body of water experiences eutrophication.  

The process of eutrophication takes place primarily in ecosystems with gradual changing waters, mainly in deep lakes. In the depths of the lake, where deposition of dead algae takes place, the aerobic bacteria, which feeds on them proliferate that in turn consumes more amount of oxygen.  

Though in the absence of enough circulation of water that is usually found in the case of deep lakes, the bottom of the lake is poorly oxygenated and the bacteria eventually deplete the oxygen found in the deep layers of water. Thus, they can no longer degrade all the dead organic matter and gets accumulated in the sediments. The lake is now considered to be aging.

givi [52]

The molecular biology technique of reverse genetics can be useful for determining the function of a gene.

<h3>What is reverse genetics?</h3>

Reverse genetics is method use in molecular biology to determine gene function in an organism

The procedure in reverse genetics involves modifying or certain nucleotide sequences in the DNA coding for a functional gene and then observing changes to the phenotype of the organism brought about by the modifications.

Therefore, reverse genetics can be useful for determining the function of a gene.

How could you use a microscope to help determine whether a specimen is a living or nonliving thing
lara [203]
<span><em>Whether living or non living:</em>
<em>When you put a sample of tissue under a microscope, if u can see a cell membrane, and can identify some cell structures like nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles etc. , it was living, if not, its a non living thing.</em></span>

<span><em>However some cells don't have a nucleus( eg. prokaryotic cells), but all cells have a cell membrane or some sort of protective covering to contain the cell's insides. </em></span>

<span><em>To check if your specimen maybe-once living, maybe-still living "something", is living, get a look at it through an electron microscope - thats the best microscope ever- and see if the mitochondria's making any ATP( adenosine triphosphate, source of energy for most organisms), if it does, its living. If not, no</em></span><em>n living. :)</em>
