<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

It controls the heart rate by producing electrical impulses

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

It controls the heart rate by producing electrical impulses and later transmitting electrical signals through the heart muscle, creating the heart to contract and pump blood everywhere into the body. The heartbeat originates from the S.A. node and expands to the walls of auricles which contract.

SA Node<span> which is also known as the sinus node, is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It controls the heart rate by generating electrical impulses and then sending electrical signals through the heart muscle, causing the heart to contract and pump blood throughout the body. </span>

The SA Node is located in the outer layer of the right atrium of the heart, near the superior vena cava. It is made up of a group of cells (myocytes) positioned on the wall of the right atrium, at the center of the heart and near the entrance of the superior vena cava. These cells contract at a rate of about 70-80 times per minute, which make up the natural heart beat.

You are given a 1 liter bacterial culture in exponential stage of growth. The generation time of the bacteria is known to be 30

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

<u>Initial population</u>

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

<u>Generation time</u>

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have- <u> </u> $\frac{300}{30}$ = 10 generations

<u>New bacterial population</u>

Using formula<u> </u> $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria

$2^{10}$ x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

How are carbohydrate polymers formed?

Lostsunrise [7]

The are formed by cells building carbohydrates polymers, they use energy to form glycosidic linkages..the bonds between monosaccarides...which is made by joining two specific monomers, glucose and fructose.
