Bacteria multiply by division. One bacterium becomes two. Then two divide into four, the four divide into eight, and so on. For

a certain strain of bacteria, the time for this division process is one minute. If you put one bacterium in a bottle at 11:00 p.m., by midnight the entire bottle will be full.
1. At what time will the bottle be half full? t realize that 2. Suppose you could be a bacterium in this bottle. At what tim you were running out of space? Explain your response.

Answer:

1) By 11:30pm

2) Shortly before midnight (few minutes to 12:00am)

Explanation:

Since the strain of bacteria takes 1 minute to divide (double its population), and by midnight (12:00am) the entire bottle becomes full, then:

I) Subtract Initial division time from Final division time i.e 12:00 - 11:00 = 1 hour

II) Split 1 hour into two (60minutes makes 1 hour)

I hour/2 = 30 minutes

Definitely, the bottle will be half filled by 11:30pm

2) Once half filled, the rapidly dividing cells reach for the top of the bottle as midnight approaches. By 11:50pm upwards, bottle space must have been running out

Why would competition be considered a limiting factor within a ecosystem
raketka [301]

Answer

The main reason being the amount of food available.

Explanation:

Think of it this way:

That is why its considered a limiting factor.

describe how the cell structures can be used to classify the cell as either prokaryotes or eukaryotes
Iteru [2.4K]

Depending on the structure of cells (shapes and organelles) we can differentiate cells and therefore create different groups and classifications based on their differences and functions.

The eukaryote-prokaryote division bases itself on the possesion of a nucleus that creates a boundary for the genetic materifal. In this case, eukaryotes have it while prokaryotes don't.

Hope it helped,

Why is retinoblastoma more common in individuals who have inherited the RB deletion and have the genetic predisposition for reti
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Retinoblastoma is more common in people due to the mutation of RB gene in them.

Explanation:

Retinoblastoma is a disease that affects the eyes of an individual. It is more commonly eye cancer which occurs on the retina of the eye. Retinoblastoma mainly affects younger children.

When the RB gene is mutated or it is deleted already on any one of a homologous chromosomes, then only one hit rather that two which is needed to cause the development of retinoblastoma and hence the probability is of retinoblastoma to occur is higher in the individuals who have already inherited the RB deletion and also have a genetic predisposition for the retinoblastoma.
