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

HELP FAST! PHYSICAL SCIENCE salt is added to a flask of water. the flask is sealed and shaken for several minutes.After being sh
densk [106]

Answer:the following can be done to allow more NaCl to dissolve;

1.) heating the mixture.

2.) Addition of extra water to the solution.

Explanation:

When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the polar water molecules are able to work their way in between the individual ions in the lattice. The water molecules surround the negative chloride ions and positive sodium ions and pull them away into the solution. This process is called dissociation. Now when the solution is heated, the rate of the dissociation between the two molecules increases leading to more dissolution of NaCl. Also in the absence of heating, more Water molecules can be added to the solution to decrease it's saturation thereby favouring the dissolution of more NaCl.

There is general agreement that species classified as Homo should share all of these characteristics EXCEPT
butalik [34]

Large brain size, small and flat face, small jaws and teeth, exploitation of diversity are some common features of <em>homo </em>species. <em>Different</em><em> </em><em>homo </em>species have different shapes of skulls.

Homo, genus of the family Hominidae (order Primates), is distinguished by a relatively large cranial capacity, limb structure adapted to a habitual erect posture and a bipedal gait, well-developed and fully opposable thumbs, hands capable of power and precision grips, and the ability to make standardized precision tools by combining one tool with another.

<em>Different </em><em>Homo </em>species are differentiate from skull shapes. Their body shapes also tends to vary. This is due to different environment conditions in different time zones.

However,<em> Homo</em> species show many common characteristics such as Large brain size, small and flat face, small jaws and teeth.

BRAINLIEST!! According to embryology, why do fish and birds have a common ancestor?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Both fish and bird embryos exhibit gill slits and a tail.

Explanation:

According to embryology, all vertebrates exhibit similar traits and structures at their embryonic stage. It becomes very difficult to differentiate between the embryos of a fish, and that of a bird, or embryo of a fish, and a human. These traits, however, disappear, as the case may be, as the embryo develops into an adult. For example, in the case of the embryo of a fish, and a bird, both shows gills slits at their respective embryonic stage. However, the gill slits in fish develop into gills, whereas in the case of birds, it disappears as the embryo develops into an adult.
