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

Which of the following describes prophase of mitosis?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Daughter chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell.

Explanation:

Prophase is the beginning of cell division. At this stage, the CHROMATIN from which the chromosomes are formed thickens and twists spirally and CHROMOSOMES are formed which become visible under a microscope.

CENTRIOLS are organelles whose main role is to form a dividing spindle during cell division, now they separate and move towards the poles of the cell.

When they reach the poles, the threads of the dividing spindle are formed between them. Chromosomes are attached to these threads.

What happens when there is a temperature difference between two objects
agasfer [191]

Hey there!

If there is a temperature difference between two objects, the object that has a higher temperature will want to level out its heat. Therefore, it will transfer the heat it needs to the other object if it allows until they are the same temperature.

I hope this helps!
