Answer: 2.81 x 10∧14 baterias after 16 hours.

Explanation:

Hi, first we have to find how many 20 minute intervals are in 16 hours.

If 1 hour = 60 min, 16hours = 960 minutes (16 h x 60 min / 1 h)

If we divide the 960 minutes (16 hours) by 20 minutes we obtain 48. (960/48)

There are 48 twenty minutes intervals in 16 hours.

Now we have to apply the exponential growth formula:

P (t) = Po (1 +r) ∧t

Where:  

P (t) = population at time t  

P (0) = initial population (1)

r = growth rate (1)

t = time (48)

Replacing with the values given:

P (t) = 1 (1 + 1) ∧48= 2.81 x 10∧14

2.81 x 10∧14 baterias after 16 hours.

6. Why do some minerals grow into large, well-defined crystals while others do not?
yan [13]

Answer:

Mineral crystals that form when magma cools slowly are larger than crystals that form when lava cools rapidly. Minerals form when rocks are heated enough that atoms of different elements can move around and join into different molecules.

How are bacteria able to regulate their genes by two types of operons?
Aleks04 [339]

Operons are the functional units of transcription and genetic regulation. These are found in bacteria and their viruses where genes coding for functionally related proteins are grouped along the DNA.

The two types of operons are- inducible and repressible.

They regulate the genes as in negative inducible operons, a regulatory repressor protein is bound to the operator. It prevents the transcription of the genes on the operon. If positive inducer is present, it binds to the repressor and changes its conformation so it is unable to bind to the operator.
