Answer:

5 * 10^{10}

Explanation:

The question is not complete. Remaining part of the question is as follows - Minimal growth medium for bacteria such as E. coli includes various salts with  characteristic concentrations in the mM range and a carbon source. The carbon source is  typically glucose and it is used at 0.5% (a concentration of 0.5 g/100 mL). For nitrogen,  minimal medium contains ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) with a concentration of 0.1 g/100 mL

How many cells can be grown in a 5 mL culture using minimal medium before the medium exhausts the carbon?

Solution -

We will first find the mass concentration of 0.5 g/100 mL of solution.

\frac{0.5}{100} gram per ml of glucose

The chemical formula of glucose is C_6H_{12}O_6

The molecular weight of glucose molecule is 180 grams per mole

Now, we will find the number of moles of glucose in a 5 ml medium -

\frac{\frac{0.5}{100} * 5}{180} \\1.39 * 10^{-4} mole

The number of carbon atom in each glucose molecule is equal to six, thus, number of minimal carbon mole is equal to

1.39 * 10^{-4} * 6\\= 8.34* 10^{-4}mole

Number of carbon atoms is equal to

8.34* 10^{-4} * 6.023 * 10^{23}\\= 5 * 10^{20}\\ Carbons

One bacteria has 10^{10} carbon molecule.Thus, 5 ml medium will have 5 * 10^{10} bacteria

Which of the following is/are common to chemiosmosis and the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis? electron transport onl
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Both electron transport and a proton gradient

Explanation:

The process of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and electron transport chain in photosynthesis undergo chemiosmosis to produce ATP molecules.

Chemiosmosis is a process where the energy utilized by the movement of proton and electrons produces ATP molecules.

Both the processes involve the movement of electrons through electron carriers where the reduced energy is utilized to drive the flow of protons through the plasma membrane. This creates a proton gradient across the plasma membrane which rotates the ATP synthase and converts the ADP molecules into ATP molecules.

Thus, the selected option is correct.
