The main purpose of a nociceptor is to respond to damage to the body by transmitting signals to the spinal cord and brain. There are two types of nociceptor: A delta fibres: activated by high threshold mechanoreceptors. thinly myelinated. Unmyelinated C-fibres: activated by polymodal nociceptors(PMN) and respond to intense mechanical stimulation, high temperatures and irritant chemicals.

trapecia [35]
While Louis Pasteur was the one that procured the germ theory of disease that explains that diseases are caused by microorganisms, the first researcher that provided direct experimental data to support the said theory is Robert Koch. 

Robert Koch developed a criteria for the causality of disease from microorganisms called the Koch's postulates. The Koch's postulates indicate that:

(1) The bacteria must be present in every case of the disease
(2) <span>The bacteria must be extracted and isolated from the host with the disease and should be directly visualized and/or grown in culture
(3) There must be a healthy experimental host that will reproduce the disease once the isolated bacteria is injected
(4) The bacteria should be recoverable from the previously healthy host

You are given a 1 liter bacterial culture in exponential stage of growth. The generation time of the bacteria is known to be 30
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by 2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

<u>Initial population</u>

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

<u>Generation time</u>

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have- <u> </u>\frac{300}{30}= 10 generations

<u>New bacterial population</u>

Using formula<u>  </u>2^{number of generation} x initial population of bacteria

2^{10} x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
