Answer:

Tetanospasmin toxin; Pulmonary embolism

Explanation:

Clostridium tetani produce a toxin called tetanospasmin. Tetanospasmin is the strong neurotoxin that blocks the motor neurons that control the muscles. Which results in stiffness of muscles.

Tetanus toxin ca cause blockage of lung artery (pulmonary embolism) and thus can cause death by:

A population of kangaroos is growing at a rate of 2% per year, compounded continuously. If the growth rate continues, how many y
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer is 20 years.

Explanation:

It is given that the growing rate is 2% or 2/100 = 0.02

This rate got increased to 150%

The formula for exponential growth is:  

A = Pe^rt

Let the initial population be 100%

150 = 100.e^0.02*t

3/2 = e^0.02t

1.5 = e^0.02t

After taking log from both the sides:  

ln(1.5) = 0.02t * ln(e) [ln(e) = 1]

ln(1.5) = 0.02t

t = ln(1.5)/0.02

t = 20.27

Thus, it will take around 20 years for the size of the population to reach 150 percent of its present size on the basis of the exponential growth function.
