Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.

Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.  

A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.

This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.

Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.

Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.

Escherichia coli has a doubling time of 30 minutes. If a culture has 10 E. coli cells at the beginning of log phase, how many E.
Nat2105 [25]

80 E. coli cells will be in the culture after two hours.

<h3>What is culture?</h3>

The development of the human, plant, or animal cells in a lab, as well as microorganisms like bacteria and yeast. Cell cultures can be used for research, medication testing, and infection diagnosis.

Primary (mortal) cultures and cultures of established (immortal) cell lines are the two main categories of cultures.

One of the most crucial methods in cellular and molecular biology is cell culture because it offers a platform for studying the biology, biochemistry, physiology, metabolism, and other aspects of both healthy and diseased cells.

A culture of 10 E. coli cells.

Incubation time = 2 hours = 120min

Doubling time = 30min (120/30 = 4)

So, 1 cell - 30min = 2 cells - 30min = 4 cells - 30min = 8 cells - 30min

Therefore, 8 ₓ 10  = 80cells of E. coli at the end of 2 hours of incubation time.

How do plate tectonics support evolution?
Amanda [17]
Plate tectonic processes such as the redistribution of continents, growth of mountain ranges, formation of land bridges, and opening and closing of oceans provide a continuous but moderate environmental pressure that stimulates populations to adapt and evolve.
