Answer:

p(t)=100e^ln5.7t

Explanation:

The growth rate of bacteria is directly proportional to its size and shows the exponential growth. The initial bacteria amount is 100 and later increased to 570.

The number of bacteria after t hours is

p(t)=100e^kt where k is the relative growth rate. and t is the time.

Here p (t) = 570 and t = 1 hour, then K =

 420=100e^k(1)  

K = ln(5.7)

Put the value of K in original equation then,

p(t)=100e^ln(5.7)t

Thus, the expression for the number of bacteria after t hours is p(t)=100e^ln(5.7)t .

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just can
Wittaler [7]

Katie has a rare neurological disease in which her neurons can receive new information and process it, but some of them just cannot pass the information along. This disease most likely affects the axon of the neurons. Since axon is the signal transmitting end of the neuron, if the fusion of the vesicles containing the neurotransmitters with the cell membrane around the synaptic cleft is hampered, then the signal transmission gets disrupted.

Based on the model of cellular transport, the hydrolysis of ATP and ADP provide a mechanism for
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>Cellular transport is the movement of ions or molecules across the membrane of the cell through either active or passive process.</em>

Explanation:

During active transport, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is used. In passive transport, ATP is not used. In active cellular transport, the ions move across the membrane against the concentration gradient.

For ATP to be used, it has to get hydrolyzed thereby forming ADP and inorganic phosphate. On the other hand, ADP captures the energy through the oxidation process taking place in the cell.

What is TRUE about the North and South Poles? Select all that apply.
Romashka [77]

The poles never get any direct sunlight.

They both get the same amount of sunlight.

  • Because they receive no direct sunshine, the Arctic (North Pole) and Antarctic (South Pole) are both chilly.
  • Even at the height of summer, the Sun is low on the horizon. The Sun doesn't rise at all for several months during the winter since it is so deep below the horizon hence poles don't have equal amounts of sunlight and darkness.
  • The poles receive less energy and heat from the sun because of the tilt of the earth and its orbit around the sun. There are just two polar seasons as a result: summer and winter.
  • The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Poles to experience around six months of day and six months of night.
  • Due to this tilt, each Pole spends roughly six months angled both toward and away from the Sun. The North Pole experiences six months of nonstop daylight when it is inclined toward the Sun.
  • In the winter, the Sun sets for extended periods of time since it is so deep below the horizon. Therefore, the days are chilly and dark, much like the nights. The South Pole and North Pole receive the same amount of sunshine despite being "polar opposites."
