Answer:

30 minutes

Explanation:

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission, a process by which one parent cell divides to form 2 progeny cells. Because one cell produces 2 progeny cells, bacteria are said to undergo exponential ( logarithmic) growth.

As in the case of staphylococcus aureus, we start with 100 cells ,  and after 90 minutes number becomes 800 that means  , firstly the cells doubled (100 x 2 = 200 ) after 30 minutes. Again after 30 minutes they doubled ( 200 x 2 =400 ) and again after 30 minutes they doubled (400 x 2 = 800). So in 90 minutes 100 cells became 800 cells.

Hence the generation time for S.aureus is 30 minutes.

What are the major types of mountains?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>Folded, fault block, volcanic.</u>

Explanation:

<u>The main types of mountains are</u>: Folded, fault block, volcanic and upwarped.

Folded mountains. These types of mountains tend to change constantly depending on their complexity, however they always conform to the basic type.

Volcanic mountains. It is about the mountains that come to form when a volcano erupts.

Domes. These mountains are created by domed strata, as a granitic intrusion is generated.

Mountains in block. These are large-scale structural failures. These inside are usually folded and tend to have failures.

Plateau mountains. These are created when there is activity in the deepest of the earth's crust. They are formed with the deep channels that the current water produces, where the rivers can cut any table regardless of their depth, thus producing high-rise mountains.

<em><u>The answer is</u></em>: <u>Folded, fault block, volcanic.</u>
