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.

How does the Richter scale measure an earthquake?
USPshnik [31]

Richter's original magnitude scale (ML) was extended to observations of earthquakes of any distance and of focal depths ranging between 0 and 700 km. Because earthquakes excite both body waves, which travel into and through the Earth, and surface waves, which are constrained to follow the natural waveguide of the Earth's uppermost layers, two magnitude scales evolved - the MB and MS scales.

The standard body-wave magnitude formula is

MB = log10(A/T) + Q(D,h) ,

where A is the amplitude of ground motion (in microns); T is the corresponding period (in seconds); and Q(D,h) is a correction factor that is a function of distance, D (degrees), between epicenter and station and focal depth, h (in kilometers), of the earthquake. The standard surface-wave formula is

MS = log10 (A/T) + 1.66 log10 (D) + 3.30 .

There are many variations of these formulas that take into account effects of specific geographic regions so that the final computed magnitude is reasonably consistent with Richter's original definition of ML. Negative magnitude values are permissible.

The second edition of bergey's manual of systemic bacteriology is largely based on ________ classification.
Lady_Fox [76]

The second edition of bergey's manual of systemic bacteriology is largely based on  of prokaryotic classification.

<h3>What does bergey's manual of systemic bacteriology talk about?</h3>

Since publication of the first edition of Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, it has become recognized throughout the world as the principal monographic work in the field of prokaryotic biology. Like a dictionary to a writer, the Manual is usually the first reference that a microbiologist consults when questions arise regarding the characteristics of an unfamiliar species or an unknown strain that bears some similarity to a more familiar one.

While the first edition has served the community well for many years, it has become outdated. As a result, the editorial board of Bergey's Manual Trust, in collaboration with more than 500 of the world's leading authorities in prokaryotic systematics, is in the process of revising Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology so that it reflects current thinking and advances in the field.

With this information, we can conclude that Phylogenetic classification is now broadly accepted as the preferred method of representing taxonomic relationships among prokaryotes and eukaryotes alike.

The range of abiotic conditions under which a species can persist is called its
pantera1 [17]
A. geographic range because there is a range of area where a species can thrive but after you reach a certain point the climate and environment changes and species will no longer be able to withstand it. Climate, weather, and sometimes habitat would all be considered abiotic factors.
