Archimedes was an ancient Greek mathematician and inventor. He made mathematical discoveries as he solved everyday problems. He invented machines to move heavy objects, carry water, and fight battles. Archimedes recorded his discoveries so that others could learn from them. Today he is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time.

Archimedes was born in the Greek city-state of Syracuse, Sicily, in 287 bc. His father, Phidias, was an astronomer. Archimedes also studied astronomy.

It is believed that Archimedes visited the famous library of Alexandria, Egypt, where he met great scholars. While in Egypt, he is said to have invented a machine to carry water upward from one level to another. The machine, known as Archimedes’ screw, is still used in parts of the world today.After studying in Alexandria, Archimedes returned to Syracuse. He wrote many works to explain his discoveries. Archimedes’ most-famous ideas include his explanations of how levers and pulleys can lift and move heavy objects. Another idea, called Archimedes’ principle, is a scientific law. It describes what happens when an object floats in water.

In 213 bc Romans attacked Syracuse. Archimedes invented machines to defend the city. When Syracuse was finally overtaken, Archimedes was killed there in 212 bc.

Assume you inoculated 100 cells, with a generation time of 20 minutes, into 100 ml of nutrient broth. You then inoculated 100 ce
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a) the same number of cells in both

Explanation:

In cells reproduction, in both cases we consider the same specie, the same generation time, and we assume the same broth.

The only advantage of the container with more milliliters of nutrients is that when the population increases, it will need more nutrients, so maybe the reproduction rate in the container with 100 ml will be lower.

But if the temperature, the quantity of nutrients are the same in both containers, so the volume is not a variable to affect the speed or low the reproduction rate.
