Answer:
21 minutes or 0.35 hours
Explanation:
The formula for exponential population growth is
where
initial population of E.coli i.e 100
k is the rate of population growth i.e 2 as the population doubles
t is the time period i.e 20 minutes
Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -
Generation time
minutes
or 0.35 hours
Answer:
The cells in a population die at a constant rate
Explanation:
Microbial death is the loss of the ability of microbes to reproduce and survive in an environment. When a given microbial population is given a treatment, the microbial cells die at a constant rate. Microbial death rate is not dependent on the specie and nor on the antimicrobial agent.
Therefore, the microbial cells in a population does not die at once but die at a constant logarithmic rate; the cells decreases exponentially as nutrients decreases and waste product increases.
For example, if 500,000 microbes are treated or in a nutrient depleted environment and 50,000 microbes is left after 1 minute, by the next minute under the same condition 5,000 microbial cells will be left and this pattern will continue, this explains exponential decrease
Answer:
an increase in the temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules which causes the molecules to move faster
Answer:
B) The "lub-dub" sound originates from blood turbulence through the heart.
Explanation:
The systole and diastole in the heart produce the lub and dub sound in the heart.
The systole represents the contraction of both left and right ventricles and pumps the blood to the body and the right ventricle to the lungs. This involves the opening and closing of the valves. The closing of the atrioventricular valves produces lub sound.
At the end of the systole or ventricular contraction or when the blood has been pumped to the aorta and the pulmonary valves then the semilunar valves present in the aorta and pulmonary closes. This produces a sound dub.
Therefore,lub dub is associated with the physical contraction of the heart but not the turbulence of the blood.
Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
It have been shown that domestic turkeys require about 13.6 grams of food per pound of body weight each day to sustain weight. A gobbler is a male turkey.
The food consumed by a male turkey that is 17.5 lbs = 13.6 grams of food per pound * 17.5 pound = 238 grams.
7 gobblers = 7 male turkeys, hence:
The food consumed by 7 gobblers = 238 grams * 7 = 1666 grams
