Answer:

The tolerance and limiting factor plays an essential part in ecology as they influence the number of organisms living in and reproducing in an environment as well as surviving there.

Limiting factor signifies towards any abiotic or biotic element, which limits the numbers, existence, distribution, or reproduction of organisms, while tolerance signifies towards the majority of the organisms that can be carried most efficiently.

Plants and animals all have a range of limiting (ecological minimum and maximum) for certain environmental factors. The organism will survive provided the temperature, humidity, air etc are maintained within critical limits.

You are given a 1 liter bacterial culture in exponential stage of growth. The generation time of the bacteria is known to be 30

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

A bacteria divides by binary fission which divides a parent bacteria into the two daughter cells and generation time refers to the average time difference between two consecutive generations.

The bacterial cell grows by the exponential function that is by $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria.

In the given question,

Initial population

the initial population of bacteria - 2x 10³ per ml

So per liter, the bacterial population will be 2 x 10 ⁶

Generation time

1 generation time of bacteria is 30 min.

so 5 hours will have-   $\frac{300}{30}$ = 10 generations

New bacterial population

Using formula $2^{number of generation}$ x initial population of bacteria

$2^{10}$ x (2 x 10⁶)

= 1048 x (2 x 10⁶)

2048 x 10⁶

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
