Estimate the number of cells that belong to each phase of the cell cycle

Biology
1 answer:
svlad2 [7]3 years ago
5 0

There are two ways to do this.  You could actually learn the phases and count each one.  Since you're posting here, it's a safe bet you have no intention of actually learning the material.  The second is to estimate based on the total number of cells.  At any given time, you will have approximately the following percentages for each phase of the cell cycle:

Interphase - 96%

Prophase - 2.5%

Metaphase - .5%

Anaphase - .5%

Telophase - .5%

In the picture, there are about 120 cells.  Now you have to do a little 5th grade math to calculate the approximate mumbers of each phase.  So, for Interphase, we multiply 120 x .96 = 115.  For Prophase we multiply 120 x .025 = 3.  For Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, we multiply 120 x .005 = .6, which rounds up to 1 each.  Now, as I specified, these numbers are approximate.  Looking at the picture, I count three that are in Metaphase, two that are in Anaphase, and at least three in Telophase. And there are more than three in Prophase.  The best way to figure this out is to print the picture and, using a guide from the internet, count the cells in each phase, marking them off as you count them so that you don't recount them.  Good Luck!

Can enzymes be reused
Masja [62]

If denaturation occurs (extreme temperature change or pH changes), the enzyme will not be reusable! The structure of the enzymes are not changed. As a result of this, enzymes will be used again and again to bind onto another substrate molecule and catalyze the reaction once again.

Design an experiment where you would determine how quickly lactaid works to break down milk sugar
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Gather 11 Cups And then fill each cup with 5 ounces of whole milk, next is take the first cup to add a known quantity of lactaid. As A Control take another cup and do not add any lactaid. After 1 Minute, pour a known quantity of benedicts into cups of milk. Record the colour ( blue is the least amount of glucose progressing to green, then yellow, orange, red and brick/red brown). Take another cup of milk and then add the lactaid and wait for 5 minutes... Next is add the benedicts. Record the color, repeat steps 7 - 10 adding 5 minute each time until there are no cups left ( 15 minutes, 20,25,30,35,40,45) .

For the last is graph the data and forms conclusions ..

  • This is the right answer.
