If you eliminate 90% of bacteria with the first application, then 10% of the bacteria will survive.

If you eliminate another 90% of bacteria remaining with the first application, then you will take 90% of 10 and subtract that to find the population remaining after the second application.

.90 * .10 = .09

.10 - .09 = .01

Only 1% of the bacteria is left. Therefore, 99% of the bacteria has been eliminated.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Scientists think that foxgloves have evolved the poisons as an evolutionary adaptation and defense mechanism that provided them with better survival capacities.

As poisons are repellents which help the plants to repel any predator or attacker and enhance their survival. That is why scientists are of the view that old fox glove did not necessarily had this poison many hundred years ago but some how there would be facing harsh circumstances or alot of predators. Due to which, with the passage of time they developed these chemicals which enhanced their life time and survival chances.

Some poisonous chemicals from foxglove are:

  • Deslanoside
  • Digitoxin
  • Digitalis glycoside

Hope it help!

Patent law in the US is the Patent Act. It protects new inventions and establishes the US Patent Office to accept patent applications. Its authority is from the US Constitution which says "Congress shall have power to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."

If Pure Capitalism existed in the United States, ________________________.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The correct answer is A. Cocaine could be bought legally in most stores.

Explanation:

A pure capitalist economy relies on laissez-faire; this means every business or corporation is free to choose the product they want to produce and sell it at the price they want with no intervention from the government. This implies, in pure capitalism the government does not restrict the production of certain goods such as drugs or weapons and therefore these can be sold freely.

According to this, if pure capitalism existed in the United States, "cocaine could be bought legally in most stores" because in pure capitalism the government does not intervene in the market and therefore could not forbid business from producing and selling drugs.
