Answer:

7800 cells

Explanation:

The number of Escherichia coli cells N after n generations is given by

N = 2ⁿ × N₀ where N₀ = initial population

Now making N₀ subject of the formula, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

Since n = 8 and N = 1,996,800 cells, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/2⁸

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/256

N₀ = 7800 cells

So, the initial population of Escherichia coli cells is 7800 cells.

What happens to the speed of motion of the particles of a gas when a certain volume of the gas is heated at constant pressure? E
Vitek1552 [10]
As the gas is heated, the particles will begin to move faster. Likewise if you start to cool a gas, the particles will move slower. Because the gas remains at a constant pressure and volume, the particles cannot spread out so they simply move around the container even faster.

Hope this helps :)
