<u>Answer:</u> The final population of Proteus vulgaris after 6 hours is 3.71\times 10^{6}cells

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Proteus vulgaris divides and doubles every 28 minutes

Total time given = 6 hours = 360 min      (Conversion factor: 1 hr = 60 min)

Number of times Proteus vulgaris doubles in 6 hours = \frac{360min}{28min}=12.857times

Calculating the number of bacteria after 6 hours under ideal conditions:

We are given:

Initial population = 500 cells

Number of times it doubles = 12.857 times

Final Proteus vulgaris population = 500\times 2^{12.857}=3709476.8=3.71\times 10^{6}cells

Hence, the final population of Proteus vulgaris after 6 hours is 3.71\times 10^{6}cells

What would happen if the electron transport system in the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis was disabled for some reaso
Andrei [34K]
The electron transport system in the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is the one that is responsible for the production of electrons that are used as precursor for NADPH production. The NADPH and the other products that are made during the light dependent reaction are used during the dark reaction to produce sugar molecules. So, if the electron transport is disabled, glucose molecule will not be produced during the dark reaction.<span />

What is the relationship between the cytoplasm and nucleus of a cell
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The nucleus is a cell's central organelle, which contains the cell's DNA (Figure 3.6). The cytoplasm is composed of two parts, the cytosol and organelles. Cytosol, the jelly-like substance within the cell, provides the fluid medium necessary for biochemical reactions.

saveliy_v [14]

Explanation:

Actually, two organelles transport protein in a eukaryotic cell (multicellular organisms): (rough) Endoplasmic Recticulum and Golgi Apparatus.

The (rough) endoplasmic recticulum transport the newly synthesized proteins to the golgi apparatus from where they are transported to the various regions of the cell or outside the cell. Smooth endoplasmic recticulum is not associated with protein transport.

Proteins, carrying a signaling sequence, are transported from the endoplasmic recticulum, packaged into vesicles, to the golgi apparatus (or golgi complex or golgi bodies). These proteins are modified by enzymatic reactions as they move through the golgi apparatus. After processing, these proteins are either excreted from the cell or are sent to various locations within the cell. 

It is difficult to pinpoint the location of these organelles within the cell as locations are different for mammals, plants, yeasts, etc. Generally, the golgi apparatus is found adjacent to the endoplasmic recticulum, which in turn is found throughout the cell but has a higher density near the nucleus.
