<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

Do you think mankind will ever reach the center of the Earth? How do you think we could get there
Olegator [25]

Answer:

May be this can help

But we've never been to the planet's core. We haven't even come close. The central point of the Earth is over 6,000km down, and even the outermost part of the core is nearly 3,000 km below our feet.Aug 13, 2015

What is the concentration of a suspension that grew 89 colonies on a plate with a dilution of 1:100?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

8900 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Colony Forming Units (CFU) is a value that indicates the degree of microbiological contamination of an environment. It expresses the relative number of microorganisms of a given taxon in a volume of one cubic meter of water.

UFC is the minimum number of separable cells on the surface, or inside, of a semi-solid agar medium that results in the development of a visible colony of the order of tens of millions of descending cells. The CFUs can be pairs, chains or clusters, as well as individual cells. Colony forming unit.

Calculation

Colonies * Dilution = CFU/mL

89          *  (100/ 1 mL) = CFU/mL

8900 CFU/mL

What does she need from the food she ate and the air she breathes so that she can go on her run? How do Rosa's body systems work
IgorC [24]

The missing part of the question is as follows:

Rosa eats a peanut butter sandwich for lunch. Peanut butter contains a lot of protein, and bread is mostly starch. Rosa plans to go for a run later this afternoon. Rosa is breathing normally.

Answer:

1. The food she ate is peanut butter and bread, the peanut is rich in protein while the bread is rich in carbohydrate which provides sugar (glucose) by breathing she gets oxygen in a sufficient amount to perform cellular respiration (aerobic) to carry out energy for running. Carbohydrates are a better choice of nutrients befors exercise as carbohydrates provide energy immediately.

Aerobic respiration provides a high amount of energy, 36 ATP to be specific, per cycle of cellular respiration.

2.  The carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen she gets from food and breathing react together to perform aerobic cellular respiration to carry out maximum energy. By the digestive system and organs of this system, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose which is diffused into the blood.

Oxygen also diffused to blood from the lungs and heart with the help of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of her body.

3. By the aerobic cellular respiration process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell helps in providing energy from glucose and oxygen by a three-step process:

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Here glucose reacts with oxygen. Which ultimately provide 36 ATP molecules for the cell in a run.
