Bacteria grow in a culture at a rate proportional to the amount present. Initially, 300 strands of the bacteria are in the cultu
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)

(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.

Explanation:

(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n

t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)

Since t = kn, then, n = t/k

(b) Initial amount of strands = 300

Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360

k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand

Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)

Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours

How does carbon dioxide enter leaves?
melomori [17]
Plants get the carbon dioxide they need from the air through their leaves. It moves by diffusion through small holes in the underside of the leaf called stomata. These let carbon dioxide reach the other cells in the leaf, and also let the oxygen produced in photosynthesis leave the leaf easily.

You observed many sand hill cranes on your walk. Two sand hill cranes flapped their wings and hopped up and down when you walked
Anarel [89]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) symbiosis

B) ecosystem

C) community

D) population

E) biosphere

The answer is D) Population

Explanation:

Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.

This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.

This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
