olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
4 0
It has been proven that the caloric equivalent of one pound of body fat is 3500 calories approximately. One pound is equal to 454 grams and one gram of pure body fat contains 8.7 to 9.5 calories. Considering the fact that body fat tissue is 87% pure fat, we can calculate that one pound of body fat contains approximately 3.436 to 3.752 calories.

Len [333]

Answer:

The dry-out material contains spores of anthrax-causing bacteria

Explanation:

<em>Anthrax is a disease caused by a bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. Susceptible animals get infected by anthrax when the spore of the bacteria gets into their bodies, become activated, multiply and produce toxins.</em>

The spore serves primarily as a propagating structure and also as an agent for transmitting infections. It can be transmitted by air, water, food or any other means. Bacterial spores usually have the capability to tolerate harsh environmental conditions and only become inactivated when conditions are favourable.

The dry granular powdery material constituent of the letters received by the U.S. senators must have been spores of <em>Bacillus anthrasis</em>

A elephant cell has 20 chromosomes. how many chromosomes will the cell have just before mitosis begins in the elephant cell?
lora16 [44]

The elephant cell will have 20 chromosomes.

Cells undergo interphase before getting to the mitotic phase. At the S phase of the interphase, the amount of DNA in the cell is double by replication. However, the number of chromosomes remains intact.

Thus, the cell gets to the mitotic phase with the same number of chromosomes that is usually present in normal vegetative cells of the animal.
