First, let calculate the volume of the rod shaped-bacteria:

S = length of the bacteria * surface of its side = 4.1 * (0.45 *0.45 * 3.14) = 2.6 µm3

Now, let's convert the moles into molecules (with Avogadro's law):

0.0037mol/L = 0.0037 * 6.023 *10^23 = 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L

Now let's convert The volume and the concetrnation into µm3 (molecules / µm3)

1 L = 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3 = 1000000 mm3 = 10^9 µm3

so 2.22 *10^21 molecules / L = 2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

The answer is  2.22 10^ 12 molecules / µm3

A cell come a certain organism has 64 individual, or 32 pairs, of chromosomes. Which of these can you draw?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

B. The cell cannot be a human

Explanation:

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, or 46 individual chromosomes. Mutations in humans usually cause there to be a single extra chromosome, or a single missing chromosome. A mutation would not cause there to be 64. So, A cannot be true. Prokaryotic cells usually have one chromosome, not 64, so C cannot be true. D cannot be assumed as you cannot tell if there is uncontrolled cell growth. Therefore, the answer would be B.

Although there is an overpopulation problem with white-tailed deer in the Southeastern United States, hunting is regulated. Why

Explain why the cane toad has been so successful as an invasive species in Australia
Sauron [17]

Answer:  

Cane toads were introduced intentionally in Australia in 1935 to combat cane beetles in the sugar cane crop fields. These toads exhibit higher feeding capacity. These can feed not only cane beetles but other insects which affecting agricultural yields. They are poisonous in nature, they kill any insect after ingestion. Therefore, they are useful biological insecticide which provides crops resistance against insects.

The Susquehanna River, which runs through the states of New York, Pennsylvania, an Maryland , received the title- America's most
Lina20 [59]

This  produces several negative effects on the biodiversity of the river ecosystem.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Susquehanna river is polluted by the excess release of nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen from agricultural land and sewage treatment plants. This can adversely affect the health of the river. The excess of nutrients will accelerate the growth of algae in the river.

The dead algae that settle at the bottom of the river decay by consuming the oxygen present in the river. This will reduce the amount of dissolved oxygen in the river and affect aquatic life.

Thick algal growth partially prevents the penetration of sunlight into the water and this affects the growth of submerged plants which are food to the fish.
