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

Why was molecular testing necessary to establish that species Z was closely related to Butanol Cyrus? In other words, why couldn
MissTica

Answer:

It is likely that the genomic sequences that were used did not enable to properly observe the evolutionary relationships among the species analyzed

Explanation:

The homology level between the genomic sequences may be too low to separate species that are phylogenetically related. In these cases, it is necessary to make a genetic analysis of the sequences that are used before the phylogenetic analysis

Which element is most likely to be a nonreactive gas?
aniked [119]

Answer:

Xe

Explanation:

Cs and Na are solids in room temperature while F and Xe are gases.

The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom will determine its reactivity. Out of the gases given Xe and F, F ( the most electronegative element) posses 5 valence shell electrons which makes it highly reactive while Xe which is a noble gas posses 8 valence shell electrons which makes it less reactive compared to many elements.

What is the engineering cycle and why is it important
Sauron [17]
An engineering cycle is meant to assess the environmental impacts in relation to economic impacts on a product. The assessment is  the whole life cycle of a product consisting of production, use phase and end of life. It's important because it helps mold the standard of living for generations to come and be sustained indefinitely. It protects against negative environmental factors but also reduces the cost of production for business', also.
