One experiment that we could use to test the way in which fruit fly populations grow is to enclose a set amount inside a container with a food source and measure the population growth daily, then repeat this many times.

In order to test the way in which the fly population grows, we need an experiment that will allow us to gather data at set intervals. To do this we can create an experiment in which we set up multiple enclosures, each with a set amount of flies and one banana. Then measure the population on a <u>day-to-day</u> interval.

By performing the experiment with multiple enclosures, we can not only confirm that the results are accurate by having tested it many times, but we can also take the opportunity to test the effects of the food supply on population growth by adding more bananas and seeing if the population will increase at a different rate than the other enclosures.

Once a set number of days have passed, and we have the data corresponding to the population size each day, we can proceed to graph the data. Once graphed, we can analyze the data shown in order to observe whether the population is growing logistically or exponentially.

How do archaea and bacteria differ?​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The archaea and the bacteria both are prokaryotes. However, the genetic makeup of the archaea is more similar to the eukaryotes. Moreover, they have differences, in their metabolic pathways, genes and the enzymes possessed by them.

Explanation:

The differences between Archaea and bacteria:

1. The cell wall of the bacteria consist of peptidoglycan, while the cell wall of the archaea consist of pseudo-peptidoglycan.

2. The bacteria are capable of spore formation, which can lie dormant for long periods of time until a suitable condition is found for their growth. The archaea are not known to form such spores.

3. The genes of the archaea are more similar to the eukaryotes than the bacteria.

4. The bacteria are found everywhere where the living conditions are suitable (soil, air, living beings, non-living things). the archaea are capable of surviving in extreme conditions (hot springs, salt brine).

5. The bacteria use the process of glycolysis and follows Kreb's cycle for glucose break-down. The archaea do not undergo glycolysis or Kreb's cycle.
