It will take <u>120 minutes</u> for the concentration to become > 15000 cells/cm³

<u>Given data:</u>

Initial concentration ( density ) = 1000 cells / cm³

Target/final concentration = > 15,000 cells /cm³

<h3 /><h3>Calculating the concentration every 30 minutes </h3><h3 />

<em>note</em><em> : Given that each cell divides every 30 minutes </em>

  • <u>After the first 30 minutes </u>

Concentration = 2000 cells / cm³

  • <u>After 60 minutes </u>

concentration = 4000 cells / cm³

  • <u>After 90 minutes </u>

concentration = 8000 cells / cm³

  • <u>After 120 minutes </u>

concentration = 16000 cells / cm³

Therefore after 120 minutes the concentration of the cells will be greater than 15000 cells/cm³ ( i.e. 16000 cells/cm³ )

HURRY PLEASE I NEED A PARAGRAPH. Describe how cell membranes are selectively permeable.
Simora [160]

Cell membranes are selectively permeable. Some solutes cross the membrane freely, some cross with assistance, and others do not cross at all. A few lipophilic substances move freely across the cell membrane by passive diffusion. ... Large molecules do not cross intact cell membranes, except in certain special cases.

23. Lipids

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified into three types: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g., lactose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch). Cellulose is a carbohydrate where many glucose rings chain together, while chitin is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of modified glucose molecules.

Lipids represent a diverse group of organic molecules that include, among others, fats, waxes, oils, hormones, etc. Lipids play a role by insulating (and protecting) the body. For example, there is a layer of fats beneath the skin which enables to maintain body temperature relatively constant. In animals, lipids constitute about 50% of the mass of cell membranes. These membrane lipids are mainly phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. There are hormones that derive from lipids such as steroid hormones, which derive from cholesterol. Some examples of steroid hormones are testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.
