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 )

Describe the basic function of each of the three leaf tissues
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Each plant organ (roots, stems, leaves) contains all three tissue types: Dermal tissue covers and protects the plant, and controls gas exchange and water absorption (in roots). Dermal tissue of the stems and leaves is covered by a waxy cuticle that prevents evaporative water loss.

Which of the following processes involves the chloroplast?a. cell divisionb. conversion of light energy to chemical energyc. for
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

\boxed{\tt B. \ Conversion\  of\ light \ energy \ to \ chemical \ energy}

Explanation:

This question asks us which process involves the chloroplast.

In plants, algae, and some bacteria, a process called <u>photosynthesis</u> occurs. This process takes place in the <em>chloroplasts. </em>In the process, the organism takes light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water, and turns it into glucose and oxygen.

The glucose that is made becomes the food and energy for the organism. In another process, called cellular respiration, the sugar is turned into ATP, a kind of useable energy.  

The best answer choice is B. Conversion of light energy to chemical energy. The chloroplasts convert light energy to sugar, and the sugar becomes chemical energy.
