Answer:

the first is when the plant uses its roots to gather water to the rest of the plant and the second is inside the stem

Answer:

Plants use capillary action to bring water up the roots and stem to the rest of the plant. The molecules of the water (the liquid) are attracted to the molecules of the inside of the stem (the solid).

tiny-mole [99]

Nummular is a term to describe a lesion size. Nummular size is about a coin size, or 3cm x 5cm. Other sizes could be miliar which was about a dot, lenticular which was around a lentil, and plaque which sizes around a palm of the hand. This size description is not really descriptive since it has various ranges. Actual size in centimeter unit might be better to describe a lesion.

Why is it likely that MOST speciation is allopatric?

LenKa [72]

Answer:

e. Because gene flow between populations prevents genetic divergence in sympatry.

Explanation:

Speciation requires genetic divergence between populations of a species to isolate them reproductively. however, when present in the same habitat, gene flow between populations of a species does not allow their reproductive isolation and thereby, prevents the formation of new species. These populations need strong episodes of disruptive selection for their reproductive isolation.

On the other hand, two geographically isolated populations can not interbreed and thus, there is no gene flow between them leading to their genetic divergence and speciation. So, allopatric speciation is more common than sympatric one.

The count in a bacteria culture was 100 after 20 minutes and 2000 after 40 minutes. Assuming the count grows exponentially, What

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let X be the number of bacteria at time t, and Xo be the initial number of bacteria

Bacteria grows exponentially, the exponential growth model is thus:

X = Xo $e^{kt}$

[e is the exponential sign]

k is the growth constant = growth rate

At t = 20 minutes, X = 100

At t = 40 minutes, X = 2000

Substituting that into the formula

(i) ... 100 = Xo $e^{k20}$

(ii) ... 2000 = Xo $e^{k40}$

Divide (ii) by (i)

$\frac{2000}{100} = \frac{Xoe^{40k} } {Xoe^{20k}}$

20 = $e^{40k-20k} = e^{20k}$

[Xo cancels Xo. Division of values raised to a power is done by subtracting their powers]

Take the natural log of both sides

㏑20 = 20k

[taking the ㏑ cancels the exponential]

k = $\frac{ln20}{20}$

We can now substitute k to solve one of the equations

substituting k in (ii): 2000 = Xo $e\frac{ln 20}{20}.^{40}$

2000 = Xo $e^{0.15*40}$

2000 = Xo $e^{6}$

Making Xo the subject of the formula

Xo = $\frac{2000}{e^{6} }$

Xo is approximately 5 cells.

THE DOUBLING TIME

The doubling time is the time it takes for the population to double, so 5 cells become 10 cells

Since Xo = 5

Given that X = Xo $e^{kt}$

When X=10,

10 = 5 $e^{0.15t}$

solving for t:

$e^{0.15t} = \frac{10}{5}$

Take ln of both sides

0.15t = ln 2

t = $\frac{ln2}{0.15}$

t =4.62 minutes

POPULATION AFTER 65 MINUTES

X = 5 $e^{0.15*65}$

X = 85770

WHEN WILL THE POPULATION REACH 12000

12000 = 5 $e^{0.15t}$

$e^{0.15t}$ =240

take ln of both sides

0.15t = ln 2400

t = 51.89 minutes (approximately 52 minutes)
