(a) Express the population after t hours as a function of t. population: 140 * e^((0.321)(t)) (b) What will be the population after 7 hours? (c) How long will it take for the population to reach 1870 ? (function of t)

The exponential and logistic growth models aren’t just for bacteria. They can be applied to many other types of populations, including human populations. 23. Do you think the global human population is experiencing exponentialgrowth or logistic growth? Why?
Bacteria reproduce by fission (splitting in two) and can respond very rapidly to environmental changes. A culture of bacteria is found to contain 4.95 X 109 bacteria and the carrying capacity of the culture is 5.0 X 109. How will the bacterial population change in the near future. Group of answer choices -it will increase very rapidly to K -it will increase very slowly to K -it will grow exponentiall -it will decrease very rapidly to K
Explain Why bacteria do not cause food-borne illness until they are allowed to grow and increase their population density to a threshold number, like when being left out at room temperature for 12 hours or more. What happens as the bacteria grow in numbers? What do pathogenic bacteria synthesize? How do bacteria know what their population density is?
A single dose of mouthwash is added to a bacterial culture with 10 million cells/mL and, after 30 minutes, one hundred thousand viable cells/mL remain. How many would survive at the end of 1.5 hours? Based on the equation, can you ever totally decimate the population? In a practical sense, when would you assume that all the cells are dead?
The three microbial species shown in the graph where all treated at 70° C. When we have to sterilize a food product that contained 107 bacteria, the time taken for each bacterial species would be:- For species A :- 42 minutes For species B :- 70 minutes For species C :- 112 minutes arrow_forward Step 3 The D70 values for these three bacterial populations. D70 for microbial species A= 42 minutes B: D70 microbial species B= 70 minutes C: D70 microbial species C =112 minutes Please answer these questions below: please use drawings too (i learn best that way) For the next three questions, assume D90 = 22 minutes. At what temperature will you treat a food product? How long does it take you to kill 90% of bacteria? How long will it take you to sterilize a food product if it had 109 bacteria on it?
You add 4 paramecia to a test tube and feed them bacteria. One week later the population has grown to 16. Assuming that the population is growing exponentially, how many paramecia can you expect after 10 weeks? Round your answer to the closest full number.
a. For an exponentially growing population, calculate μmax (units?) based on the data belowb. Calculate the specific growth rate (μ) of the population above growing at a substrate concentration of 25 mg/L according to Monod kinetics with a ks of 50 mg/L.c. Consider two genetically engineered organisms intended for use in the cleanup of hydrocarbon spills into the ocean. Bacterium alpha has a μmax of 1 d-1 and a ks of 0.1 mg/L. Bacterium beta has a μmax of 5 d-1 and a ks of 5 mg/L. If the hydrocarbon concentration is initially 1000 mg/L and the desired objective is to reduce concentrations below 0.1 mg/L what order of addition of the bacterial species is desired?
Which population interaction is widely used in medical science for the production of antibiotics?
Log Nt = Log N0 – t/D. D is the time required for a log kill. A single dose of mouthwash is added to a bacterial culture with 10 million cells/mL and, after 30 minutes, one hundred thousand viable cells/mL remain. How many would survive at the end of 1.5 hours? Based on the equation, can you ever totally decimate the population? In a practical sense, when would you assume that all the cells are dead?
Question 4 Could overuse of unnecessary antibiotics result in a population of antibiotic resistance bacteria? 1. No, because antibiotic use cannot influence the population of antibiotic resistant bacteria 2. Yes, because the antibiotic would trigger mutation in the bacteria, resulting in antibiotic resistance 3. Yes, because the antibiotic would select for any bacteria resistant to the antibiotic, allowing only them to survive
1. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which line/curve best describes the theory of natural selection of Charles Darwin? 2. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which curve represents the scenario described by Thomas Malthus "the populations with unlimited natural resources grow very rapidly, after which population growth decreases as resources become depleted". 3. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which curve best represents the growth of bacteria? 4. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which line/curve acts as a moderating force in the growth rate by slowing it when resources become limited and stopping growth once it has been reached.
What is an organism population that has had exponential growth, and what circumstances led to that exponential population growth?
