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

If a bacterial population doubles every 60 minutes and you start with 2 cells in your broth, how many bacteria will you have after 24 hours?
You place two species of bacteria in a 50%/50% ratio into a test tube with nutrients that favor the growth of both bacterial species. After two days the ratio is 80%/20%. Assuming that the bacteria do not attack each other, do you think this is an example of competition?
Under ideal conditions, a population of bacteria can grow to more than 1036 in 24 hours. This is a statement of the populations: a. Density b. Carrying capacity c. Growth rate d. Biotic potential
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.
What is one of the primary benefits of bioremediation? Group of answer choices A. to improve human health with the help of living organisms such as bacteria B. to clean up areas polluted with toxic compounds by using bacteria C. to improve soil quality for plant growth by using bacteria D. to improve bacteria for production of useful chemicals
What do you mean by “Biopiracy” Give an example?
How can food and water limit a population
With antibiotic resistance rising, researchers are looking for ways to reduce the use of antibiotics. Instead of antibiotic-laced food, some cattle now get probiotic feed with cultured bacteria that can establish or bolster populations of helpful bacteria in the animals gut. The idea is that if a large population of beneficial bacteria is in place, then harmful bacteria cannot become established or thrive. Explain the ecological principle that is guiding this practice.
In a minimum of 5 sentences,explain "Biodivesity starts in the distant past and it points toward the future".
What type of factors will limit the growth of a population?
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
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?
