Question
Chapter 15, Problem 11TYU
Summary Introduction
To propose:
A hypothesis as how the genes of the bacteria present in the organ of a flashlight fish are regulated and organized. The flashlight fish consists of an organ under its eye, which helps in emitting light. There is a bacterium inside the organ that is responsible for emitting the light.
Concept introduction:
Bacteria present in the organ of the flashlight fish have a mutual relation with the fish. The bacteria get its nutrient from the fish and the fish startles the predators and attracts prey with the help of the light that the bacteria emit.

"The mathematics of uncontrolled growth are frightening. A single cell of the bacterium E. coli
would, under ideal circumstances, divide every twenty minutes. That is not particularly disturbing
until you think about it, but the fact is that bacteria multiply geometrically: one becomes two, two
become four, four become eight, and so on. In this way it can be shown that in a single day, one cell
of E. coli could produce a super-colony equal in size and weight to the entire planet Earth."
Using mathematical models of exponential growth, double check Crichton's math. Is he
exaggerating? Has he underestimated? Or is he accurate?
(For your calculations, assume the following: 6x1024kg per earth; 1x10-15kg per E. coli cell)
He is grossly exaggerating. It would take years to reach this size.
O He is taking a little poetic license. It would take more than 24 hours.
O He is accurate. It would take 24 hours to create a colony this size.
O He is underestimating. It would take less than 24 hours to…

- Subject: Microbiology The author of a general biology textbook writes in reference to the development of antibiotic resistance, “The speed at which bacteria reproduce ensures that sooner or later a mutant bacterium will appear that is able to resist the poison.” How might this mutant bacterial cell appear? Do you agree with the statement? Does this bode ill for the future use of antibiotics?arrow_forwardPlease answer fast Imagine that you have a water sample containing two different species of bacteria. What physical state of medium (NOT functional type!) would you use to separate these two species?arrow_forwardIS IT A FACT OR A BLUFF? 1. Bacterial genetic material is composed single stranded DNA as compared to human DNA which is double stranded. 2. Just like humans, all microbes need oxygen to grow and reproduce. 3. There are no living microbes in volcanic vent and in hot spring because microbes die at very high temperature. 4. Most bacteria growth is retarded at low temperature. 5. Bacterial ATP production happens in the mitochondria which is the powerhouse of the cell. After identifying your answer whether fact or bluff, you need to give justification to your answer. You Justification should be given in not more that 50 words.arrow_forward
- just answer question --- dont need explanationarrow_forwardNeed help In a micro lab there are various staining procedures, different microscopes, and media that are used to grow, test, and view microbes. Imagine you are a microbiologist explaining an aspect of the prokaryote and how to work with it in the lab. The options for discussion are endless, its just a matter of tying the two topics together. For example: for an acid fast cell wall requires a specialized stain, and then a microscope to view.arrow_forwardQuestion:- Why is there more bacterial diversity on the back of your hand and why is there less bacterial diversity on the front of your hand?arrow_forward

In your model be sure to include all the structures appropriate to your cell. You may model a bacterial cell or an archaea You will model at least 4 structures in any model. Nextbuild a model of a virus using the same type of materials. You may choose any type of virus but be sure you can illustrate the key features of a virus (head shape for example) Once complete, take multiple photographs of your models from all anglesInclude these images in a document that also contains the following completed table format.

- We know that a short duration of UV radiation could kill a large number of the cells. We also know that in the Pure Culture lab a very large number of bacteria existed in the soil. (If we had sampled other environments outside in nature, we would have found plenty of bacteria.) Based on these two pieces of information, explain whether bacteria could survive under sunshine? Give a logical reason.arrow_forwardBelow are three statements - two of which are truths and one is a lie. Which of the following statements is a lie? Select one: a. Although both prokaryotes and eukaryotes have a plasma membrane that protects them from their surrounding, many of the extremophiles are prokaryotic and only a few are eukaryotic. b. Despite different in appearance, nerve and muscles cell have the same genetic material and the same ability to produce electrochemical impulses. c. Although very few in numbers, there are special prokaryotes that have a membrane-bound nucleus.arrow_forwardplease answer all the question cause this are connected ..so please answer all .will give you a likearrow_forward
