A population of E. coli bacteria grows exponentially with time. You believe that the mean time between divisions is t, = 26 min, and that cell death occurs on average after tm = 200 hr. The
population starts with 1000 cells. Complete parts (a) through (c).
(a) Use the equation N(t) = N, e0-m)t to predict how many cells are present after 3 hours.
The number of cells present after 3 hours is.
(Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest integer as needed.)
(a) What is the order of magnitude of the number of micro organisms in the human intestinal tract? A typical bacterial length scale is 10-6 m. Estimate the intestinal volume and assume 1% of it is occupied by bacteria. (b) Does the number of bacteria suggest whether the bacteria are beneficial, dangerous, or neutral for the human body? What functions could they serve?
In a person infected with measles, the virus level N (measured in number of infected cells per ml of blood plasma) reaches a peak
density at about t 12 days (when a rash appears) and then decreases fairly rapidly as a result of immune response. The area
under the graph of N(t), the t-axis, and the lines t = 0 to t = 12, (as shown in the figure) is equal to the total amount of infection
needed to develop symptoms (measured in density of infected cells x time).

The function has been modeled by the function
(t) = -t(t - 21)(t + 1).
Use this model with six subintervals and their midpoints to estimate the total amount of infection (in (infected cells/mL) - day)
needed to develop symptoms of measles.t

- A Hippogriff is a magical beast that had tail of a horse. It is very similar to another magical creature, the Griffin, with the horse rear replacing the lion rear. A slightly different breed of Hippogriffs, living in the Rathlin Island—the northernmost point in Northern Ireland, was known to have a growth rate of 0.2 individuals per individual—year. From an initial population of N0, it grew to 35 individuals after 5 years. After 17 more years, the total population of hippogriffs in Rathlin Island rose to 1588 individuals. Solve for the carrying capacity of Rathlin Island and the initial population of the said specie.arrow_forwardThere are 11 less rabbits than chicken in the farm. The animals have a total of 160 legs.

As a result, its population can be modeled as N (t) = No2. ---(eq 1) N(t) is the population at time t, NO is the population at the beginning = 100, t = time you wait [minute]. You prepare 6 dishes. Each dish contains 100 living bacteria at the beginning. Then you wait for 20 mins, freeze the first dish to stop the bacteria in the dish from growing. Then wait for another 20 mins, freeze the second dish (i.e. the total growth time for the second dish is 40 min). Proceed to the next dish in the similar process until all 6 dishes are done. After counting all the dish, you collect the data between time and population as follow: t(min) N(t) 20 132 220 40 60 311 80 369 100 622 120 836 Find to (the time for bacteria to divide itself).
