In rapidly dividing bacteria, the cell can divide in times as short as 1200 s. Make a careful estimate of the number of sugars (glucose) needed to provide the carbon for constructing the macromolecules of the cell during one cell cycle of a bacteria. Use this result to work out the number of carbon atoms that need to be taken into the cell each second to sustain this growth rate.

Can bacteria reproduce in a way such that when you start out with two bacteria, you get five bacteria? why or why not? * a. yes, because bacteria reproduce sexually, and can produce any number of offspring, just as humans do. b. no, because bacteria grow at an exponential rate. c. no, because when bacteria reproduce, they split into two parts, and two bacteria splitting would result in four bacteria.

Where in the cell are ribosomes made?

Which of the following is not a type of epithelial cell
