Minimal growth medium for bacteria such as E. Coli includes various salts with characteristic concentrations in the mM range and a carbon source. The carbon source is typically glucose and it is used at 0.5% (a concentration of 0.5g/100mL). For nitrogen, minimal medium contains ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) with a concentration of 0.1 g/100 mL. For this problem we will say that, on average, each amino acid has 5 carbon atoms, each sugar base pair has 20 carbon atoms, and each lipid has 40 carbon atoms. Of course, these are all crude estimates and as with the entirety of this problem, should be seen as a simple estimate to give a feeling for the numbers. In the case of nitrogen, we know we have about two nitrogen atoms per amino acid, each base pair has about eight nitrogen atoms, and each phospholipid molecule usually has one nitrogen atom. Finally, each DNA base pair has two phosphate atoms, while each lipid. (a) Make an estimate of the number of carbon atoms it takes to make up the macromolecular contents of a bacterium such as E. coli. Similarly, make an estimate of the number of nitrogens it takes to make up the macromolecular contents of a bacterium? What about phosphate?
(b) How many cells can be grown in a 5mL culture using minimal medium before the medium exhausts the carbon? How many cells can be grown in a 5mL culture using minimal medium before the medium exhausts the nitrogen? Note that this estimate will be flawed because it neglects the energy cost of synthesizing the macromolecules of the cell.

children tend to take more after their grandparents more than their parents. it’s the dna you received that was passed down to you somewhere in your family. maybe one of your grandparents had/has straight hair and you might have gotten it from them.

i don't know. if i were you, i would search it up online : d

examples of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) and ribonucleic acid (rna).

i believe the correct answer is the virus gets an envelope that contains host molecules when it leaves the host cell.

explanation:

during the bidding/release stage of a virus, it encapsulates itself with part of the membrane of the host cells in this case the cells of the monkey and is the reason as to why the scientist found the genetic material of the monkey on the viral cell surface.

further explanation

to understand this answer, we have to know the cycle a virus undergoes to replicate. a virus is basically a bunch of genetic material enclosed in a capsule and lacks any machinery or organelles to ensure their survival so they must enter a host cell in order to get the environment needed to survive. some viruses enter and lyse(destroy) the host cell after they have replicated and undergo the lytic cycle while some enter and leave the cell intact after replicating and these undergo a lysogenic cycle. to enter the cell, they undergo the first process called attachment by binding to specific receptors and co-receptors on the surface of the host cell. after attaching to the cell, they start the second phase called penetration where virus enters or is engulfed whole by the host cell through a process called endocytosis. it is the same process that a cell takes up materials it needs or pathogens around it. uncoating of the virus then happens after the virus has been engulfed and is the third stage. the virus then undergoes releasing of its genetic material in the host's matrix.   the materials then enter the nucleus and undergo biosynthesis by adding themselves in strands of rna being translated and then copies of the virus are produced in addition to the host genetic material. the material/newly formed viral material then undergoes assembly inside the host cell and form a capsule around them. the virus undergoes the last release/budding stage by binding to the host membrane and pushing outwards. in doing so when they tear away from the host membrane, they pick up the genetic material from the membrane of the host cell to form their envelope.
