Bacteria usually reproduce by a process called binary fission. in this type of reproduction, one bacterium divides to form two bacteria. under ideal conditions, some bacteria reproduce every 15 minutes. find the constant k for this type of bacteria under ideal conditions. assume t is in minutes.

Explanation:

Given-

A bacteria reproduces after every fifteen minutes.

Thus, after every fifteen minutes, the bacterial population will get double.

Now as we know that

Here,

represents the population after time t

 represents the initial population

Substituting the given values in above equation we get -

On solving we get -

chert is a sedimentary rock composed of microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline silica. with this little bit of information, you can come to the conclusion that your answer is c.  

explanation:

all matter is made up of atoms

in any element all atoms are the same

elements in a compound are always in a constant ratio: apex
