During a research experiment, it was found that the number of bacteria in a culture grew at a rate proportional to its size. At 6:00 AM there were 4,000 bacteria present in the culture. At noon, the number of bacteria grew to 4,700.
How many bacteria will there be at midnight?

Q1. An experiment studied the role of the
complement system for clearance of bacteria from the blood of mice.
Two types of mice were used in the study: C1q-knockout
mice and wild type mice. The mice were infected with either
antibody-coated or un-coated bacteria (in a fully factorial design,
i.e, both mouse genotypes were exposed to both types of
bacteria), and the clearance rate was measured during two hours
after bacterial administration. Explain the protecting mechanisms
(not only those involving...

3. The growth rate of Escherichia coli, a common bacterium found
in the human intestine, is proportional to its size. Under ideal
laboratory conditions, when this bacterium is grown in a nutrient
broth medium, the number of cells in a culture doubles
approximately every 20 min. a. If the initial population is 10,
determine the function Q(t) that expresses the growth of the number
of cells of this bacterium as a function of time t (in minutes).
Q(t)=________ b. If...
