Question

A population P(t) of 1000 bacteria introduced into a nutrient medium grows according to P(t)=1000+1000t100+t2. Then maximum size of bacterial population is
  1. 1110
  2. 1250
  3. 1050
  4. 5250

A
1250
B
5250
C
1050
D
1110
Solution
Verified by Toppr

p(t)=1000+1000t100+t2
dPdt=0 for maximize.
0+(100+t2)10001000t(2t)(100+t2)2=0
1000(100+t22t2)=0
100t2=0
t=±10
Maximum will be t=±10
p(t)=1000+1000×10100+100
=1000+10,000200
=1000+50
=1050.

Q4

The growth of ampicillin resistant bacterial population (strain 1) infected by a virus declines as the virus enters lytic cycle. Then the virus undergoes lysogenic cycle and further remove themselves from bacterial genome during heat shock treatment to proteins. All the bacteria die after some time and only free virus now grow. A second bacterial ampicillin sensitive population (strain 2) is infected by this virus. Similarly, the bacterial population decreases and ampicillin population rebounds.

Which of the following explains the rapid growth of bacterial population as compared to human population?

Q5

Ampicillin-resistant bacterial population (Strain 1) is grown in a laboratory is infected with a virus. The virus initially goes through the lytic cycle and thus bacterial population begins to decline, then rebounds as the virus integrates
into the bacterial chromosome to begin the lysogenic cycle. The bacteria reproduce normally until they are heat-shocked. The virus removes itself from the bacterial genome and enter the lytic cycle because of the temperature is increasing rapidly. Within several hours all bacteria are dead and a free virus is found in high concentration in the bacterial growth medium. This free virus infects bacterial population that is sensitive to ampicillin (Strain 2). After the expected decrease and rebound of this bacterial population (as above), the rebounded population was found to be ampicillin-resistant. Oxygen is constantly infusing in bacterial culture to ensure a high rate of reproduction among the bacteria and a health.
