FeSMo - Iron, Sulfer, Molybdenum
400
What affect does burning fossil fuels have on the carbon cycle?
Increase in atmospheric carbon via C02 = greenhouse effect
400
What is the final e acceptor in fermentation?
There is none, recycles NADH to NAD

You determine that a pizza has 3 million S. aureus cells in it. You estimate that the food preparer did not wash his hands and probably inoculated the pizza with 500 S. aureus. He also forgot to refrigerate it. If the pie was made 6 hours ago, how many generations have occurred? How long is each generation in minutes? (Use 0.301 for log2)
n= 12.5
t= 28.8 min/generation
Nt = N02n and g = t/n.
