You get infected with 1 bacteria cell. 24 hours later how many bacteria cells will your body have?

Empirically, you may get something in the region of 6,291,456.
However, if you assume 3 divisions per hour, that means there are 3 x 24 = 72 different divisions.
The number of bacteria that there are after n divisions is 2n. For example:
After 1 division: 21 = 2
After 2 divisions: 22 = 4
After 3 divisions: 23 = 8
After 3 divisions: 24 = 16
etc.
So, the total number of bacteria after 72 divisions will be 272 = 4.72 x 1021.

If your bacteria reproduce every 20 minutes how many bacteria would you have at the end of four hours assuming that you begin with one bacterium?
It would be 4096. Bacteria generally reproduce by binary fission - a process in which division gives rise to two identical cells. If it divides every 20 min, then after 4 hrs or (12 x 20 min), no. of cells would be 2^12 or 4096.
Cells store what in lipids to use later?
Lipids are used for energy storage, cushions vital organs, and insulates the organism
Does a small baby have more cartilage in its bones than it will have in later life because the cartilage cells are replaced by bone cells?
YesThat is true.
What are long lived b cell clone members that do not become plasma cells but are capable of an immune response against the same antigen at a later time called?
Memory Cells
Who stated that all cells come only from other living cells?
Louis Pasteur was responsible for the development of the swan knecked flask experiment which effectively disproved the previously accepted theory that cells were spontaneously generated from non-living matter (abiogenisis- without reproduction of cells). Pasteur was alive from 1822-1895 and during that time people debated the issue with reference to how bacteria and mould could just "appear" on food and drink. Many believed that just because you boiled some broth and covered it to show that no bacteria grew did not prove that bacteria came flying in through the air,because boiling killed the "active substace" and air was also needed for spontaneous generation of bacteria. So pasteur developed the swan-knecked flask which allowed air in, but trapped any microorganisms in the bend of the kneck, preventing them from reaching the broth. He added beef broth to these swan-necked flask, boiled them to kill any microorgansms that may already be present, and left them sitting. Months and months later there was still no growth of bacteria. But when he broke the kneck of one flask, bacteria grew in the broth within days. Also in another flask, he tilted itover so broth could pour into the bend of the neck then he straightened it again. This flask also had bacterial growthwithin a few days. The experiment showed that if bacteria -already living cells- were allowed into the broth, then more bacteria could grow, but if they were trapped in the neck and never got to the broth, the broth remained clear and free from bacteria. It is said there is still a Louis Pasteur swan-necked flask with broth in it, with no bacterial growth in it, this many years down the track.
If you get your belly button pierced and less than 48 hours later you go swimming in chlorine can it get infected?
Yes. It isn't really the chlorine that you should worry about. Its all of the other bacteria floating around in the pool.
If you had someone elses bacteria in your Vagina would your own bacteria kill someone elses bacteria would it be washed away or would it still be there years later?
Your white blood cells would kill the bacteria
how are new viruses produced How might this process cause harm to the infected cell?
All viruses kill they cells that they infect. If not right away then later.
I just got a big cut on my knee and a couple days later yellow stuff started covering it what is it exactly?
it is your white blood cells trying to fight the bacteria that entered your knee when you first got the cut. do not touch it or you would introduce more bacteria to your white blood cells.
What is the significant role of spore formation in the reproductive cycle of bacillus anthracis?
Helps bacteria survive extreme conditions and later develop into fully functional bacterial cells.
What is a good science fair project title dealing with bacteria in your mouth?
microscopic analysis of mouth cells: a closer look at bacterial growth and colonies...hope this helps( it probs will)

How did the infected in the movie 28 Weeks Later survive through 28 weeks without food?
They didn't. All of the infected in 28 Weeks Later were infected in the second outbreak at the repopulation center.At the beginning of 28 Weeks Later, a timeline is given to explain what happened in the interim between 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The 3rd point on the timeline reads, "5 Weeks Later: The infected have died of starvation." That's why they feel it's safe to start repopulating England.The complete timeline is as follows:15 Days Later: Mainland Britain is quarantined.28 Days Later: Mainland Britain has been destroyed by the rage virus.5 Weeks Later: The infected have died of starvation.11 Weeks Later: An American-led NATO force enters London.18 Weeks Later: Mainland Britain is declared free of infection.24 Weeks Later: Reconstruction begins.
What do cells use to store lipids to use later?

How does the body react to harmful bacteria?
alveolar macrophages crawl freely along internal alveolar surfaces
How quickly does leukemia spread?
In leukaemia infected white blood cells (leukocytes) accumulate in the blood and in the bone marrow. The bone marrow gets overwhelmed by the infected cells and cannot produce healthy, normal cells. Leukaemia is classified by the onset/progress/speed of the disease. Chronic leukaemia: - the onset and progress is slow, - mainly affects adults, - death occurs many years later. Acute leukaemia: - the onset and progress is abrupt, - can affect any ages, - death occurs rapidly if not treated. Blast cells (the least differentiated, precursor stem cell), signifies the acute stage. (Chronic stage does not have blast cells in the peripheral blood).
