Assume you inoculated 100 cells, with a generation time of 20 minutes, into 100 ml of nutrient broth. you then inoculated 100 cells of the same species into 200 ml of nutrient broth. after incubation for 3 hours, you can reasonably expect to havea) the same number of cells in both.
b) more cells in the 100 ml.
c) more cells in the 200 ml.
d) the answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.

a) the same number of cells in both

Explanation:

In cells reproduction, in both cases we consider the same specie, the same generation time, and we assume the same broth.

The only advantage of the container with more milliliters of nutrients is that when the population increases, it will need more nutrients, so maybe the reproduction rate in the container with 100 ml will be lower.

But if the temperature, the quantity of nutrients are the same in both containers, so the volume is not a variable to affect the speed or low the reproduction rate.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
