Question

A particular bacterium population is found to double the in 20 minutes. If a laboratory culture

Answer 1

The bacteria present at t=37 minutes is found to be 8.40, with no change in growth rate.

What does population growth exponentially mean?

When a population's per capita growth rate remains constant, regardless of population size, exponential growth occurs, causing the population to grow exponentially as the population increases.

Given:

P = 340

It has been discovered that a specific bacterial population doubles in 20 minutes.

k = 2/20 = 0.1

t = 37 minutes

We know that,

P = P₀$e^{kt}$

340   = P₀($e^{0.1*37}$)

340 =P₀(40.44)

P₀ = 8.40

As a result, the bacteria that will be present in t=37 minutes is found to be 8.40 with no change in growth rate.
