The right answer is exponential.

The bacterium multiplies by binary fission: the bacteria grow and then divide into two daughter cells separated by a septum of division formed by the cell wall. During division, the DNA is duplicated as well as the other constituents. Various enzymatic systems of synthesis and degradation participate in cell division.

Bacterial growth is the orderly growth of all components of the bacteria. It results in an increase in the number of bacteria.

During the growth, there is, on one hand, depletion of nutrients in the culture medium and, secondly, an enrichment of by-products of metabolism, potentially toxic. Growth can be studied in a liquid or solid medium.

1 - Growth curve: The growth of a bacterium is studied in a liquid medium. There are 6 phases which together constitute the growth curve.

. Latency phase: the zero growth rate (μ = 0). The duration of this phase depends on the age of the bacteria and the composition of the medium. This is the time required for the bacteria to synthesize the enzymes adapted to the new substrate (no lag phase if transplanting on the same medium as the previous one).

. Acceleration phase: There is an increase in the growth rate.

. Exponential growth: the growth rate reaches a maximum (μ = max). This phase lasts as long as the growth rate is constant. The doubling time of bacteria is the shortest. The cell mass is represented by viable cells (zero mortality).

. Slowing phase: the speed of growth decreases. There is a depletion of the culture medium and an accumulation of waste. There is a beginning of autolysis of bacteria.

. Stationary maximum phase: the growth rate becomes naked (μ = 0). Bacteria that multiply compensate for those that die.

. Decline phase: the growth rate is negative (μ <0). All the nutritional resources are exhausted. There is accumulation of toxic metabolites. There is a decrease in viable organisms and cell lysis under the action of endogenous proteolytic enzymes. However, growth persists by release of substances released during lysis (cryptic growth).

I believe the answer is D because exponential graphs are described as a "J curve.".

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A double-helical DNA molecule consists of two DNA strands. A DNA strand has free 5' phosphate at one end and a free hydroxyl group (OH) at its 3' end. A DNA double helix is said to be antiparallel since each end of the double helix has an exposed 5' phosphate on one strand and a free 3' hydroxyl group (OH) on the other. This means that the two DNA strands run in opposite directions. A phosphate group is always esterified to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar; never at its 3' end.

Reptile [31]

Dislocations is a musculoskeletal injury in which there is a partial or temporary separation of the bone ends as well as partial tearing of the supporting ligaments .

4 types of musculoskeletal injuries includes repetitive strain injuries (RSIs), repetitive motion injuries, cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs), work-related upper limb disorders (WRULDs).

Most common type of musculoskeletal injury is Muscle Strains, back pain, and arthritis . Muscle strains can happen due to improper technique of lifting heavy objects, lifting too much weight at one time, and repetitive movements. The key symptoms of a muscle strain are sudden pain that worsens while contracting the muscle, swelling and bruising, loss of strength and range of motion. People often report the sensation of pain as the feeling of being "stabbed." When muscle is initially injured, significant inflammation and swelling occurs.
