</span>The typical growth curve for population of cells can be divided into several distinct phases called the lag phase, log phase, stationary phase and death phase.
Lag phase- When a microbial population is inoculated into a fresh medium, growth usually does not begin immediately but only after a period of time called the lag phase, which may be brief or extended depending on the

Log phase (exponential phase)In this phase - bacterial cell numbers doubles during each unit time period (i.e. generation time). For example: a culture containing 1,000 organisms per ml with a generation time of 20 minutes would contain 2,000 organisms per ml after 20 minute, 4,000 after 40 minute, 8,000 after 60 minutes, 16,000 after 120 minutes. The generation time of most bacteria is between 20 minutes to 20 hours.history of culture and growth conditions.

Stationary phase- The number of new cells produced balances the number of cells that die, resulting in a steady state. In batch culture, exponential growth cannot occur indefinitely because the essential nutrients of the culture medium are used and waste products of organisms accumulate in the environment. In stationary phase there is no net increase or decrease in cell number. 

Death phase- If incubation continues after a bacterial population reaches the stationary phase, the cells may start dying. Cell death may be due to cell lysis and this is also an exponential process but much slower than that of exponential growth.

Describe the principle of MPN for enumerating bacteria from a natural sample.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

MNP stands for the most probable number which is used for finding out the concentration of viable bacteria in a sample. It is commonly used to check the quality of water and its safety. Usually, the presence of fecal coliform bacteria is checked in this test.  

Principle of MNP: The sample which is to be tested is diluted serially and then inoculated into a broth medium containing lactose. If coliforms are present in the tube than it will consume lactose and release acid and gas.

Color change represents acid production and gas trapped in the Durham tube represents the gas production by bacteria. Then the number of tubes at each dilution that showed positive results are compared with standards to determine the most probable number of the bacteria.

What happens when an organism has more carbohydrates than needed to meet its energy requirements? The organism begins to break d
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The correct answer is - The extra energy is converted to fat and stored until needed.

Explanation:

When someone intakes more carbohydrates than they need at a particular time body converts the excess amount of the carbohydrate into glycogen and stored in the liver cells.

One glycogen level is full the insulin starts converting the carbohydrate into fatty acids that move to different parts of the body and stoored like adipose tissue in the belly and thigh.

Thus, the correct answer is - The extra energy is converted to fat and stored until needed.

When a single cell of E. coli reproduces, it first duplicates its DNA. Next, the cell elongates as each copy of DNA is pulled to
Advocard [28]

The options are:

A. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

B. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

C.  They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

D. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

Answer:

The correct answer is- C.  They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

<em>E. coli </em>reproduces through binary fission in which the genetic material of cell of <em>E. coli</em> first duplicates and then the cell elongates and each of the copies of their genetic material is moved to opposite poles.  

After this, the cell gets divided into two equal daughter cells. As binary fission is an asexual reproduction so there is no mixing or combination of genetic material from other <em>E.coli</em> therefore the resultant daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

Therefore the correct answer is option c.
