Answer: First, the bacteria will adjust and then it will divide.

Explanation:

Once the bacterial species is put into the cultural medium, there the bacteria present in the medium needs to acclimatize in the medium and then start growing.

There is a lag phase before the log phase because first the bacteria will adjust into the medium and then start dividing.
