When bacteria are inoculated into a new sterile nutrient broth, their numbers don’t begin to increase immediately. Instead, ther

e is a lag phase that may last for an hour or even several days. Why don’t bacterial numbers increase immediately?
A. The medium contains inhibitors that prohibit rapid growth of the bacteria, and these must be inactivated before bacterial numbers will increase.
B. The bacteria must adjust to the nutrient content in the new medium, synthesizing necessary amino acids, growth factors, and enzymes.

Answer: Option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When bacteria is introduced into a medium it first has to adapt and secrete the necessary growth factors and enzymes that will aid in the digestion of nutrients found in this new medium. After lag phase follows exponential growth where bacteria grows at a rapid rate till it reaches a stationary phase due to nutrient depletion.

What does finny insist must have made gene bounce the branch that day?
Alecsey [184]
The answer is blind impulse. This means the sudden and uncountable desire to do something. In the novel, Finny and gene have been each other's double from the beginning of the novel. Gene says to Finny the he would never have been good in the war, since he would have been willing to play basket ball with the foe instead of fighting.  This brought Finny in to tears, and asks if Gene's part in the fall was just "blind impulse" and not a deliberate expression of hate.
