Question

Bacteria are the most common example of exponential growth. Select a number

Answer 1

From single cell of bacteria the number becomes, 2, 8, 64, ... and so on.

Explanation:

Bacteria is one of the best examples that show exponential growth.

The equation that shows the exponential growth of bacteria is

N = N₀ X 2ⁿ

If we consider the growth of the bacteria starts from 1 cell then,

N = 1 X 2⁰

N= 1

In 1 hour, the cell number becomes,

N = 1 X 2¹

N = 2

In 2nd hour, the cell number becomes,

N = 2 X 2²

N = 8

In 3rd hour, the cell number becomes,

N = 8 X 2³

N = 64

The growth continues exponentially and then becomes stationary after a certain period of time when enough nutrients are not present.

Thus from single cell of bacteria the number becomes, 2, 8, 64, ... and so on.

Answer 2

In simple terms, Bacteria can be stated a large group of single-cell microorganisms and they can easily found everywhere which lack nucleus and organelles

Explanation:

• The Bacterial growth can be stated as the  multiplication of bacteria into two daughter cells and this process is stated as binary fission
• In simple terms, the exponential growth or rate of a bacteria is stated as the generation time
• Mostly bacteria will grow based on  factors like air, temperature, etc
• For example,  E.coli takes around fifteen to sixteen minutes  for growth and the bacteria coliform takes around twelve to twelve  four hours depends upon the factors
