Question

How can the growth in the chart best be described?

A. Bacteria takes 4 hours to reproduce.

B. Bacteria reproduces slowly, causing the population to grow exponentially.

C. Bacteria reproduces quickly, causing the population to grow exponentially.

D. There are many limiting factors causing the bacterial population to fluctuate near carrying capacity.

Answer 1

Answer;

C. Bacteria reproduces quickly, causing the population to grow exponentially.

Explanation;

• Exponential growth occurs when a population is supplied with unlimited amounts of resources such as water, and food. moisture, oxygen and other environmental factors needed for growth.
• This type of growth occurs as a population grows larger, thus increasing the growth rate of a population.
• In the case, of bacteria during the exponential phase the cells divide quickly at a constant rate depending on the composition of the growth medium and the conditions necessary for growth.

Answer 2

Exponential growth is a condition when organism growth rapidly over short period of time and the graph clearly showed that.
So the answer would be : C. Bacteria reproduces quickly, causing the population to grow exponentially

hope this helps
