A culture of bacteria is found to contain 4.95 X 109 bacteria and the carrying capacity of the culture is 5.0 X 109. How will the bacterial population change in the near future. Group of answer choices -it will increase very rapidly to K -it will increase very slowly to K -it will grow exponentiall -it will decrease very rapidly to K

You sample cole slaw for bacteria soon after purchase, and after it has been left out on the kitchen counter for 6 hours (room temperature), and after 12 hours (at room temperature). From the data below, CALCULATE the generation time of the bacteria in this sample (at room temperature) – that is, the time it takes for the bacterial population to double in number. Soon after purchase: 4.0 x 103 bacteria per mlAt 6 hours at Room Temperature: 1.9 x 105 bacteria per ml ( = 192 x 103 bacteria per ml)At 12 hours at Room Temperature: 1.2 x 107 bacteria per ml ( = 12,300 x 103 bacteria per ml) What do you calculate the generation time to be? (generation time is the time needed for the population to double in size ) Hint: What is double the initial population? Hint:…

Bacteria grown in a lab experience what is called an 'exponential phase' of population growth. Suppose that, during this phase, a colony of Escherichia coli you are growing has a per capita growth rate, r, of 0.0347 per minute. If the size of your colony at the start of the exponential phase is 0.25 billion cells, then approximately how large will it be in 120 minutes?
For the bacterial growth curve below in which phase does the number of cell divisions equal the number of cell deaths? Log of number of bacteria 0 Lag Phase Intense activity preparing for population growth, but no increase in population. lag 2019 Pearson Education, Inc. log Log Phase Logarithmic, or exponential, increase in population. stationary Stationary Phase Period of equilibrium; microbial deaths balance production of new cells. The logarithmic growth in the log phase is due to reproduction by binary fission (bacteria) or mitosis (yeast). 5 Time (hr) Death Phase Population is decreasing at a logarithmic rate. death Staphylococcus sp. 10 None of the other four answers are correct Log Phase Stationary Phase Death Phase Lag Phase
Bacteria is being cultured in an agar plate. It was observed that the growth of bacteria is proportional to the bacterial population itself. In an experiment done between 12:00NN and 2:00PM, the population triples. At what time should the population be 100 times than it was at noontime? Select the correct response: 7:48 PM 8:50 PM none of these 8:22 PM 9:10 PM

. Bacterial growth is the proliferation of bacterium into two daughter cells, in a process called binary fission. Ideally and normally, the resulting daughter cells are genetically identical to the original cell. From here, the bacterial population undergoes exponential growth. Following this exponential model, how much greater is the population in a certain culture of bacteria after three generations as compared to the initial? Express your answers in percent.
Researchers are designing several experiments to test the ability of Salmonella bacteria to develop antibiotic resistance. A culture of Salmonella bacteria is exposed to the same concentrations (200 mg/L) of an antibiotic for four days. The table shows the number of isolated resistant bacteria over a four-day period. Which of the following statements best explains these results? Day Number of Resistant Bacteria in the Culture 1 5 2 59 3 677 4 32,456 The bacteria were not affected by the antibiotic. After being exposed to the antibiotic, the bacteria altered the antibiotic. A new species of bacteria emerged after the antibiotics were introduced. Random mutations led some bacteria to be resistant and, over time, they increased in the population.
A microbiologist inoculated a flask of nutrient broth with E. coli. The bacterial population entered exponential phase at 11:30 pm and divided every 60 min. At 6:30 am, the culture entered stationary phase with a population of 100,000,000 bacteria mL-¹.
