Starting with 5 x 10^2 cells and a 10-minute generation time, after 40 minutes, there will be 80 x 10^2 cells due to exponential growth.
With an initial density of 5 x 10^2 cells and a generation time of 10 minutes, after 40 minutes (4 generations), there will be 80 x 10^2 cells (5 x 10^2 * 2^4).
| Front | If a culture inoculated to a density of 5 x 102 at time 0 and has a generation and lag time of 10 minutes, how many cells will be there in 40 minutes? |
|---|---|
| Back | Each cell divides into two at each generation following the single lag phase ↓ At the end of 10 minutes there are 5 x102 ↓ At the end of 20 minutes there are 10x102 ↓ At the end of 20 minutes there are 20x102 ↓ At the end of 40 minutes there are 40x102 Cells experience exponential growth |
