Question

a bacterium divides every 30 minutes.if an initial population of such bacterium containing 10^9 cells per ml is grown for 180 minutes what will be the final no. of cells per ml in that population?​

Answer 1

Answer:

dear the question is wrong

Explanation:

It is given that a bacterium divides every 35 minutes.

At 0 minutes, the culture contains 10

5

cells/ml

After 35 minutes, the culture will contain 2

1

x 10

5

cells /ml

Similarly, after 175 minutes, that is after 5 generations, the number of cells will be 2

5

x 10

5

cells/ml

This is equal to 32 x 10

5

cells/ml

Thus, the correct answer is '32 x 10

5

.'
