Answer 2

The average size of cells during the exponential phase of growth is lesser than that in the lag phase. (option b)

• The lag phase is the phase when bacteria take time to understand their surroundings and takes time to utilize all the nutrients given to them. As they don't show any instant growth in number, they keep on increasing in their size.
• When bacteria enter the log phase, they show an exponential increase in number. The result of which is unable to gain a maximal size. They divide so fast that they don't get an increase in size, instead, the average size gets lesser than that of the lag phase.
• Thus option b is correct.
