Question

The bacteria took 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill the initial bottle. Explain how it only took 10 minutes to fill 3 additional empty bottles.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sample Response: The bacteria took more time to double from 1 cell to a bottle full of cells. Once the bottle was full, each cell in the full bottle doubled, causing an additional bottle to be filled in 5 minutes. Then the 2 full bottles doubled in the next 5 minutes, causing all 3 bottles to be full.

Answer 2

The reason that despite taking 1 hour and 40 minutes to fill a single bottle, bacteria took only ten minutes to fill another three bottles is:

• The time consuming process which bacterias go through for their multiplication is binary fission.
• Once the bacteria get multiplied by this process subsequently, same process occur in all the cells.
• Once the container is filled, the cells filled in that bottle get multiplied simultaneously causing additional three bottles get filled in just a small duration of ten minutes.
